Concrete is the material which makes possible the greatest heights and farthest depths of construction. Neither the 828-m high Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, nor the Gotthard Base Tunnel, reaching 2,450 m below the central Alps, could have been achieved without reinforced concrete. However, concrete also has high and low points in the context of design: the same material that expresses the extreme slenderness of the shell roofs of Heinz Isler and Ulrich Müther, also identifies with concrete panel structures from the postwar era and the economics-driven design of motorway bridges that cut through so many river valleys with the most Brutalist possible monotony. Not by chance, a – cautiously expressed – ambivalent view of concrete developed out of this: the uninterrupted fascination of many engineers and architects with concrete stands in contrast to its rejection by broad sections of the public. Both sides base their judgements on the architectural experiences of the last 150 years, although concrete is far older. The material used by the ancient Romans stood the test of time, not only in the world-­ famous dome of the Pantheon in Rome but also in numerous arched structures and as the core material in multi-skinned walls. Following the end of the Roman Empire, concrete construction was largely ­forgotten in Europe until the late modern period. After Joseph Monier was awarded the first patent for ­concrete reinforced with iron in 1867, the material advanced step-by-step to become the leading technology of modern construction. The works of engineers and architects such as Francois Hennebique and Le Corbusier were crucial, revolutionary contributions to the rationalisation and aestheticisation of concrete. Their successors, on the other hand, have left us a problematic inheritance of defective, “maintenance-­intensive” concrete structures, the repair and replacement of which keep today’s engineers continuously busy. It is crucial that we learn from the mistakes of the past. In many situations, reinforced concrete remains indispensable, even today, because no other material comes anywhere near it in terms of protection against fire, noise and moisture. Its design diversity is likewise unbeatable – the structures discussed in this book bear witness to this fact. However, sustainable reinforced concrete construction today requires not only material-efficient and durable load-bearing structures, but also careful consideration of what should be built, where and when. To do anything other would be environmentally and economically i­ rresponsible. If the global cement industry were a country, it would occupy third place behind China and the USA in the CO2 emissions league table. It accounts for between 4–8% of global emissions, depending on the method of calculation and production processes involved. Although binders with a much more favourable greenhouse effect, such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag from iron ore smelting and fly ash from coal-fired power plants, are now also available, the supply is unlikely to be anywhere near sufficient to satisfy even the world’s current hunger for concrete. Finding a way out of this dilemma requires pioneering work in many areas: in the development of new, more efficient load-bearing structures, in basic research into new concrete mixes and processing methods and, last but not least, in dealing with the concrete heritage of the past. Our book “robust ­resilient resistant” gives insights into the many facets of this work, from 3D printing with reinforced concrete to the refurbishment and demolition of road bridges and experiments with new types of arched structures, and from multi-storey buildings to semifinished products of prestressed carbon reinforced concrete. It also shows in detail some of the most impressive concrete structures of recent years, including the roofs of the new below-ground station at Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof and the TGV station in Montpellier, the metro stations in Budapest and an office building in Lyon with column cross sections describing, in an exaggerated form, the increasing vertical loads from top to bottom of the building. We hope you find them a rich source of inspiration for your own work with reinforced concrete and a cause for some moments of critical reflection over a material in flux that is absolutely certain to exercise a powerful influence over construction in the future.

Ultralight ­Formwork System for Thin, Textile-­ reinforced ­Concrete Shells 020

ESSAY


HiLo is a research and innovation unit for lightweight construction and smart and ­adaptive building systems. Construction began in 2018 on this two-storey innovation hub and collaborative working space on NEST, EMPA’s modular research building in Dübendorf, Switzerland. The roof of the unit is a double-layered, doubly curved, carbonfibre­reinforced concrete shell structure with integrated hydronic heating and cooling and a thin-film photovoltaic system on top. With a total height of 7 metres, the roof covers an area of 120 square metres and has a total surface area of 160 square metres. A full-scale prototype of the bottom layer of the concrete roof was built at the Robotic Fabrication Lab of the I­nstitute of Technology in Architecture at ETH Zurich as a dress rehearsal for its innovative construction system. The base of the system is composed of r­ eusable scaffolding elements that support a set of timber edge beams. A cable net spans between the beams and the lower ­supports, and a fabric on top serves as shuttering for the sprayed concrete. The

cable net is comprised of custom-cut steel cables connected by rings and brackets and is d ­ esigned such that it deflects under the weight of the wet concrete into the correct ­final geometry, which it then supports until the shell has cured. To achieve this, the cable net must be precisely tensioned at the correct angle from specific anchor points on the CNC-milled edge beams. CABLE NET DESIGN The anticlastic shape of the concrete shell structure is the result of a custom-developed, multi-criteria optimisation process that balances architectural and functional constraints, such as possible touchdown regions, headroom clearances and solar orientation, with structural and fabrication requirements. 021

COMPLEX ROOF STRUCTURE The roof of the new high-speed train station in Montpellier consists of a perforated concrete structure of 115 modular, precast “palm” units of white, ultra­-high performance concrete (UHPC).

