Illustration of the structure of the approx. 147 m high multistoried building (3 basements and 38 upper floors) as a complex spatial and universal computer model with approx. 55000 elements for computation of the complex interaction of all construction units inclusive building ground as well as various (even nonlinear and time-dependent) effects.
For example the redistribution of stress due to plasticity and creep at the highly stressed corners of the main supporting tube was examined under consideration of the deformation of the very thick foundation slab.
Furthermore the temporal progress of the construction with consideration of creep effects was simulated as well as the effect of a failure of certain supports in the case of emergency (e.g. impact of an airplane).
