Through a series of detailed case studies from East Asia, Arup, one of the global leaders in tall building design, presents the latest developments in the field to inspire more innovative and sustainable ideas in tall building design and engineering. This book exhibits the key design aspects of tall buildings in 20 case studies, from China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Japan. Chapters cover design and construction, safety concerns, sustainability strategies, BIM and optimisation solutions, and include contributions from the actual project engineers. The projects chosen are not the tallest buildings, but all of them have been selected for their significant engineering insights and values. Arup's engineers explain the design principles, and how they overcame various design constraints and challenges, while exceeding their clients' expectations. Unique examples include: the design and application of a hybrid outrigger system in the Raffles City Chongqing project the challenges encountered in the construction of the CCTV Headquarters, Beijing as well as Tianjin's Goldin Finance 117 Tower, Ho Chi Minh City's Vincom Landmark 81, the China Resources Headquarters, Ping An IFC, Tokyo's Nicolas G Hayek Center and the Shanghai World Financial Centre. These varied and complex cases studies draw on multi-disciplinary design and engineering challenges which make this book essential reading for architects, structural engineers, project managers and researchers of high-rise buildings. The book also provides a usual reference and link between practitioners in the industry, academia and engineering students.

CHAPTER 1: AMBITIOUSLY TALL 1
Tall buildings are viewed as a symbol of a city's socio-economic power and
the source
of pride of its people; they are becoming increasingly tall and peculiar in
shape. How
can we realise height?
1a Raffles City Chongqing, Chongqing, China 3
A patented hybrid outrigger system to achieve 9.4 slenderness ratio in two
350m
tall buildings. Also a 280m long seismically isolated glass-clad
conservatory floating
265m above the ground.
1b Tianjin Goldin Finance 117 Tower, Tianjin, China 13
597m tall building in high seismicity region, supported by four steel mega
columns,
perimeter cross-bracing and belt trusses.
1c The Masterpiece (K11), Hong Kong 21
Vertical pre-stressing with belt truss and outrigger to realise a
reinforced concrete
building with an aspect ratio of 12.
CHAPTER 2: Facilitating construction 29
Tall buildings, especially those in iconic shapes, often suffer from high
risks in
construction safety and costs. As designers and engineers, what are we
doing to
facilitate construction, ensure safety and reduce construction time and
cost?
2a CCTV Headquarters, Beijing, China 31
Joining two 75m long cantilever steelwork from two inclined towers at 162m
above ground; wind, temperature, stress built in the two inclined towers
all matter.
2b Vincom Landmark 81, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam 39
Tallest building in Vietnam upon completion. Difficult ground conditions,
large scale
of the project and fast-paced programme all pose challenges to the pile
design and
construction.
2c Tianjin Goldin Finance 117 Tower, Tianjin, China 47
Soft soil and deep stiff strata resulted in a foundation system with 941
100m long
1m diameter friction piles.
2d Tianjin Chow Tai Fook Finance Center, Tianjin, China 55
The curvatures along this 530m tall building yield more than 20,000 unique
irregular façade panels; Arup rationalised them to just over a thousand.
CHAPTER 3: All in one, vertically integrated 61
Today, tall buildings are often cities within a city, embracing all major
functions of a city
- office, hotel, retail, residential and so on. But how can we make the
best use of space
and make all the services function well together, vertically?
3a Changsha International Finance Square, Changsha, China 63
Effective vertical transportation strategy to achieve high handling
capacity with
minimum space.
3b Guangzhou International Finance Centre, Guangzhou, China 71
Mixed-use tower has different MEP requirements at different building zones.
Optimisation is crucial to ensure maximum rentable area.
CHAPTER 4: Safe and comfortable 79
Many people are afraid of getting trapped in a tall building during extreme
events such
as fires, earthquakes and super typhoons. Are our tall buildings designed
safe enough?
4a China Zun (Z15), Beijing, China 81
Structural fire engineering explains the possible interaction between
different
structural members during a fire, allowing us to go beyond the prescriptive
design
codes.
4b Nicolas G. Hayek Center, Tokyo, Japan 89
An innovative "self-mass damper" system which transfers the floor slabs to
mass
dampers to ensure no collapse in a one-in-a-1000-year earthquake in Tokyo.
4c Shanghai World Financial Centre, Shanghai, China 97
The first Chinese lift-assisted evacuation strategy, reducing the
evacuation time by
almost 40% in this 101-storey building.
4d China Resources Headquarters, Shenzhen, China 105
Apart from ensuring the tall building is safe in typhoons and earthquakes,
we also
adopted a motion simulator to help the client determine the comfort
criteria.
CHAPTER 5: Green building 113
Tall buildings are a major source of carbon emissions in cities due to
energy
consumption in their heating, cooling and ventilation systems. They also
have adverse
effects on the microclimate. How can we minimise their environmental impact
and
unleash their potential environmental advantages?
5a China Resources Building, Hong Kong 115
Strategies to make a 25-year-old building save 27% water and 8% energy
consumption.
5b Ping An International Finance Centre, Shenzhen, China 123
Specific challenges in making a 599m super-tall building "green" and Arup's
solutions.
5c Hysan Place, Hong Kong 131
A LEED-CS Platinum project that not only benefits the building owner and
users,
but also the community. How?
CHAPTER 6: Design in the digital age 139
Digital tools are influencing how buildings are designed. They save time
and give
confidence to designers to move away from conventional buildings towards
unusual
forms; they are also revolutionising the construction process by
integrating the way
different disciplines work.
6a M+, Hong Kong 141
Implementing BIM from the very beginning of the design for better design
coordination and quicker design calculation.
6b China Zun (Z15), Beijing, China 151
Parametric design has enabled automatic design processes and optimised
structural solutions.
CHAPTER 7: Total Design 159
An integrated approach is particularly important in tall buildings, where
many skills are
needed to make the complex web of systems function effectively for the
vertical cities.
Collaboration is often the most powerful design tool to bring optimum
solutions.
7a Canton Tower, Guangzhou, China 161
An integrated effort by Arup's structural and building services engineers,
specialists in fire, seismic and wind, and lighting designers has realised
the most
elegant TV tower in the world.
7b Marina Bay Sands, Singapore 173
This mega project took four years to design and construct; without the
multi-disciplinary and global Arup team, this would have been impossible.
