Initial situation |
| |
Due to poor subsoil conditions this project was already designed with a weight reducing system. Compared to cobiax, the planned system didn’t accommodate the same advantages and so the civil engineer would change to cobiax instead. |
| |
| |
Solution |
| |
The weight reduction leads to considerable advantages, especially in view of the structural loads which don’t have to be directed in the ground anymore. This results in considerable savings for foundation works and the structure as a whole becomes slimmer. |
| |
| |
Summary |
| |
It is only thanks to the reduction of dead load whilst still maintaining all the same static characteristics that the project could be realised and meet the requirements of the planner and most of all serve the investor. The sustainability of the project was considerably increased and the life cycle cost of the property for the long run could be optimised. |
