Country determination
I.I Introduction
This thesis research is focussing on the local geographical, weather, social and building conditions around the
globe. Around the globe 195 different countries exist. These countries are shown in figure I.I, the well-known
world. In order to get reliable and sufficient information as input for the framework and on the other hand
reduce research time, first an investigation has been performed in order to select a handful of countries that
will cover the research scope.
Figure I.I: Countries around the globe [images-google, 2013]
To decrease the total amount to a handful of countries three steps are defined.
In the first step the global air traffic
development will be analysed.
Statistics of welfare and population
growth per country will be used and
other aspects will be taken into
account to predict the highest demand
of air traffic per country in the nearby
future. After this step the majority of
countries will be disregarded.
The second step is orientated on the
local geographical and weather
conditions of the already chosen
countries and the last phase is taking
into account the international offices
of Royal HaskoningDHV.
Input: 195 countries

I.II Phase 1: Air traffic development
I.II.I Welfare per country
One of the aspects is the influence of welfare of the chosen countries. Welfare is described as the economic
and social development of a country which can be expressed in terms of individuals and the society as a whole.
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is an indicator of the economic welfare and on basis of these values
economic growth can be predicted. The GDP reflects the economic situation of the whole country and to be
able to make comparisons between different countries the GDP has to be expressed in current U.S. dollars per
person. These data are given by the International Monetary Fund, [IMF, 2013]. More extended files are
presented in section I.VI.I.

Table I.I gives an overview of the top 10 countries with the highest GDP growth in millions for the upcoming 5
years. Like expected the largest economies of the world are presented in this table, but keep in mind that these
countries don’t has to be necessarily the richest countries. This can be explained with the comparison between
table I.I and table I.II. Table I.II represents the GDP growth in dollars per person per country. This data is
derived by first converting GDP in national currency to U.S. dollars and then dividing it by the total population.
The main reason of the difference between the two tables is the total amount of people per country. Table I.I
represents countries with a high amount of inhabitants and the opposite counts for table I.II. Note that the
United States is the only country listed in both tables.

MSc Thesis research report
FEASIBILITY STUDY OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWERS AROUND THE GLOBE
The air traffic control tower does not fall under the legislations of the associated airport [ICAO]. The
responsibilities of these towers are allocated to the ministry of transport, or in case of The Netherlands to
Rijkswaterstaat. Each ministry has got his own organization to operate the towers. The air traffic control towers
can therefore be seen as public utility buildings. The design and construction of these buildings are funded by
the client; in this case the local governments. With this prospect the gross domestic growth of a country will be
taken as normative, because countries with a high GDP are able to invest more in public services.
With this in mind, it is interesting to gain more information about the GDP per country; next step is to
investigate the growth rate of the GDP per country. This rate gives information about countries that are
developing (relatively) fast. In table I.III the top 10 fastest growing countries in % are presented. It can be
concluded that these are all developing countries (third world countries), because their total GDP 2018 in
millions is very low compared with the countries from table I.I.

I.II.II Population growth per country
In this section the population growth per country will be analysed. Like already noticed in section I.II.I there is a
relation between a nation’s welfare and its population. Beside this economical point of view, the more
important aspect of a growing population of a nation is the coherent growth of air traffic demand. The
International Monetary Fund also registers the population growth. The top 10 of growing countries in absolute
value (annually) of the world are presented in table I.IV; more extended files are presented in section I.VI.II.

Next to the absolute value, it is also interesting to investigate the top 10 countries with the highest relative
percentage growth (annually). In table I.V these values are present. It is noticed that 7 countries are African and
the other 3 are located in the Middle East. An explanation for this geographical distribution could be the
characteristics of a developing country. In this case Qatar and Oman can be seen as an exception due to the
good economic welfare of these countries, therefore the large growth is explained caused by the expatriates.
In this research the absolute value of the population growth (table I.IV) is taken as normative. The growth
values of people per year are much higher and therefore more interesting in air traffic demand prospective.
I.II.III Conclusion Internal Monetary Fund
On basis of an objective methodology, conclusions will be made to predict the countries with the highest air
traffic demand in the future. To relate the Internal Monetary Fund figures to the potential air traffic growth per
country, three main parameters will be valued, compared and are explained below to assign their mutually
importance:
Parameter 1 – GDP growth in millions per country – Factor value 1.0
As stated in section I.II.I air traffic control towers are seen as public utility buildings and are funded by
governments. Therefore the influence of the GDP growth in millions per country is a known parameter
and has to be valued to be able making comparisons with the other parameters. However the level of
importance cannot be determined but the value can perform as a reference value. To make an
objective approach this value will be stated on 1.0, whereby the multiplied outcome will not be
changed and is exact as the input value. Next step is to investigate the other parameters and give
them values related to the reference value of 1.0. The value difference is stated on + and - 0.25 in
order to justify the unknown importance differences.
Parameter 2 – GDP Growth in % per country – Factor value 0.75
As already mentioned the GDP growth per country is an important value. When referring to table I.III it
can be seen that countries, with a high GDP growth in %, are mainly third world countries with a low
total GDP. In general the air traffic demand will be lower in these kinds of countries. Therefore the
factor value of parameter 2 can be predicted to be lower than as the reference value and is valued
0.75.

