Concrete core activation: The offices of "Der Spiegel" in Hamburg

Horizontal and vertical load transmission is shared between a central concrete core and the steel diagrid frame.

The core concrete floor 72 Shard emerged in early 2011, standing at 245 meters.

Horizontal and vertical load transmission is shared between a central concrete core and the steel diagrid frame.

A key factor to the efficiency of the core was the use of outrigger walls at discrete levels to link the central concrete core to perimeter columns.

The building, constructed of steel, glass and reinforced concrete, is divided into nine rotating cube whose main structural element is a core made of reinforced concrete, from 10.6 meters in diameter (by way of vertebral column).

Due to be 56 metres high when complete, the tower is formed of a concrete core with a steel frame.

The ACB® beams between the external structure and the concrete core support the Cofraplus®60 floor deck.

On a concrete core, on a metallic structure, Techniwood offers refurbishment façades through the supply and installation of curtain walls.

The tower is braced 70% by its concrete core and 30% by the structure of the steel porticos on its façade.

The design employs a core of concrete serving as the main support and as the only means of load transfer the foundation.

The pipe systems integrated in the room surfaces utilise the concrete core in the building mass to exchange thermal energy.
