Segerstrom Concert Hall and Samueli Theater
Concrete Hits All the High Notes for Concert Hall
 Adjacent
to the Orange County Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa, Calif.,
the $200-million complex includes the 2,000-seat Rene and Henry
Segerstrom Concert Hall and the 500-seat Samueli Theater.
The building was named after real estate developer Henry Segerstrom,
who donated $40 million to the privately funded project in 2000,
and the Samueli Foundation, which donated $10 million in 2001.
Concrete applications include almost 5 miles of cast-in-place
concrete beams; elevated cast-in-place decks; radius stadium-style
cast-in-place decks; shotcrete reverberation chamber doors; and
34-inch-diameter free-standing columns up to 60-feet tall.
This building also incorporated some encasement
of structural steel beams and columns in concrete. Concrete mixes
for the various applications included 13 separate design strengths
from 2500 psi up to 6000 psi.
The California Construction and
Industrial Materials Association named the Renee and Henry Segerstrom
Concert Hall and Samueli Theater project of the year. Each year,
the group honors an outstanding project in Southern California with
the award.
