M.H.G.A Meulendijks PMSE i, Samenvatting; Constructief ontwerp hoogbouw Deel 1; Literatuurstudie De verschillende aspecten die komen kijken bij het ontwerp van een hoogbouwconstructie, maakt dat de afweging tussen verschillende constructieprincipes lastig is. Meestal wordt in het voorontwerp wel een afweging meegenomen, maar hier wordt niet erg diep op ingegaan. Het doel van dit onderzoek is om achter de belangrijkste beweegredenen te komen voor de keuze van het constructiemateriaal en –principe bij een bepaald ontwerp. Verschillende toepassingen zijn geschikt, maar hebben zo hun voor- en nadelen. Deze voor- en nadelen zijn vaak gebouwspecifiek en komen voort uit de technische en esthetische eisen voor het gebouw. De vraag die met dit onderzoek beantwoord wordt is: Wat zijn de belangrijkste aandachtspunten bij het constructieve ontwerp van hoogbouw in Nederland en hoe kunnen deze aandachtspunten gebruikt worden om de keuze tussen constructiematerialen en draagprincipes beter en sneller te verantwoorden? In dit onderzoek zijn ten eerste verschillende hoogbouwprojecten in Nederland constructief onderzocht. Aan de hand van deze voorbeeldprojecten worden per gebouw de voornaamste constructieve voor- en nadelen op een rijtje gezet. Vervolgens worden een aantal veel voorkomende aspecten van hoogbouwprojecten in Nederland op een rijtje gezet. Door deze aspecten terug te koppelen aan de voorbeeldprojecten, kan onderzocht worden welke invloed deze aspecten hebben op de keuze van het constructiemateriaal en het draagprincipe. De onderzochte ontwerpaspecten zijn: Flexibiliteit in de gevel, flexibiliteit in de vloerindeling, het eigen gewicht van de constructie, eventuele uitkragingen en gevelsprongen in het ontwerp, de grote van de bouwplaats, de bouwtijd, de aanvullende eisen voor brandveiligheid, de aanvullende eisen voor geluidswering en de voorbereidingstijd. De invloed van deze aspecten op het constructieprincipe, worden in beeld gebracht. Het product daarvan is een matrix waarin de behandelde constructieprincipes en de belangrijke aspecten tegen elkaar uitgezet worden. Door het invullen van wegingsfactoren per aspect, komt de beste draagstructuur naar voren met betrekking tot de technische en esthetische eisen van het gebouw. Dit product is te gebruiken als ontwerphulpmiddel voor de architect of voor een snelle afweging voor de constructeur. Deel 2; casus Dit deel bevat een alternatief constructief ontwerp van een bestaand hoogbouwproject. De opgedane kennis uit de literatuurstudie kan worden gebruikt, om de invloed van de criteria toe te passen en tot een goed constructief ontwerp te komen. Het ontwerp is op twee manieren uitgewerkt op de belangrijkste constructieve knelpunten. Beide ontwerpen worden teruggekoppeld naar het bestaande gebouw, de matrix en de literatuurstudie. Uiteindelijk wordt het ontwerpproces en de uitkomsten van de ingevulde matrix naast elkaar gelegd. De uitkomsten uit de ingevulde matrix en de gemaakte varianten zijn hetzelfde. De conclusie is dat de matrix goed werkt om het ontwerpproces te versnellen. Constructief ontwerp hoogbouw Bart de Groot & Linda Keeris 2 ii, Summary; The structural design of high rise buildings in the Netherlands Part 1; literature study The important aspects for the design of a high rise building in the Netherlands, makes the consideration of different structural principles difficult. Mostly a consideration is made in the preliminary design but it is not really thorough. The goal of this study is to find the most important reasons of choosing a construction material and structural principle. A lot of constructions are useable, but have their pros and cons. These pros and cons are mostly specific for the building and come from the technical and esthetic demands for the building. The answered question in this research is: What are the most important points of interest when designing a high rise construction in the Netherlands and how can these points be used to improve the decision making for the construction materials and structural principles? This research contains analysis of the construction of some high rise projects in the Netherlands. With these results, the pros and cons of the structural principles can be used to see what is important for which building. With the projects analyzed, a list is made of frequent criteria that have an influence on the decisions that were made during the design process of the construction. These criteria are put together with the structural principles and are given a value, so it’s possible to see which structural principle is good at what aspects. The design aspects are: Flexibility of the façade, flexibility of the floor plan, the weight of the construction, cantilevers or setbacks in the façade, the size of the construction site, the construction time, the additional demands for fire safety, the additional demands for sound insulation and the preparation time before actual construction. With these values in order, a matrix has been made to quickly choose a structural principle that is best for the design of a building. By filling in variables, which show importance to all the criteria, you can see which structural design is most ideal. An architect can use this tool to see which structural design fits best with his vision. Also a structural engineer can use the tool to quickly see which design doesn’t work and which does. Part 2; Case study This part of the research contains a structural design of a high rise building in the Netherlands. The found influences of the aspects in the literature study are used to make this design. Two different designs are worked out to a definitive design. The most important bottlenecks will be worked out to a definitive version to show that the designs are plausible. With these designs it’s possible to see if the literature study is correct and the matrix is working properly. The results from the matrix are equal to the result of the design process. This means that the matrix works properly for this project and is much faster and easier to use. Constructief ontwerp hoogbouw Bart de Groot & Linda Keeris 3 iii Inhoudsopgave 1.

