Fassaden‐ und Dachkonstruktionen für ein Kernkraftwerk

Für den Neubau eines Kernkraftwerkes mussten bei den Fassaden‐ und Dachkonstruktionen verschiedene besondere technische Aufgabenstellungen bewältigt werden. Diese sind zum einen in den lokalen klimatischen Verhältnissen begründet, zum anderen wird mit dem Neubau eines Kernkraftwerkes ein besonderer Anspruch hinsichtlich Betriebssicherheit verbunden. Die statisch‐konstruktiven Beanspruchungen, die Anforderungen aus der Bauphysik sowie die Montagebedingungen erforderten die Weiterentwicklung etablierter Fassadenaufbauten und deren Prüfung in Laboren und Prüfinstituten vor Fertigungsbeginn. Thema des Aufsatzes ist die bereits weitgehend realisierte Gebäudehülle des nichtnuklearen, konventionellen Bereiches – dem “Turbine Island“. Züblin Stahlbau GmbH, Mitglied des IFBS und DStV, führte im Turbine Island neben den Fassadenarbeiten auch die Stahlbauarbeiten aus. Aus der Verbindung beider Gewerke wurden Synergien insbesondere in der Planung der Schnittstellen und der Verzahnung von Montageabläufen vor Ort gezogen. In Summe werden beim Turbine Island ca. 90000 m² Profilbleche verlegt und ca. 4000 t Stahlkonstruktionen montiert. Facade and roof construction for a nuclear power plant. For the new building of a nuclear power plant, different special technical problems are to be handled with regard to the facade and roof constructions. On the one hand, these are caused by the local climatic conditions, while on the other hand a special demand with regard to operational safety is associated with the new building of a nuclear power plant. The static‐construction demands, the requirements from the construction physics and as well as the erection conditions required the further development of established façade structures and their testing in laboratories and testing institutes before production commencement. The already largely realized building envelope of the conventional area – the “Turbine Island” – is the subject of this paper. Züblin Stahlbau GmbH, an IFBS and DStV member, also implemented the steel construction works in the Turbine Island, as well as the facade work. Synergies were generated from the combination of both trade sectors, in particular in the planning of the interfaces and the intermeshing of assembly process sequences on site. In sum, with the Turbine Island, approx. 90000 m² profiled sheet metal units are laid and approx. 4000 tons steel structures mounted.     

Das städtische Mikroklima: Analyse für die Stadt‐ und Gebäudeplanung

In the face of global warming, human thermal comfort has become an increasing important aspect in applied urban planning. As the urban heat island is not a homogenous factor the microclimate conditions play an important role also for single buildings and the situation inside. For a better consideration of this aspect in the planning process, qualitative and especially quantitative assessment tools are required. To get a better knowledge about the quantitative dimension of urban climates investigations on thermal comfort in outdoor and indoor spaces are carried out in selected city quarters in the city of Kassel in Germany. These studies consist of experimental investigations including field interviews about usage of urban open spaces and thermal sensation and numerical simulations on thermal comfort under recent as well as future regional climate conditions. The added‐value of the interdisciplinary research project is based on the correlation of findings from human‐biometeorology with the outcomes from sociologic questionnaires and building physics, which will be used to plan and design structures in a high spatial resolution. The thermal conditions outside continue inside the building, a combination of internal and external climate considerations must be made. The aim of a research at the University of Kassel is the examination and presentation of different microclimate and its influence on the thermal behavior of buildings.
