Abstract
This paper describes how Super-Light structures can be used as a structural principle for the buildings in the project ‘The Battery’ designed by Bjarke Ingels Group. The overall structural concept is described and the advantages of using super-light slabs for the project are explored. Especially the cantilevered internal corridors are investigated.
Super-Light Structures is a newly patented structural concrete concept. Slabs based on the concept are the first structural element developed under the patent. The slabs called SL-decks have multiple advantages compared to traditional hollow core slabs. The paper aims to describe the concept of how the deck can be used in these innovative buildings and how the special advantages of the SL-decks are applied.
