Hallenstruktur

Hallenstruktur refers to the structural system used in the construction of large, open-span buildings such as warehouses, factories, and exhibition halls. These structures are designed to create vast interior spaces free from internal columns or walls, allowing for maximum flexibility in their use. The primary components of a Hallenstruktur are typically a framework of steel or reinforced concrete beams and columns, often arranged in a grid or truss system. These elements work together to transfer the loads from the roof and any superimposed weight down to the foundations. Common types of roof structures employed in Hallenstruktur include portal frames, space frames, and shell structures, each offering different advantages in terms of spanning capability and material efficiency. The design of a Hallenstruktur must consider factors such as wind loads, snow loads, seismic activity, and the specific functional requirements of the building. The efficient use of materials and the ability to achieve large clear spans are key characteristics of this type of construction. Modern Hallenstruktur often incorporates advanced engineering techniques and materials to optimize performance and cost-effectiveness.
