| Abstract: |
The University of Würzburg is situated in the beautiful and hilly German town of Würzburg. In the library there is a skylight with a very special architecture, the so called "Grabenoberlicht". Due to broken glass panes there were more and more problems in the past years to make the roof watertight. Furthermore thermal bridges occurred. To meet the actual requirements another issue was to reduce the CO2-emission. Therefore a new roof is necessary without thermal bridges to mach the actual requirements for safety, energy reduction and to improve the comfort for the users with maximum natural lightning. In this paper the problems of static analysis, design, reinforcement of the construction and pictures of the renovated building are presented. |
