Staircases in Aarhus

A recent example of slender elements in CRC are the staircases and walkway bridges in the entrance hall of the new department of welfare and social services in Aarhus. The staircases are cast with a central beam and at the outer edge the steps have a thickness of 35 mm. 

 

The walkways combine CRC slabs and a conventional prestressed beam. The slabs and the beam are joined with CRC JointCast. The staircases and the walkways were produced by Beton-Tegl, Støvring and architects were Nielsen, Nielsen & Nielsen, Aarhus. NCC were in charge of the project.
