The logistic and warehouse center SONY NILE, Nitra2008

This is a hall with ground plan dimensions 258 x 165 m. It consists of two objects – a production and administrative building. The support construction is made of fork shaped columns carrying lengthwise placed trusses, which carry crosswise placed binders. Base sandwich panels are located throughout the perimeter of the hall and loading ramps with bridges are located on the southwest side. A hall that on the level of its roof has other roof elements is located on the northwest and southeast side. The vertical support constructions consist of columns with the dimensions 0.4 x 0.4 m. They are located in the administrative and production parts where the light height of the object is 11.77 m. The columns are mounted in monolithic bells that are placed on the column heads. The horizontal support constructions form prestressed trusses, which have a cross section in the shape of the letter "I" with a span of approx. 22 m. Prestressed trapezoidal binders (with a 0.5 or 0.6 cross section) are placed on the trusses in a span of 5.5 m. Because of its large ground plan dimensions, the construction is dilated in the center in both directions (lengthwise and crosswise).
