Residential building isolation with spring elements
In the city of Sceaux, one of the most prestigious cities in the Paris neighbourghood with high standard appartements, the park and castle of Sceaux Anthony Béchu & Associés architects designed a new exclusive collection of apartments with exceptional views.
Challenge
In a living environment close to the city center at the foot of the Coulée Verte, 64 apartments and premium service will be established meeting highest quality and living standards. In such a residential location with a direct connection to public transport, it is particularly important to protect residents from rail traffic vibrations. The goal was to provide isolation from the vibration induced by the traffic of the underground high speed train TGV.
Solution
In order to achieve the highest degree of vibration isolation caused by TGV trains, to comply with acoustic standards and to guarantee the highest degree of comfort inside the residential building, GERB provided the building design team and the construction company with its new SU-P series of spring elements. The new SU-P series is designed to support more load per unit and thus use fewer spring elements, guaranteeing maximum isolation with its vertical frequency of 2.8 Hz. By using GERB SU-P spring elements an optimum compromise between cost and the degree of isolation is achieved.
Technical Facts:
Structure: 2 Buildings each 7 floors
Vibration source: TGV – underground high speed train
Base isolation frequency: 2.8 Hz
Design load: 16,450 t
Completion: (planned): 2023
Implementation
GERB delivered prestressed SUP elements as well as special GP elements for small loads in order to obtain 31mm deflexion under nominal load. The building was isolated between the car park level and ground floor.
In a joint collaboration with the architectural firm Anthony Béchu & Associés, the acoustic consultant AVEL, the structural consultant TERRELL and the prestigious construction company Les Maçons Parisiens. GERB provided engineering studies, manufacturing and supply of spring elements as well as supervision of the installation to successfully meet the challenge of the construction of a residential building near the TGV tracks.
