Office building in Pennsylvania

John Hopkins University – United States

One-of-a-kind damper was adopted to withstand the height and wind horizontal loads while enabling the asymmetrical design of the building.

Complex building in Goteborg

Iuav University of Venice – Italy

Karlatornet is a multi purpose tower under construction in Goteborg, Sweden, expected to be completed in 2024- The building has a very distinctive shape with a twist at approximately 2/3 of its height, where the four corners of the tower rotate in different directions.

Mass, direct cost and energy life-cycle cost optimization of steel-concrete composite floor structures

Iuav University of Venice – Italy

The scope of the research is to push the optimization of composite floor systems further.

Office building in Paris

DVVD Architecture Ingenierie Design – France

The building rises on the site previously occupied by another much smaller building of 11.

School in Montelabbate

Studio AEDITECNE di Vicenza – Italy

Multiple types of steel products, including composite columns (concrete filled tubes) and composite beams (thin-walled steel profiles with concrete infill) were used to retrofit the structural system of an elementary school that was deemed unsafe according to the new code requirements that came into force in Italy in 2003.

Office building in Sydney (One Shelley Street building)

UNSW, Sydney – Australia

The One Shelley Street building in Sydney was completed in 2010 and is best known for utilising an extremely efficient steel diagrid perimeter structure to eliminate the need for internal columns and to minimise the use of internal structural cores.

Museum in Heilbronn

Schlaich Bergermann Partner – Germany

The Experimenta Science Center extension is the most recent addition to a pre-existing museum in Heilbroon, Germany.

Office building in Shenzhen

Tongji University – China

Steel and concrete composite outer frame columns were adopted to provide sufficient strength and stiffness, effectively bearing vertical and horizontal forces.

Office building in SÃO PAULO

Engineer appointed by Gerdau – Brazil

The composite solution was chosen considering not only the optimized best technical solution (building height, gravitational/lateral forces applied, lateral resistance system adopted), but also the total cost, erection time-consuming and time to get the raw material from providers as well.
