Shopping mall

The shopping mall is a one-storey, rectangular building with dimensions 167,9х95,0m. The calculation of the object has been carried out in Dlubal Rfem 5, according to the Eurocode. The object has been modelled in AutoDESK Revit. The structural diagram of the building is represented by the full-scale frame consisted of precast reinforced concrete columns and a slab made of roof trusses and metal eaves girders. The bottom of the eaves girders is +7,600. The foundations are pier and strip foundations based on the driven piles.
The building provides for a 2-storey office part, the slab of which is made from the cast-in-situ concrete.

Technical solutions

The challenge was to observe the customer’s requirement not to use expansion joints in the frame of the building. The task has become more complicated by the presence of the confined groundwater along with the peat formation on the construction site.
