Tiivistelmä
This thesis was made for Northern Capital Gateway LLC, which is an operator and the developer of Pulkovo airport in Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation. The project of the new terminal’s roof superstructure was made twice in Great Britain and Russia. The purpose of the research was to compare design methods in these countries. In addition, the task was to analyse the impact of Eurocode system and Russian National Codes on calculation and the final result.
The information was gathered at the airport from the drawings and by interviewing engineers, structural designers, and builders. Jochen Herter, passenger terminal project manager, commissioned the work.
The final result of this thesis shows which calculation gets bigger bearing capacity and why. Based on the findings it is easy to check the capacity of the structure and verify the roof’s reliability. Further study is required just to make independent calculation and prove economical estimation of the materials usage.