These doubly curved elements offer permanent protection against the sun and rain. Open gaps ­between the elements allow n ­ atural ventilation of the hall.

OVERALL STRUCTURE The load-bearing structure of the station has four main layers: the lowest is the reinforced concrete plinth, which has a grid of 18 × 19.45 m determined by the arrangement of the platforms. The second layer includes all the reinforced concrete constructions above the station hall

floor. The third structural layer is a multi-span welded steel column and beam frames (5 spans of 19.45 m longitudinally, 2 spans of 18 m and 36 m transversely). The fourth structural layer is the modular roof ­elements spanning between the steel main girders.

STRUCTURE OF THE ROOF ELEMENTS The palms are self-supporting precast units with a span of 16.84 m. They consist of a variable cross section central rib prestressed by four T15S cables and a doubly curved and perforated shell with edge upstands and are only 40 mm thick. The four reinforced corner bearings of each roof element rest on support brackets attached to the steel girders. The palms behave as statically determinate beams with pinned bearings at one end and longitudinally sliding bearings at the other. They do not provide any stiffening to the overall structure. In addition to their selfweight, they also carry maintenance access, snow, wind, temperature changes and earthquake loads. The extremely delicately proportioned shape of the elements required the design of a new UHPC mix, which incorporated a high proportion of stainless steel fibres (Ductal B3 FI 1.75 %).

Connecting the compression-loaded top edge to the pretensioned bottom edge by the thin, perforated shell, allowed each palm to act as a vaulted Vierendeel girder. The more highly loaded ends of the shell have fewer perforations. A transverse rib at the ridge prevents the V-shaped cross section from folding in on itself. As a result, the elements are very stiff. Their maximum deflection under self-weight including creep is 14.6 mm at the ridge, i.e. only 1/1200 of the span. The analysis using Sofistik took into account nonlinear behaviour in arriving at the design of the c ­ omplex geometry of the system and allowed crack widths to be limited to 0.01 mm. The high density and low porosity of the UHPC e ­ nsures that the elements are ­waterproof. Glass inserts seal the openings in the palms. The model of the whole roof indicated that the structural steel frames would ­deflect a maximum of +/- 28 mm laterally under earthquake loads, from which the joint width of 70 mm was derived.

VARYING DEGREES OF TRANSPARENCY The number of transparent openings in the palms above the hall reduces from north to south, which limits the amount of light and heat admitted. In addition, the density of the openings is less on the west-facing parts to ­reduce the entry of afternoon sun. The proportion of

6

transparent openings varies from 8 % in the southwest to 25 % in the northeast. The elements in the external roof projection over the forecourt are thicker and evenly perforated to create a gentle transition between indoor and outdoor lighting conditions.

Chalice ­Columns for Stuttgart 21


SOAP FILMS AND SUSPENDED MODELS The development of the geometry of the chalice is based on methods Frei Otto used in projects such as the German Pavilion at the 1967 World’s Fair in Montreal. He created a membrane surface using soap film and suspended models to arrive at an isotropic, even flow of tension forces under self-weight. The light eyes transfer the forces from the support points in the membrane surfaces without causing peaks of stress at the load introduction points. The geometry derived

from the suspended models was “frozen” and then turned upside down to give the required form of the compression structure. Even though the basic shape of the chalice was modified over the course of the design, it is still essentially the same. Due to their shape and the openings in the top, the chalices reflect daylight far into the platform hall. Ventilation flaps in the steelglass structure, which close the top of the light eyes, allow natural ventilation and airconditioning.

EXTENSIVE FINITE ELEMENT MODELLING Because the complex geometry cannot be clearly expressed in 2D drawings, the design of the load-bearing structure was based on a 3D model from the very beginning (fig. C). The model included precise detailing of the reinforced concrete structure and showed all the shell’s joints, in-built components and ducts. The structural design used various finite element models (FEM) based on the geometric model. These models were capable of simulating all the stages of construction and load cases, including seismic effects and structure/earth interactions. The critical load cases for the design were those

involving self-weight, fill on top of the structure, seismic effects, temperature and other imposed strains. The 3D model not only contained the geometry but also all the information about the load-bearing structure with coordinates. The 600 or so structural drawings for the shell roof were based on the model, which was also used as the basis for their data by many design and construction partners in other disciplines. The contractors used it for designing their formwork, and the structural engineers for the reinforcement design and detailing.

