New Terminal T1 extension for the Fiumicino Airport

Final detailed design of the metal structure.

Category: Public buildings
Services: Final detailed design
Period: December 2018 – May 2019
Client: MBM

The building has a steel frame structure stiffened by metal bracings; it has two main floors at an elevation of +6.55 and +11.04, covering an area of approximately 11,000 square meters, and other secondary floors at an altitude of +14m and is structurally independent of the adjacent existing buildings.

The framework of the floor consists of I-section profiles (rolled or welded) in mixed section with main beams connected to the posts and secondary beams resting on the main ones. The columns are made of hollow circular profiles and some of them continue up to the height of the “MERO” type roof representing its supports.

The columns are made of hollow circular profiles and some of them continue up to the height of the “MERO” type roof representing its supports.

The typical grid of columns has an average size of 12 x 12 m with secondary beams at a distance of 2.5 to 3.5 m. The slab is made of corrugated metal sheet 75 mm high and finished by casting for a total thickness of 150 mm. Particular attention was paid to the dynamic comfort of the decks for crowd loading and to the design of the perforated beams for the passage of plants (H1000 beams with H650 holes). The elevator structures, the metal staircases and the load-bearing structures of the facades were also designed.

The structure was completely assembled in the workshop and transported to the site by means of semi-truck intended for the transport of logs using the central column equipped with appropriate extensions placed on special temporary saddles. The column was then cut at the foot of the structure and assembled using a telescopic crane.

Starting from the first bridge above ground, the perimeter columns and beams of the bridge are made of steel characterized by a simple and functional structure. The floor is made of prefabricated hollow core slabs with finishing casting resting on the lower flange of the beams or on the core by means of anchored angular sections.

The floor is made of prefabricated hollow core slabs with finishing casting resting on the lower flange of the beams or on the core by means of anchored angular sections.

The cores were constructed using self-elevating formwork; it followed, with a “delay” of 3 floors, the assembly of the metal structures corresponding to a segment of columns. The hollow core slabs were then laid and the finishing casting was poured.

The piers and supporting abutments of the viaduct have shallow foundations, in consideration of the good mechanical characteristics of the surface soil. In elevation, the pies have a rectangular section shaft with rounded heads with a rectangular section pier cap of variable height. The abutments are of the traditional type with wing walls to contain the road embankment.