FEASIBILITY STUDY OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWERS AROUND THE GLOBE
Parameter 3 – Population growth per county in absolute value – Factor value 1.25
When the population of a country growths; the air traffic demand in that country can be expected to
become higher as well. Therefor the factor value of parameter 3 can be predicted to be higher than as
the reference value and valued 1.25. The expectation is explained with a small calculation below:
Take the demand to fly, expressed per person percentage, is constant during the next 5 years with a
value of 10 %. E.g. A country with 100.00 inhabitants, (100.000 x 0.1 =) 10.000 persons wants to fly.
Next take that the country’s population expand (reference to table I.III) this results in a netto increase
of e.g. 100.000 to 110.000 inhabitants. The total amount of people that want to fly will become
110.000 x 0.1 = 11.000 persons.
To make this comprehensive comparison, the top 50 countries of each parameter are listed together in one
main table. This table is shown on the next page in table I.VII. Next all the parameters are multiplied with their
weight factors.
After the calculation a summary of the top 30 is made and presented in table I.VI. China is the best scoring
country with a total score of 135. On basis of this table the reduction of countries will continue.

FEASIBILITY STUDY OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWERS AROUND THE GLOBE
I.II.IV Orders aircraft manufactures
In the world there are two major aircraft manufactures; Boeing and Airbus. Despite the economic crisis still a
lot of aircrafts are being ordered and built. In this section the orders of both manufactures are analysed and
gives an indication of the air traffic development per country. The orders are divided in continents and only the
orders higher than 50 aircrafts per airline are considered. All the orders of the French Airbus and American
Boeing aircraft are presented in section I.VII.
Table I.VIII gives a total overview of ordered aircrafts per country. It can be seen that the largest orders are in
the USA and the Asia-Pacific region. The least aircrafts are ordered in the African region. When a comparison is
made between table I.IV and table I.VIII, a high number of countries correspond. With this as a given it can be
concluded that the GDP index and people growth are in relation with the ordered aircrafts and furthermore the
air traffic development per country.

I.II.V Global sport events
During the last decades, increasing competitions between countries arise to host large sport events. Due to this
fierce competition, hosting countries promise the organizing committee to have the best facilities, also
regarding in the local infrastructure. Often airports are refurbished or extended; therefor it is also interesting
to investigate the future locations of these global events. In section I.VIII a total overview for the upcoming
sport events is presented. The already known locations and therefore useful countries are:

Phase 2: Geographical conditions
In the process of making a structural design of an air traffic control tower located around the globe, it is
important to take the two most important geographical and weather conditions into account. These conditions
are wind/hurricane and earthquake actions and in this section the topographic of these phenomena are
discussed.
I.III.I
Wind & Hurricanes
This phenomenon is caused by air that flows from areas with high air pressures to areas with low air pressures.
The closer these two areas are together, the higher the pressure difference and the stronger the winds. The
wind speed is not only depending on its location but also to the height. Due to friction the wind speed is in
general lower near the earth surface. More information about wind and hurricanes is given in chapter 3 “wind
engineering” in the literature report.
Everywhere around the world wind occurs, but at some areas this wind can get higher magnitudes and are
classified as hurricanes, cyclones and tropical storms. These storms are formed over warm oceans in the
summer and early fall and are intense low pressure areas that gets his energy by evaporation of warm water
from the ocean surface. The paths of these storms are presented in figure I.III.
Figure I.III: Hurricane paths around the world past 170 years [web, www.wired.com]
This figure shows that the hurricane areas are well bounded and it can be seen that the Philippines is located in
th
the middle of the marked area which caused the big disaster on the 8 of November 2013. This hurricane is the
heaviest storm that hit land with an average wind speed of 315 km/h and wind gusts of 380 km/h [www.ad.nl,
2013]. From figure I.III a quick country/area list is made and presented below to order hurricane affected
countries:

FEASIBILITY STUDY OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWERS AROUND THE GLOBE
Earthquakes
The second phenomenon is earthquake action. The thickness of the earth’s crust is perilously thin, compared
with the radius of the earth, and is floating on molten rock. Powered by vast amounts of thermal energy, large
forces are generated that are able to move the earth tectonic plates. In some places, tectonic plates slip
horizontally along each other, where at other places the plates are pushing against each other, where the
thinner plate bends and slides under. Due to the roughness at the edges of the plates, sliding is restrained. The
rock at the edges absorbs compression and shear strains until it suddenly ruptures. All the accumulated energy
releases in a sudden violent movement and an earthquake is born. More information about earthquakes is
given in chapter 4 “Earthquake engineering” in the literature report.
Figure I.IV: Global seismic hazard map [www.seismo.ethz.ch/static/gshap/]
Over the globe there are 7 primary tectonic plates and the global seismic hazard is given in figure I.IV. From
figure I.IV a quick country/area list is made and presented below to order earthquake affected countries.

