New head office and research centre for the pharmaceutical company Ferring, which stands out as a landmark and identification point in Ørestad City. The total floor area is about 22,000 m², including about 6,000 m² basement, about 11,000 m² office and a laboratory building with two-storey underground car park and service basement. The building is divided into two parts. A three-storey laboratory section, grouped around two green courtyards, and an administration section in the 20-storey high tower with an exquisite view of Copenhagen and Sweden. The two shapes meet in surrounding an open entrance level and a large canteen that faces the nearby metro station. The facades are constructed of glass and horizontal black enamelled metal lamellas. It is a wonderful addition to the Copenhagen skyline, the highest building erected in Denmark using steel as its bearing construction.
Overview
The Ferring International Centre comprises two buildings both built on a two storey reinforced concrete basement sub-structure. A three storey low-level building houses research laboratories, and an 80m tall, twenty storey tower provides office accommodation. Loads from the braced steel frame of the tower are transferred via sixteen main columns and anchored into the concrete basement using holding-down bolts. Maximum tensile and compressive reactions of 3,300 and 11,300 kN, respectively are accommodated.
The tower basement consists of cast in-situ reinforced concrete walls of 350mm thickness externally and 500mm thickness internally. Precast concrete units are also used. The basement houses technical installations, provides changing rooms for the employees and also functions as a safety shelter. Because of this, the modelling is complicated due to the large number of openings in the walls that are required to accommodate the multi-functional use of the structure.
Modelling
Using LUSAS Civil & Structural, Moe & Brødsgaard’s engineers created a 3D model of the basement structure using thick shell elements to model the concrete walls and slabs. Tower loadings due to dead and wind loads were applied and linear elastic forces and plots of stress distribution in the basement were obtained. The results were used to verify the structural capacity and compliance of the design with Danish codes of practice.
