Residential complex
Reinforced concrete frames of two adjoining apartment buildings, one G+4, the other G+5 with a mezzanine, each over a basement.
Structural design & BIM modelling
from the model to the calculation report.
Structural engineering for reinforced concrete and steel buildings: design, member sizing and construction drawings, all developed on the BIM model.
Projects
From foundations to construction drawings.
Steel hangar
Steel structure of a hangar spanning twenty metres, some forty metres long and seven metres high at the ridge: portal frames, bracing and bolted connections, down to the column bases.
Public building
Reinforced concrete frame of a public building nearly fifty metres long, G+2.
Mosque with minaret
Reinforced concrete frame of a mosque on three levels, including a basement, crowned by a dome, together with a minaret rising to nearly twenty metres.
Approach
Calculation and drawing handled as one workflow.
01
Model and calculations developed together
The BIM model and the calculation report draw on the same data. This common basis removes any gap between the model, the calculations and the drawings issued to site.
02
The clause, always cited
Every check carries the reference of the clause it relies on. A calculation report must be open to review and challenge, clause by clause.
03
Explicit assumptions
Allowable bearing pressure, concrete class, cover, seismic category: the assumptions are stated at the top of the report.
04
Traceability
Dated revisions, recorded assumptions, readable calculation sheets. A calculation that cannot be picked up again six months later has no value.
Scope
Reinforced concrete and structural steelwork.
Reinforced concrete
Residential and office buildings, public facilities and places of worship, underground structures and tanks. From basement to roof, foundations included.
Structural steelwork
Industrial halls, hangars and long-span roofs, as well as hybrid structures combining a steel frame with a concrete structure.
