Development of a sustainable structural concept for the Maun Science Park
Thesis
Full-text available
  • Jan 2021
In Maun, Botswana, a self-sufficient, sustainable and future-oriented district will be created, the Maun Science Park. Within this project, several 5-8 storey smart homes shall be built in sustainable construction. The aim of this thesis is to develop a sustainable structural concept for those homes of the Maun Science Park. In a first step, the ge...

Context 1
... structure must resist these lateral loads without losing its vertical load-carrying capability. Figure 2 shows the main effects due to increased horizontal loads: bending, overturning, shearing and torsion. As a result, the load bearing structure of a tall building is determined by the horizontal loads with growing height. ...
Context 2
... order, to prevent complicated cantilevering of the slabs, pendulum columns support the vertical load transfer. Figure 21 shows the static system, while Figure 22 shows a sketch for rendering. After the concrete core has been built, the floors with pendulum columns and beams can be constructed in segments. ...
Context 3
... are applied to the corresponding axis using the axis distance and the building width. The static system is presented in Figure 26. As in Design 1, the preliminary design is based on simplified assumptions, so the components are not fully utilized. ...
Context 4
... order to support the vertical load transfer, four additional pendulum columns are placed in the middle of the building as supports for the beams. In Figure 29 the static system can be seen while Figure 30 shows a visualization. ...
