COLUMNS REMOVAL IN PASEO DE LA CASTELLANA 35, BUILDING IN MADRID

Project details

Technical Data

Description

The elimination of 3 aligned columns, at the first floor of the building on Calle Castellana 35, has the aim of creating an open space in the Facebook offices in Madrid.

Proposed solution is based on columns replacement by pairs of lateral steel beams, which transfer these loads to the adjacent supports.

To minimize the risk of cracking in the upper floors of the building, it is convenient to perform an active load transfer using hydraulic jacks.
