Characteristics and Case Analysis of Top-Down Construction in China

Top-Down construction is becoming a popular construction method in China as there is a growing need for building high-rise structures in crowded urban areas. This paper deals with the explanation and analysis of characteristics of Top-Down construction in China. In China, usually construction site is relatively large or sometimes huge compared to that in Korea. Thus, as the high-rise portion of the building needs to be constructed first and fast, island method is used at the center p망t of the building. In the meanwhile, the remaining area of the building is constructed using Top-Down method to provide working area for equipments and workers. Also, the case studies of construction examples are provided in this paper. The purpose of this paper is to promote international understanding and interaction between neighborhood countries for the utilization of Top-Down construction.
