Case Study: Bilbao Exhibition Centre, Spain


BEC is the new Exhibition Centre in Bilbao, Spain. The exhibition centre has a floor area of 117 000 square metres, in 6 halls. The halls have no internal columns or supports, thanks to steel lattice girders in the roof. The investment was 420 million euros and the centre was constructed between 2001 and 2004.

In addition facilities such us: underground car park, offices, atrium and restaurants. BEC is surrounded by means of a steel skin to prevent an aggressive impact of the building with the surrounding landscape. 24 300 tonnes of steel for the structure of the halls and 19 200 tons of corrugated steel in the foundations. September 2001- April 2004: Construction time. Investment: 420 millions of Euros BEC is an initiative designed to offer the best possible service for exhibitors, visitors and the general public in a modern, convenient, practical and highly functional trade fair facility.

Design loads

The loads are specified by the National Standard NBE-AE-88 Acciones en Edificacin. The magnitude of loads depends on the use intended for each area: Car parks: 400 kg/m Lorries accesses: 4000 kg/m (national regulation: 1000 kg/m) Hall areas: 4000 kg/m Pedestrian zones and accesses: 400 kg/m Office areas: 300 kg/m Restaurants: 300 kg/m Roof (only for maintenance purposes): 100 kg/m These loads are supported in the different areas with the following structural elements: Car park and Lorries accesses and hall floors The columns and beams of the car park are made of reinforced concrete and the floors consist of on-site reinforce concrete slab. In addition, there are floor made of prefabricated concrete hollow core slabs with a compression layer of concrete.

Hall structure The roof structure is based on lattice girders with spans that vary from 125 to167 m and with a depth about 8 m. The girders are box trusses girders of hot rolled sections with welded joints. The girders are supported at a maximum 18 m from the ground level on perimeter reinforced concrete columns. Finally, the surface between the girders is covered by means of 60 panels (37 x 37 m2) of tubular spatial structure, see Figure 2.2.

Fire Safety concept

The national standard in Spain for fire protection is the NBE-CPI-96: Condiciones de Proteccin Contra Incendios. The NBE CPI-96 is based on a prescriptive approach but the characteristics of the structure of the BEC allow an alternative study to avoid the severe prescriptive requirements for roofs passive fire protections thanks to Low fire load Good ventilation Large diaphanous spaces with high thermal dissipation Presence of active protection measures (automatic sprinklers) These characteristics were essential to carry out an alternative study based on the philosophy of the performance based design and Fire Safety Engineering for the Determination whether a lower protection than specified in the prescriptive regulation gives the same level of safety to the users.

An additional objective of this alternative study was to verify the smoke control to allow the safe evacuation of the building. The final conclusions of this study were: The smoke curtains and smoke vents allow the correct extraction of smoke and the safe evacuation of the building. The roof truss girders do not need any passive protection because their structural stability was not threatened by the fire scenario studied. Other studies were carried out in special areas: The columns in the restaurant area and the lattice girders remained unprotected. On the other hand, in the Arena Hall, the beams supporting the surrounding mezzanine and the parts of the box trusses beams just over the mezzanine exposed to the studied fire scenario had to remain protected with passive measures.
