29 Column design, WSD planning High stiffness contributes to overall building stiffness Composite columns

30 Advantages mainly pressure loaded element high strength and ductility fire-resistant element comparatively small cross-sectional dimensions more leasable area more transparency low manufacturing tolerances due to steel elements low labor cost pre-fabricated elements (faster erection) no formwork required for concrete sustainable material (steel recycling, less concrete/cement) Notes Arrangement of steel plates/steel inlays flexible Composite columns

31 Column Schedule

32 Various high-rise buildings worldwide have been executed with composite columns. Testing machine 10,000 kn Source: Spannverband Composite columns

46 Sustainability

47 Sustainability concept The Al Wasl Tower goes beyond the purely reduction of the energy demand, extending the sustainability to all aspects related to the building and in particular focusing on the human needs. Energy Concept Facade Design Comfortable Indoor Optimal light Renewable energies Local materials Comfortable Outdoor Water management Less Materials Smart regulation Biosphere E-Mobility

48 Energy concept Scope Reduce the CO 2 emission of the building through an efficient supply integrating active and passive measures as well as renewable energies.

49 Facade Design Scope Reduction of the energy demand through a climate adapted facade design.

50 Facade Design Study on the solid/transparent ratio and shading elements of the facade Orientation: SE/SW 85% glazing (baseline) Reduced glazing 60% Inclined fins Vertical fins Vertical and horiz. fins

51 Facade Design Study on the solid/transparent ratio and shading elements of the facade Orientation: NE/NW 85% glazing (baseline) Reduced glazing 60% Inclined fins Vertical fins Vertical and horiz. fins

63 Energy concept Indoor Comfort Interaction light and energy Cooling load Investigation of yearly cooling energy demand in conjunction to the variation of the glazing

64 Energy concept Indoor Comfort Interaction light and energy Cooling load 4% reduction corresponds to savings of 10,333 kwh per floor and year. Saving 3,500 kwh/a * of electricity per floor which (= is a 4 Person household in Germany) Saving of 1.6 t CO 2-equi per floor 130 beech ** would be needed to counterbalance 1.6t CO 2-equ * According to the International Energy Agency a typcial SEER for air conditioning systems (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) in Middle East is 3 ** Each year a beech take up 12,5kg CO 2-equ, source co2online

65 Renewable energies Scope Reduce the Global Warming Potential through the use of clean energy produced on site. Studies of the integration of renewable energies Solar potential for PV integration on the rooftop a. b. a. Simulation model b. Solar radiation simulation c. PV layout c. 100% energy supply for the outdoor lighting + ca. 4 Tesla electric cars

66 Local materials Scope Improve the health of the users and preserve natural resource through sustainable materials. Study on the availability of certified material within a 500 km radium from Dubai
