Vilstalhalle in Vilsbiburg, Germany

The Vilstalhalle in Vilsbiburg, built in 1978, is undergoing extensive renovation. The measures include replacing the roof cladding, adding floors to the building, and modernizing the ventilation and electrical systems. The thermal envelope of the building will also be upgraded to improve energy efficiency.

The three-story building has a length of about 45 m and a width of about 35 m. The basement houses a bowling alley, locker rooms, a gym, and building services. The first floor contains the gymnasium court, changing rooms, and a restaurant, while the upper floor houses the grandstands.

The existing duopitch roof consists of parallel glued-laminated timber trusses with an eave height of 100 cm (39.37 in) and a ridge height of 200 cm (78.74 in). In the areas of the two dividing curtains, they are arranged as double trusses, with a cross‑section that is lower about 22 cm (8.66 cm). Contrary to the information in the structural calculations from 1978, the standard trusses have a width of 18 cm (7.09 in) instead of 20 cm (7.87 in). The double trusses have a planned width of 16 cm (6.3 in). There are skylight domes in every second bay between the trusses.

As part of the renovation, an addition will be added above the first floor to create additional gym and weight rooms, as well as wet rooms on the second floor. The existing apartments in the restaurant and janitorial areas will be demolished. The supporting structure in the area of the restaurant and the future foyer will also be dismantled.

The structural design of the additional story was done by Dlubal customer BBI INGENIEURE GmbH, using the structural analysis software RFEM.
