4. STRUCTURAL DETAIL
• The tower's trapezoid aperture is
made up of structural steel and
reinforced concrete.
• A large number of forces, such as
wind loads, the people in the
building and heavy equipment
housed in the building, act on
the SWFC's structure.
• These compressive and bending
forces are carried down to the
ground by the diagonal-braced
frame (with added outrigger
trusses).
• The design employs an effective
use of material, because it
decreases the thickness of the
outer core shear walls and the
weight of the structural steel in
the perimeter walls

6. • Exhibit Braces and outriggers
are used to stabilize and
support structures to ensure
extra support
• The Exhibit and Display Braces
are used to stabilize or
support a corner span of truss
that may need extra strength.
• Whereas our Display Booth
Outriggers are an angled
piece of truss that slopes back
or in front of a vertical upright
/ leg providing the necessary

7. • This is an extraordinary building, one that will
attract the eye of all in Shanghai. Making use of a
composite, steel and concrete mega-structure
• While no two floors are identical, considerable
repetition is found in the concrete walls and
steel framing.
• In order to decrease the weight of the building,
the majority of that decrease had to be found
in a reduction of the thickness of the concrete
shear walls of the services core.
• This reduction could be achieved only by
decreasing the wind- and earthquake-induced
lateral forces

8. Column of mega structure
• The columns of the mega
structure are of mixed
structural steel and reinforced
concrete
• The steel column must be of
a size capable of fully
transferring the vertical
component of the load in
the diagonals to the
composite columns

9. • The steel column only needs to be strong enough to
carry the construction load of the steelwork above.
HOW TO MAKE BUILDING EARTHQUAKE•
RESISTANCE :-
•
Because of the unusual nature of the structural system,
considerable attention was given to resistance to the
moving earth.
The structure is designed to remain in the elastic mode
throughout the life of the building.
