Product News: Scia Engineer - Cellular beams 'ENV 1993-1-1: 1992/A2' |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The purpose of this software tool is to facilitate the design of cellular beams according to the principles of the Eurocodes. Thanks to the integrated 3D graphical interface, its use requires little extra familiarization time. The design of the cellular beam is done by using the ArcelorMittal ACB solver. The beams are fabricated from I-shape hot-rolled profiles and the openings are circular. The upper and the lower chord may be from different base profiles and different steel grades. Scia Engineer is provided with a library of fabricated cross-sections delivered by ArcelorMittal. The internal forces from any cellular beams are generated by the Scia Engineer solver in pre-defined sections of the beam. They are generated on different posts along the web openings. These internal forces are used to check the Arcelor beam by the ArcelorMittal solver according to EC3 - Annex N: ENV 1993-1-1: 1992/A2.
The user can also perform the resistance checks at the Ultimate Limit States and a deflection check at the Serviceability Limit State. |

Market news: A gigantic dragon awaits the world at the Beijing airport |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A few months before the launch of the Olympic Games this summer, the airport of Beijing has inaugurated its new terminal. Designed by architect Norman Foster in the shape of a dragon, it has to accommodate 25 airline companies. 170 football stadiums: that is the equivalent in surface of the new terminal of the international airport of Beijing. It was inaugurated on Friday by the Shandong Airlines society with a flight coming from Jinan, in the east of China. According to its architect, Norman Foster, the new terminal extends over 98 hectares; a surface that is larger than the five terminals gathered on the British airport of Heathrow. The dragon-shaped terminal 3 measures more than 3 km and has cost about 2,7 billion dollars (1,8 billion Euros). Before the launch of the Olympic Games on 8 August, it has to accommodate 25 airline companies, which have to divert 500 000 visitors to Beijing. The airport, which is meant for 35 millions of passengers a year, already had 48 millions of visitors in 2007. The works continued for four years and needed 50 000 employees. 10 000 inhabitants of new villages located in the north-east of the city had to move to make room for the new terminal. |

About the company GESPLAN The project By means of the Allplan software, Gesplan modelled a 3D building and reinforcement drawings. It went quite easily despite the fact that they proved to be quite complex, especially in the filter zone. The structure of the building is as follows:
The division of the building according to the different construction drawings, allowed the contractor to better define the execution stages (prefabrications, etc.) and the progress of his planning. The works have started in May 2006 and will be finished at the end of 2008. The following modules have been very useful for the realization of the drawings:
The use of the Allplan software allowed in the first place to create the 3D structure (in order to get a better insight of the building) and secondly to realize complete reinforcement drawings. |