Next step is to select the last six
countries. In order to get an overall
satisfying result, every country is
selected with one particular property.
E.g. Rich countries like Japan and the
Netherlands can be compared
regarding their building vision on
extreme weather conditions, or rich
versus poor.
Note that the wealth decision is
determined on the GDP in dollars per
person, this figure does not only
(roughly) indicate the total wealth
fare of the country, but also the
single human’s wealth and this is also
interesting regarding the societal
environment of that specific country.

III.I Schiphol Airport (I)
Details:
Location: Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Height tower: 110 meter
Operators: 8
Year: 1991
Location regarding airport: land-side
Extreme geographical weather conditions: none
Structural system: core system
Structural material: concrete
Construction method: Insitu, slip-forming
Source: Weersma, S., (1991)
Figure III.I Schiphol tower [Hartmann, J., 2013]
Function
The tower is divided into two sections, the tower cab and a
base building. The visual control room is located at a height
of 85 meters and on top the ground radar is placed
(aerodrome). Under the visual control room, extra floors
are constructed which accommodates offices, relax areas
and technical rooms. The largest floor diameter is 26
meter. The cab is connected with the base building by a
concrete shaft which houses internal elevator, stairs and
risers for equipment. The base building contains two levels
and contains mainly technical equipment rooms, like
emergency power supplies, fire protection and airhandlers.
Structural design
The concrete core is constructed by slip-forming. The
thickness of the wall varies from 300 mm to 600 mm with
an inner diameter of 9 meters. The foundation consists of
85 drilled piles and a foundation plate with a diameter of
26 meters and a thickness of 2500 mm under the shaft.
Due to the slip-forming process the exact concrete mix
during construction was very important and therefore
continuously monitored and adapted. After the concrete
shaft was complete, scaffolding systems were anchored on
top of the shaft which provided a safe and weatherproof
environment to complete the cab. The total building time
was 16 months making it the highest air traffic control
tower at that time in the world.

Function
Figure III.III: Schiphol tower 2 [google.nl]
The original function of this structure was a radar tower,
but only after one year of completion the client decided to
transform the radar tower into an air traffic control tower,
to meet the latest safe requirement for the newest runway
of Schiphol, the Polderbaan. Within only six months the
transformation was completed. The tower is divided into
two sections, the cab and a small base building. The cab
and base building are connected by a concrete core,
including stairs, and an external elevator
Structural design
Figure III.IV: Section Schiphol tower 2
[Bouwen Met staal, december 2003]
The new tower design was a structural challenge, because
the existing prefabricated concrete core, with a diameter of
2.8, had to be integrated. To provide more stability of the
steel cab, which was placed on top of the concrete core,
two steel column frames were added. Maximum
dimensions of these prefabricated steel members were
chosen to be able to transport them by road. Next to the
tower these sections were assembled and hoisted into
place, reducing the construction time considerably. By
using steel elements the self-weight was reduced whereby
only small adjustments were necessary to the already
existing foundation. The steel structure is made of tube
elements with outer diameters of 457 and 356 mm and a
thickness of 20 mm which provided enough stiffness,
reducing lateral deformations and unwanted accelerations.
Note: from experiences of air traffic controllers working
during storms, higher accelerations are felt in this tower.

The tower is divided into the plinth (“Sockelgebaude”), an
intermediate section with a membrane covering and the
tower head (“Kanzel”). The plinth extends over 6 floors and
accommodates places for air traffic controllers who do not
require direct visual services to aircrafts. The intermediate
section is covered by a translucent layer and is used for
architectural and advertising purposes. The tower head
gives a 360° view over the airport and houses the
observations areas, antenna, radar facilities, offices and
technical workstations.
Structural design
The tower shaft is around 100 meters high, is shaped
circular and has got a wall thickness of 450 mm. The main
structure of the tower is made of reinforced concrete. The
shaft measures 10 metres in diameter and is constructed
by slip-forming. The load bearing structure of the plinth is
provided by frame systems. The system consists of
reinforced concrete floors with a thickness of 300 mm and
circular columns ranging with a diameter of 300 to 500
mm.

