19 3.1 Fundamental Natural Period 1 T1 of Structure Structural Height, H(m) Relationship between fundamental periods T 1 and heights of structures H>250m The figure is extracted from the following paper : XU, P.F., XIAO, C.Z., & LI, J.H. (2014). Study on relationship between natural vibration periods and heights of structures for high-rise buildings and its reference range. (in Chinese) China Civil Engineering Journal, Volume 47(2), pp Fundamental Natural Period of Structure, T 1 (s)

20 3.2 Use of High Strength Concrete C80 No Project Name Structural Height - Floors Guangzhou International Finance Centre 432m-103 floors Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre 518m-112 floors Guangzhou Leatop Plaza 303m-58 floors Shenzhen KK m-98 floors Shenzhen Hon Kwok City Centre 329m-75 floors Shenzhen Hanking Centre 350m-61 floors Tianjin CTF Finance Centre 530m-94 floors Shenyang Moi Centre 296m-72 floors High Strength Concrete Used in Core Wall C80 (from base slab to L30) Pure RC wall C80 (from base slab to L29) Steel plates embedded in wall C80 (from base slab to L8) Steel columns embedded in wall C80 (from base slab to L39) Steel columns embedded in wall C80 (from base slab to L46) Steel columns embedded in wall High Strength Concrete Used in Perimeter Columns Joint Zone: C90 (from base slab to L38) C80 (from L39 to L82) Non-joint Zone: C70 (from base slab to L38) C60 (other floors) Inclined CFT column C80 (from base slab to L68) CFT column Column concrete Not exceeding C70 CFT column C80 (from base slab to L46) CFT column C80 (from base slab to L46) SRC column No core tube C80 (from base slab to L36) CFT column Wall concrete Not exceeding C60 Steel plates embedded in wall Wall concrete Not exceeding C60 Steel columns embedded in wall C80 (from base slab to L53) CFT column C80 (used in low zone) CFT column Year of Completion Application of C80 and Above High Strength Concrete in Mainland China s 200m+ High-rise Buildings

21 3.2 Use of High Strength Concrete C80 As both the grade and volume of cement for high strength concrete are very large while the core wall is relatively long and with large constrains, it is easy for cracks to be occurred at early stage, and resulting in huge rectification cost and time delay. The construction quality will be greatly affected if the concreting temperature is too high. Concrete with improper slump or mix proportion could block the pump and form cold joints during concreting. IN DESIGN ASPECT Problems exposed in use of high strength concrete: Concrete Grade Design Compressive Strength Allowable Axial Force Ratio Wall Thickness C MPa 0.5 T C MPa T Compared with C60, the thickness of C80 core wall only decreases for about 4.2% PM team decided to apply C60 concrete to core wall and C70 concrete to SRC column respectively.

22 3.3 Design Spectrum of Seismic Acceleration Response Horizontal seismic influence coefficient Seismic acceleration response spectrum adopted by China National Code Horizontal seismic influence coefficient T Natural period of structure 10.0 Seismic acceleration response spectrum adopted by Shanghai local practice T Natural period of structure

23 3.4 Relationship between Base shear-gravity Ratio & Minimum Shear-gravity Ratio λ λ min = 0.15 α max where α max is the maximum value of horizontal seismic influence coefficient If 0.8λ min base shear-gravity ratio < λ min, then The horizontal seismic shear forces for all floors need to be amplified by multiplying amplification coefficients. It s unnecessary to increase the tower s stiffness. If base shear-gravity ratio < 0.8λ min, then The tower s horizontal stiffness must be increased by adjusting structural framing or members size. Such adjustments will cause significant increment in structural materials quantity. min

24 3.5 Proper Value for Stiffness-gravity Ratio (Must > 1.4) A B C The overall stability check for high-rise buildings is to ensure the gravity second-order effect under wind or seismic loadings will not cause the structural instability or collapse. For this project is located in Wuhan with relatively low seismic and wind loadings, the stiffness-gravity ratio may become a dominant factor for tower stiffness, must be > 1.4. For high-rise building with large variation in floor mass or floor-tofloor height along the building height, the stiffness-gravity ratio should be carefully calculated.

45 5.0 Conclusions According to CTBUH, by the end of September 2017, there are 11 nos. of 500m+ high-rise buildings had been completed or structurally / architecturally topped out globally. Guangzhou and Tianjin CTF Finance Centres ranks as the 8 th and 9 th tallest building respectively. 6 nos. of 500m+ buildings (i.e. 55%) are located in Mainland China. 500m+ High-rise Buildings Completed or Topped out

46 5.0 Conclusions If including the projects under construction and under design, there will be 41 nos. of 500m+ high-rise buildings in the future. Wuhan CTF Finance Centre will be the 5 th tallest building in the world. 22 nos. of 500m+ buildings (i.e. 54%) are located in Mainland China. 500m+ High-rise Buildings Completed, Topped out, Under Construction or Proposed

47 5.0 Conclusions Based on our design management experiences for 3 nos. of CTF Finance Centres, super high-rise project will definitely be a landmark not only connecting but also reshaping the City. To create a heritage for the future, all of the developer, operators & potential users of the building have very high standards and requirements in the aspects of building profile, outward view, functions, comfort level, cost, sustainability and environmental concerns etc., therefore, the followings are very critical in the early stage for selecting structural scheme: 1. It s necessary to consider not only the structural efficiency, but also the functional requirements & voice of customers very carefully with good foresights for bespoke design; 2. It s important to conduct comprehensive coordination among the design teams, operators and other stakeholders, so as to realize optimal design with excellent craftsmanship and fulfil special requirements from different disciplines & stakeholders; 3. It s indispensable to keep innovative thinking and open mind to explore all kinds of feasible structural schemes, so as to maximize the structural efficiency with good constructability while secure structural safety.
