Office building in California

John Hopkins University – United States

Concrete core and a frame with 3 levels of buckle-resistance bracing for seismic design were adopted to provide safety against earthquake in a seismically active zone, as well as fire and other structural hazards.

Museum + Auditorium in Barcelona

Acciona infrastructuras S.A. – Spain

The DHub – Barcelona Design Center building unifies the collections of 4 other museums in a new, larger structure.

Office building in Madrid

MC2 Ingeniería – Spain

The building is an office tower part of a 4-tower development in a prominent area of Madrid.

Complex building in Guangzhou (CTF Center Building)

Tongji University – China

Main structural members like shear walls, columns, and floors adopted composite components to increase their bearing capacity.

Office building in Rovereto

Premetal – Italy

The building stems from the site of a pre-existing industrial facility in a very central area of the valley where Rovereto is set.

Completely concrete encased steel I- section columns made of self-compacting concrete (SCC)

Iuav University of Venice – Italy

Steel profiles fully encased in concrete are a very common example of composite construction in infrastructures, building located in seismic-prone areas and several underwater structures, especially in China.

Office building in Hernani

MC2 Ingeniería – Spain

The building is the headquarter of the Orona Lift Industry, as well as the central point of a new campus creating a place that is both a flagship and a common home for its more than 4,500 employees and a hub for researchers and students on its vertical transportation, urban mobility, energy and technology branches.

Office building in Texas

John Hopkins University – United States

A unique system of beams linked to a core shear wall, and exterior bundled columns were adopted to support the height of the building (it was the tallest composite building in the world when it was completed in 1980) and address various structural challenges, such as the natural tendency of the tube perimeter frame to warp.

New concept of composite steel-reinforced concrete floor slab

Iuav University of Venice – Italy

The innovation proposed aims to provide a slim floor system with a total thickness of 282mm with higher mechanical resistance than a comparable conventional slim floor assembly, by strengthening the composite behavior of the steel-concrete bond thanks to rebars that work as shear studs, blocking the differential slip of the concrete to steel connection.
