Structural Design
Concept
The aim of structural design is to work out an appropriate concept for the load carrying system, while considering structural integrity, serviceability and financial targets. In the design process different concepts are studied to achieve an optimized solution.
The development of the structural system, its dimensions and the principal details are carried out in close coordination with all parties.
Analysis and dimensioning
Static and dynamic analyses are carried out using powerful 3D-finite-element software. Realistic results can be obtained using nonlinear models, which provides structural safety and economic dimensioning.
The design can be carried out for all materials, such as reinforced concrete, steel, timber, brickwork, glass or membranes. Based on our international experience not only current german codes of practice are used but also major international design codes can be applied.