Rinse Gorter, 10 juli 2008 3 -3- Abstract This thesis, written in the finalizing stage of the master’s degree in Economic Geography at the RijksUniversiteit Groningen, is about high-rise buildings in the Netherlands. The title ‘Hoogbouw in de Ruimte’ would literally be translated in English as ‘High-rise buildings in Space’ but (because mankind is still not able to build on the moon) should be read as ‘high- rise buildings and their environment’. High-rise buildings in the Netherlands are starting to play an increased role in Dutch municipal policy. Because of the lack in national high rise building policy, most of the major cities have developed their own policy on skyscrapers. When we look at the history of the skyscraper in the Netherlands, there has been a shift from public development before the 1980’s to private development after 1990.

Koopman Rationalising the Structural Material Choice Process for High Rise Buildings in the Netherlands E. (Esmee) M.R. Koopman – 4730593 [email protected] [email protected] Master Civil Engineering: Building Engineering – Structural Design Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands Company: Arcadis, Rotterdam Period: October 2019 – June 2020 Defence: 10th of July, 2020 Graduation committee: ir. J.G. Rots, ir. R. Crielaard, ing. P. De Jong, ing. Tom Borst 2 Abstract De Randstad is popular place to work and live. The amount of residents will continue to grow and because of that, the housing demand increases the coming years. To accommodate the city growth in a small country as the Netherlands is, the municipalities of de cities in De Randstad turn to high rise buildings. The floor plan of a high rise building gets repeated on every floor and because of that, the design decisions that are part of this repetition are important. The structural material choice is one of these repeated design decisions and thus important. The structural material choice is also important, because it is linked to all the disciplines on the design team and factors like cost and sustainability. Currently 64% of the high rise buildings in the world have only reinforced concrete as structural material. Of the buildings in the Netherlands above 120 m, 86% have only reinforced concrete as structural material. This raises the question if the preference in the Netherlands for concrete comes from a clear decision-making process or if it originates elsewhere? In theory this decision-making process follows an organized cycle called the Basic design cycle.

    FRANK VAN DER HOEVEN, STEFFEN NIJHUIS HI RISE! I CAN SEE YOU PLANNING AND VISIBILITY ASSESSMENT OF HIGH BUILDING DEVELOPMENT IN ROTTERDAM 12.1 INTRODUCTION Western European cities like London, Paris, Rotterdam and Frankfurt am Main have seen im- pressive high building developments over the past two decades. This has led them to develop policies for regulating the planning and construction of tall buildings, high-rise buildings and skyscrapers within their territory. So far, these high building developments and policies have received little attention from the academic community. This chapter elaborates a framework for analysing high building development and the visual impact of high buildings on the surround- ing landscape with the city of Rotterdam as a Western European showcase. It presents a system- atic approach for analysing high building development in terms of architectural height, year of completion, location and functional use, for use in the comparison of existing buildings with the urban policies that are in place. Comprehensive GISc-based viewsheds were used to analyse the visibility of the high buildings, factoring in both meteorological circumstances and the vertical area of the buildings. The showcase city of Rotterdam demonstrates that a considerable distance exists between the vision and reality. The city struggles to deliver a consistent and integrated policy for high-building urban areas, while the high building developments themselves seem to be ruled by a remarkable internal logic that is not fully recognised in policymaking. The impact of tall buildings, high-rises and skyscrapers on neighbourhoods, urban districts and cities is widely acknowledged by architects, urban planners, politicians and developers all 277 over the world.

Rob Nijsse TU Delft Daily supervisor: Assist. Prof. dr. ir. W.H. van der Spoel TU Delft Co-supervisor: Dr. ir. P.J.W. van den Engel TU Delft An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/ 3 4 Abstract The sustainability of high-rise buildings is always a point of debate and doubt in current research and literature. Several studies have been performed about the zero-energy potential for skyscrapers, however taking into consideration single functions, particularly office and housing buildings. Realistic and modern tall building design however always involves a combination of uses (offices, accommodation, commercial and retail) for the project to be economically viable. On the basis of the Trias Energetica, the primary goal of the early design for sustainable buildings must be to minimize the demand for energy (heating, cooling, hot water, electricity) by means of active or passive techniques. This translates into design guidelines for the shape, orientation, building envelope and climate properties, parameters that have been already widely investigated by researchers and designers in practice.
