Columns made from conventional reinforced concrete would not have been capable of meeting the very specific requirements of this building. We designed special cast-in elements to transfer the horizontal forces generated by the skewed position to the slab, and in some cases short-circuited the forces directly between individual columns in the corner area as well.
Spun-concrete columns were used on the normal floors – and here too spannverbund provided expertise and took charge of the design calculations.
