Apartment block with a reinforced concrete frame
A finished G+8 apartment block with a taller G+10 section: insulated rendered façade, aluminium windows, balconies with glass balustrades and a stone-clad commercial ground floor. Structure mode shows the reinforced concrete frame under construction: columns on a 6 m grid, flat slabs, a rigid core for the stairs and lift, and the external steel escape stair.
3D modelWhat we set out to do
- A clear structure, with a regular column grid and beamless slabs
- A rigid core that takes horizontal loads, including seismic ones
- An independent escape route on every floor
Technical solutions and materials
- 50 × 50 cm reinforced concrete columns and 25 cm flat slabs on a raft foundation
- Reinforced concrete core walls for the stairwell and lift
- External steel stair in HEA and UPN sections, with grating treads and X-bracing
- Insulated rendered façade, aluminium windows and a stone-clad ground floor
Presentation 3D model: sections, reinforcement and checks are set in the structural design. The structural analysis figures are indicative.
