SCIA Engineer\u2019s<\/a> structural engineering software was used to create the\u00a0full FE model and generate the analysis output used in all aspects of the design on the Bayscape building in Cardiff Bay<\/h2>\n

The Bayscape building is composed of two apartment blocks which are 9 and 10-storeys high, repectively. These two blocks are then joined by a podium slab that serves as an open space for relaxation with a splendid view of the adjacent marina.<\/p>\n

The Bayscape brief was to provide 115 executive apartments whilst maintaining a parking space for each of them below the podium slab. This requirement meant that the two apartment blocks were built of large transfer beams spanning between strategically placed columns, positioned to maximise car parking.<\/p>\n

Economic design through detailed analysis<\/h3>\n

SCIA Engineer was vital in producing\u00a0accurate load analysis\u00a0of the structure which was critical for the\u00a0design of the large transfer beams. Supporting up to 380 tonnes, the structural engineering software<\/a> was able to\u00a0save 30% of reinforcement\u00a0compared to traditional 1D analysis. The 70m x 65m podium slab required a structural\u00a0movement joint which was also accurately modelled in SCIA Engineer.<\/p>\n

A lot of attention was paid to the distribution of loads at the podium level. Due to the additional stiffness from the transfer beams (ribs) in the model, engineers scrutinised carefully the load distribution around the floor plate in order to determine accurately the foundation loads.<\/p>\n

SCIA engineer in all aspects of the design<\/h3>\n

SCIA Engineer<\/a> was used to create the\u00a0full FE model and generate the analysis output used in all aspects of the design.<\/p>\n

Among others, the detailed analysis in SCIA Engineer allowed client RVW Consulting Ltd<\/a> to reduce the amount of the shear connectors at the tender stage.<\/p>\n

The client also carried out\u00a0code dependant deflections\u00a0assessment to establish long term displacements.<\/p>\n
