ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: For the full refurbishment of the AK office building in the center of Innsbruck some new technologies of MBT have been applied very successfully such as slim floors with semi-continuous beam-to-column moment connections and local load introduction from the slabs into the steel-concrete hollow columns by powder actuated nails. During construction work the offices in the upper stories were normally used. The final result with considerable gain of space and improved architectural appearance without soil settling or cracks worth mentioning was highly appreciated by the client.
