Passeio das Águas Shopping Center

- Passeio das Águas Shopping Centre in Goiânia, Brazil, takes up an area of ​​100,000 m2. This is a building about 500 m long, with one raised storey, a superstructure in reinforced concrete and metal roof.
Considering its floor plan and great regularity, there was a great emphasis on the need to design a structural solution that would take advantage of this aspect, allowing the application of simple construction processes and a fast pace of execution. The columns follow a regular 8x8 m grid across most of the building area, and support a 64 m2 slab that was precast on site and hoisted directly to the top of the columns. It is a ribbed slab with a 7 cm thick topping slab and 45 cm high internal ribs, evenly spaced at 1.6 m. The 60 cm high beams at the slab edges, in both directions, were cast on site. This is the only element of connection between slab panels, giving them the necessary overall behaviour.
The roof of this building is based on a metal truss system with a 1.2 m framework (height and width) and 24 m long spans.

- Development of the design of concrete and metal structures and sanitary installations.
