Structural selection and design analysis of a super high-rise office building

Abstract

A super high-rise building, with a height of 238 meters, 4 floors underground and 50 floors above the ground, exceeds the Class B height limit of the specification, and belongs to an ultra-high over-limit structure. Through the selection of different structural systems, its structural system is determined as the frame core tube structure. This structure uses YJK, SATWE, PKPM-SAUSAGE for structural analysis, uses performance-based methods for seismic design, and the weak parts of the structure are strengthened accordingly. Structural analysis mainly includes elasticity analysis of small earthquakes, elastic time history analysis of small earthquakes, elastic and inflexion analysis of moderate earthquakes, inflexibility analysis of large earthquakes and elastoplastic time history analysis of large earthquakes.
