Cutting-Edge Construction Technologies for Complex Structures

By Shaole Yu

With the advancement of society, the functions of buildings have evolved beyond mere residential and office purposes. Modern architectural aesthetics strive for individuality and innovation, while urban competition drives the creation of iconic structures to enhance a city's image. These landmarks often possess unique forms that captivate attention. The the Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland Project is the world's first natural ecological hotel built in an abandoned 88 meter underground pit. The aluminum alloy shell in the Nanjing Niushou Mountain Buddha Palace project is the largest free-form surface aluminum alloy shell structure in Asia, supported by four tree shaped steel structural columns. The Ningbo International Conference Center Project incorporates elements of Chinese traditional culture into its architectural style, resulting in the world's first corrido bridge international conference center. These intricate building designs pose significant challenges to engineering construction. Taking these representative complex building in China as an example, this book provides detailed insights into innovative construction technologies employed in such projects. It covers various aspects including BIM technology application throughout the entire construction process and across all professions involved in complex building projects; Self-balancing elevating construction scheme used in large-scale tree-shaped steel structure projects; construction methods for large-span steel lattice shell structures; Cumulative slip construction approaches for large-span space aluminum alloy structures and reverse construction methodologies applied to underground five-star hotels. By implementing these innovative technologies, further advancements can be made towards promoting scientific and technological progress within the building industry.
