• Abstract:

  The rebuilt congress hall in Berlin-Tiergarten is composed of two separate shell roofs: the completely new outer, prestressed lightweight-concrete shell giving the architectural shape, and the inner roof bedded upon the present walls of the auditorium. This inner roof was concreted directly upon the old roof in order to carry its weight after hardening. Because of the considerably large measured imperfections, a possible loss of stability of the inner shell roof had to be taken into consideration. In German.
