Chengdu Dongcun Greenland Tower

Highlights

• Surrounding the main tower are two smaller towers, respectively 167 and 174 meters, and a six-story podium.
• The main lateral force resisting system is a steel reinforced concrete core wall with sixteen steel reinforced concrete columns that zig-zag along the height of the tower following the architectural design surface.
• The second lateral force resisting system is a high-performance brace-frame system of steel-reinforced concrete columns with an outer periphery of steel beams and braces.
• The braces are located on the edges of the surface facets, serving as both the structural members and architectural components.
• The final product is a highly integrated and efficient structural system for a super tall building in an active seismic zone.
