The building stands out against its green surroundings in an unmistakably bright blue. The new building in Geiselbulach has a partial basement and provides space for both a visitors' center and numerous parked vehicles. The engineering office and Dlubal customer "Die Tragwerker GmbH" was in charge of the structural design.
Structure
The T-shaped floor plan is spanned by a reinforced concrete monopitch roof. In addition to the inclined reinforced concrete columns, the entrance area features an impressive steel and glass staircase with a length of 8 m (26 ft) that connects the floors in a functional and aesthetic way. Above the lobby, a wall-like beam spans 18 m (59 ft) from the first to the second floor. This creates a spacious canteen and meeting room underneath.
The foundation is laid in the part of the building without a basement by means of a floor slab freely spanned between foundation beams. The beam-like strip footings transfer the concentrated loads into the load-bearing subsoil by means of well rings. An elastically bedded reinforced concrete floor slab is used in the basement area.
The Dlubal customer "Die Tragwerker GmbH" has created a truly interesting building using the structural analysis software RFEM.
