Fig. 3: Kassel Wilhelmshdhe railway station [ Brandt & Bdttcher, Berlin; Peter Schuck, Kassel ] Fully Engineered The columns can be designed to resist most combinations of bending moment, wind force, shear stress and gravity loads arising from the building structure. As the spun columns can accommodate both prestressed and normal reinforcement arrangements the column can be engineered to produce the slimmest column section for any given loading...

Beautifully Finished Spun columns will always produce a dense, hardwearing, smooth exterior concrete finish due to the careful blend of the constituent materials, the low water cement ratio and compaction of materials as it is centrifuged. Choice of colour, surface texture and tone can be tailored to compliment the character of the building or make a visual impact. Light-fast inorganic pig­ ments that are chemically stable are used in the pigmented colour mixes. Bright, intense colours may be achieved with white concrete mixes while more earth tinted colours are produced using grey cements. Karstadt...

Elegantly Slender By prestressing the columns the con­ crete is put into compression, and this enhances its robustness and stabil­ ity, making it possible to manufacture very slender column sections. Techniques to manufacture columns with angled base plates, enables spun columns to be built with a splay or at a slanted alignment, offer­ ing innovative and imaginative column arrangements to frames and floors. The hollow column shell created by the spun concrete process not only reduces the weight of the columns, it also offers a hidden conduit for ser­ vices and for rainwater disposal. Centre...
