Office Building Junghof – Visible Steel for a Fire Safe Structure

Structural Engineering International 1/2007 developed. To prepare buildable structural details it became necessary to develop plane glass surfaces and a roof structure with constant depth. This was done by defining a mathematical net for the outer surface. Relating to the net nodes, all additional design depths of the structure and dry ceiling were defined. The system lines of the structural model for the calculation of the design forces were also taken from this net. This structural model then served as the basis for the final design drawings.