HIGH DENSITY OF REINFORCEMENT The complex reinforced concrete structure has a high density of reinforcement in some areas. In typical parts of the shell roof, each face has four layers of bar reinforcement. To make maximum use of the internal lever arm and to ensure adequate concrete cover, the bar reinforcement had to closely follow the component geometry. This resulted in four different basic bent bar forms. The structural engineers used their ­in-house 3D software to determine the precise geometric line of each bar. This data was then converted into actual reinforcing bars using a 3D reinforcement design program. Generating the bent forms took into account the elastic-­ plastic behaviour of the reinforcing steel and the technical limits of bar-bending machines. This 081

Stuttgart (DE)

revealed at an early stage in the design that ­certain bent-bar shapes could not be manufactured. The number of complex shapes, such as bars that had to be bent in different planes, could then be deliberately reduced to a minimum. A typical inner chalice with around 300 tonnes of reinforcement required 350 DIN A0 reinforcement drawings. A total of 12,000 such drawings were needed to detail the reinforcement for the complete shell roof. The 3D reinforcement model also proved useful on site: the contractors could check individual bar positions and fixing details against the design at any time in the drawing container.


THE SCOOP An unusual reinforcement feature is the scoop (figs. A, C), a strengthening upstand running ­partially around and over the top of the chalice. The scoop surrounds and carries the light eye. The forces from the steel/glass structure of the light eye are picked up by the scoop and transferred into the surounding concrete of the shell. This area has to be reinforced like a beam, which leads to local high concentrations of ­reinforcement. 32-mm diameter closed stirrups were arranged in a large ring surrounding the

scoop (fig. D). To be able to fix the tangential-­ running reinforcement conveniently from above and avoid having to painstakingly thread it into position, the s­ tirrups were left open at the top and closed only a short time before concreting. Special U ­ -shaped stirrups were designed for this task: their ends each had a steel plate to allow the stirrups to be simply closed using a transverse bar (figs. F, G).

FORMWORK AND CONCRETING The formwork design was also based on the 3D model. All the chalice columns are cast ­using three sets of formwork in which the i­ndividual ­elements can be varied according to the desired geometry. Around 600 glued timber board elements were manufactured by CNC milling, sanding and reinforcing with intermediate layers of GFP-reinforced resin. In addition to the complex geometry of the formwork elements, another challenge was to remove all the air from around the formed surfaces during concreting. The flowing consistency (F5) of the specially developed concrete mix, optimisation of concreting speed and intensity of vibration all helped prevent the formation of voids. A sample chalice was constructed to demonstrate the feasibility and provide a cast surface for reference as the work progressed. This took the form of a full-scale partial segment of a typical inner chalice. During steel fixing, the

necessary vibrators and concrete hoses were integrated into the reinforcement cage and then pulled out as the concreting progressed. A video camera monitored the behaviour of the concrete as it rose up the forms in the areas not ­directly visible. Any breaks in the concreting process would have shown up as pour marks at the surface. To ensure this could not happen, a second batching plant was always on standby. Stripping the forms from the chalice columns normally started after about three days. This ­ensured that the concrete surface came into contact with oxygen as soon as possible to keep any blue colouration to a minimum. Temporary 12-m long props were put in place around the chalice after stripping (fig. H). These temporary steel props had a square cross section with ­varying wall thicknesses. They prevent possible deformation along the edges of the chalice until the shrinkage gaps are closed.

Trains operating on the new Madrid–Lisbon line cross the Almonte River near Cáceres in Extremadura, Spain. The viaduct carrying them is 996 m long, spans 384 m over the river, has a deck supported on 20 piers 36 –45 m apart and is the largest reinforced concrete arch in the world carrying high-speed trains. No part of the substructure – not even temporary works – could be located in the river because of strict environmental protection rules. This required a very detailed investigation of the various possible

bridge types and how they could be constructed. The deck is designed as a continuous beam with sliding bearings on the piers and a fixed bearing at the arch crown. The arch performs all the critical functions in the transfer of the dynamic forces generated by trains travelling at speeds of up to 350 km/h. The arch was erected from both sides of the river as cantilevering arch segments supported by temporary cables. Andreas Ordon

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DETERMINING THE IDEAL SHAPE OF THE ARCH The design had to fulfil very stringent dynamic, serviceability and safety criteria. Given the type of structure, the construction method and the serviceability requirements, the complex calculations involved an iterative determination of an ideal antifunicular arch shape that took into account the dynamic amplifi­cation of railway

loading. Next followed a ­detailed analysis of the construction stages, nonlinear modelling of the serviceability and ultimate limit states and a detailed dynamic analysis. Wind tunnel tests on a reduced model confirmed the calculated performance of the structure in wind and the aero­elastic ­behaviour of the bridge.