Function
The tower is divided into a cab and a base building. The cab
contains four floors where in the highest level the visual
control room is located. In the lower floors the recreation
rooms, kitchens, toilets and offices are accommodated. The
lowest level houses the mechanical rooms and the lift
lobby. Here the cab is connected with the base building by
an external elevator.
Structural design
Figure III.IX: Section Heathrow tower [Arup
Journal 2, 2008]
The original structural design was considered to be a
traditional slip-formed concrete cantilever. Due to security,
operations and radar restrictions it was decided to
construct a cable-stayed steel tower made of prefabricated
steel sections with a length of 12 meters. An additional
advantage arises because a smaller shaft diameter could be
used, improving the visual impact. Due to the airside
construction location a fast erection time was needed. This
was achieved by limiting the crane operations by using
strand jacks the prefabricated cab was jacked during night
time. Afterwards the steel sections were bolted together.

Structural system: Core + frame system
Structural material: steel and concrete

Source: Arupassociates.com, worldbuildingdirectory.com
Function
The tower is divided into a cab and a base building. The eye
height has been set at 105 meter. The core supporting the
cab is a compact and lightweight structure with two lifts
and an external escape stair wrapped along the narrow
concrete core. The base building consists of two stories
containing offices, plants and air traffic control operations.
Figure III.XI & III.XII: structural systems and section
[worldbuildingdirectory.com]
Structural design
The tower will be constructed with two different structural systems. To reduce weight, the slender
concrete core is supported by a light weighted steel exoskeleton. The overall mass of the tower is reduced
by 30 %. To minimise the impact of ground movements during an earthquake, the tower is placed on a
base isolation.
Tall slender structures can
suffer from wind-induced
vibrations,
like
vortex,
causing high accelerations
and discomfort for the air
traffic controllers. To reduce
this
effect
perforated
cladding panels are placed
at the upper levels.

Function
The tower is divided into a cab and a base building. The cab
contains three floors where in the highest level the visual
control room is located. In the lower two floors other
functions are accommodated. The tower shaft contains 2
elevators.
Structural design
Figure III.XV: Section core upper levels
[Royasl HaskoningDHV, 2013]
The ATC tower and administration building are structural
independent, they only share the foundation. The concrete
shaft provides stability to withstand lateral loads from wind
and earthquakes. The shaft is a circular section with an
inside diameter of 9.2 meter. The wall thickness starts at
1.0 meter and reduces in a few steps along the height in
order to safe weight and reduces the earthquake loading.
The shaft changes in section along the upper levels, to
create more and better functional space in the circular
plan. Two inner walls and a part of the circular will
continue to provide stability up.
The structural capacity of the control cab is met by
moment fixed connections. The foundation consists of a
thick plate on piles.
The core is built with a self-climbing formwork, so the
layout is designed for continuous wall without having to
reprogram the formwork.
Figure III.XVI: Control cab
[Royasl HaskoningDHV, 2013]
To conclude the basic design principle is to separate service
from structures. This provides flexibility in lay-out and use
of the building.

[Royasl HaskoningDHV, 2014]
Function
The tower is divided into a control cab, a weather station
and a base building. The cab contains four floors where in
the highest level the visual control room is located. In the
lower three floors other functions are accommodated. At
the height of 40 meters a weather observation room is
located on requires of the client. Also in this tower shaft
two elevators are accommodated. The base building is
relative large and contain several functions and the shape
is extraordinary, influencing the wind forces on the tower.
Figure III.XVIII: Base isolation
[Royasl HaskoningDHV, 2014]
Structural design
The aim of the design was to keep it simple, design what is need, in an effective integrated way. This
philosophy makes it possible to create iconic building in a cost effective manner. Repetition is used where
ever possible to further optimise cost and building speed.
The stabilizing structure of the ATC tower is a concrete shaft combined with an outrigger structures
located at the weather station level. This outrigger is supported by pre-stressed ties. The core takes
approximately 20 % of the overturning moment, the ties the other 80 %. Reduces the core dimension
considerably. The ATC tower is seismically isolated by pendulums.

FEASIBILITY STUDY OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWERS AROUND THE GLOBE
Sketch-up model Approach paths
Below several images of the 3D sketch-up approach path model are presented. This model is
used to determine whether or not the tower does interfere with the flight paths.
It can be concluded that the worst position to place an ATC control tower is near the begin or end
of a runway. These positions are marked with red in figure V.I and is explained by the fact that
airplanes are flying the lowest (no ground contact) at these locations when approaching a
runway. When the airplane unsuccessfully lands or is approaching, a missed approach procedure
follows and the airplane will ascend, explaining the elevations along the runway displayed in
purple.

Tension is present in the core and higher than the tension capacity of the concrete. The concrete will crack and a lower E’b
must be used. In order to prevent cracking and able to use the original E’b value, pretension of the concrete can be applied.
In a later stage the reinforcement and the possible pretension must be calculated and will be disregarded in this master
thesis.
Stiffness

Yes
The deflection of the building is within the margins
