DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF TILTED WALLS IN ACCORDANCE WITH CODES' PROVISIONS ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MUSEUM OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR IN GDAŃSK

Abstract

The purpose of this article was to introduce the design and construction of tiled walls in accordance to codes' restrictions. The construction of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk was chosen to be an example of its successful use in practice. Theoretical knowledge was based on PN-EN 1992-1-1:2008 and fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010. Although codes' recommendations seem curt, practice prove structural advance. Working as a site engineer, one of the Authors had an inside view on the construction of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk. Museum’s architectural plan has been described as "a new symbol of Gdańsk", "a new icon" or a "sculptural design". Among many challenges the most spectacular, subjectively, was the construction of tilted walls. Authors took a try to analyse what were the design and construction problems and to what extent could they be solved with codes' help. Both designing and building process was taken into consideration.
