This mixed-use Raffles City (RCH) development is located near the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province, located southwest of Shanghai, China. The project incorporates retail, offices, housing, and hotel facilities and marks the site of a cultural landscape within the Quianjiang New Town Area. The project is composed of two 250-meter-tall twisting towers with a form of vibrant waves, along with a commercial podium and three stories of basement car parking. It reaches a height of 60 stories, presenting views both to and from the Qiantang River and West Lake areas, with a total floor area of almost 400,000 square meters. A composite moment frame plus concrete core structural system was adopted for the tower structures. Concrete filled steel tubular (CFT) columns together with steel reinforced concrete (SRC) beams form the outer moment frame of the towers' structure. The internal slabs and floor beams are of reinforced concrete. This paper presents the engineering design and construction of this highly complex project. Through comprehensive discussion and careful elaboration, some conclusions are reached, which serve as a reference guide for the design and construction of similar free-form, hybrid, mix-use buildings.

With the rapid urbanization and growing energy use intensity in the built environment, the glazed curtainwall has become ever more important in the architectural practice and environmental stewardship. Besides its energy efficiency roles, window has been an important transparent component for daylight penetration and a view-out for occupant satisfaction. In response to the climate crisis caused by the built environment, this research focuses on the study of net-zero energy retrofitting by using a new building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) curtainwall as a sustainable alternative to conventional window systems. Design variables such as building orientations, climate zones, energy attributes of BIPV curtainwalls, and glazed area were studied, to minimize energy consumption and discomfort hours for three cities representing hot (Miami, FL), mixed (Charlotte, NC), and cold (Minneapolis, MN). Parametric analysis and Pareto solutions are presented to provide a comprehensive explanation of the correlation between design variables and performance objectives for net-zero energy retrofitting applications.

The ASHRAE Design Guide for Tall, Supertall and Megatall Building Systems was produced in collaboration with the CTBUH. The design guide outlines various tall building mechanical systems that are presently being designed or are planned for the future. Tall commercial buildings in particular present a series of design problems that set them apart from other functions. The Design Guide will be of interest to owners, architects, structural engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and other specialized engineers and consultants. This design guide addresses design issues for tall commercial buildings, which are very often mixed-use, and commonly consist of low level retail, office floors, residential units, and hotel uses.

Tall buildings are built with an abundant amount of materials, including structural materials, coming from our limited natural resources. Tall buildings that began from about 10-story tall office towers have evolved to over 150-story tall mixed-use megastructures. As a building becomes taller, structural material requirement to resist lateral wind loads becomes exponentially larger. Therefore, it is crucial to employ efficient structural systems and optimize their design, which will contribute to sustainable vertical built environments through preservation of resources. Tube type structures with large perimeter diagonals are among the most efficient structural systems for tall buildings. Developments of braced tube, braced megatube, diagrid structures, and their optimal design strategies are reviewed. Superframed conjoined towers, produced by interconnecting multiple clustered braced tubes, are presented as a new design direction to achieve not only structural but also architectural and social sustainable design goals.

초고층 주상복합 건축물은 구조적으로 수직샤프트의 길이가 길고 24시간 냉난방이 이루어지는 용도적인 특성으로 혹서기 심야시간대에 실내외 온도차에 의한 연돌효과가 다른 건물보다 크게 발생한다. 또한, 하부 층에는 개구율이 높은 판매시설 및 지하주차장 등이 위치하고 있어 중성대가 상대적으로 낮게 형성되는 압력분포 특성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 압력분포는 화재위험도가 높은 하부 층에서 화재발생 시 중성대 이상층 전체가 연기확산의 위험에 노출되고 출입문 개방장애 등의 피난장애를 가져올 수 있음을 예측할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 초고층주상복합건축물에서의 수직 및 수평 압력분포를 정상조건 및 배연창개방조건에 따라 계단실, 부속실, 복도에서의 압력을 측정하고 압력분포특성을 분석하였다.

With the intensification of urban development in Chinese cities, mixed land use in urban centers extends vertically into 3-D and expands its scale from a single building to commercial clusters. The multi-level pedestrian system in city centers also changed its role from one of traffic isolation to spatial integration, where transit nodes, street sidewalks, squares, building entrances, atriums, and corridors are interconnected, both horizontally and vertically, into a whole spatial system, within which pedestrian flows are guided and shopping facilities are arranged. This paper uses spatial configuration analysis of space syntax to examine the impacts of spatial patterns on movement distribution and the business performance of tenant mix in the multi-level commercial system of the Nanshan Commercial Cultural District in Shenzhen, China. The key objective is to better understand the interactions between the socio-economic variables and spatial design parameters of a shopping complex. The research findings point to the importance of multiplicity between syntactic variables and other spatial variables in influencing the pedestrian flows, business performance and tenant mix in highly complex commercial systems. Particularly noteworthy is the relationship between spatial accessibility measures and the location of escalators, and the ways in which individual commercial buildings are embedded into the overall spatial system. The study suggests that this may lead to the preliminary identification of the spatial qualities of effective vertical extensions of mixed land use in a high-density urban settings.

Large-capacity public transportation systems, represented by urban metro lines, are the key to alleviating the significant increase in urbanization and motorization in China. But to improve the agglomeration effect of metro stations in a more accurate and targeted way requires scientific evaluation and classification of the surrounding areas of metro stations. As spatial and functional design are the core factors for urban renewal design, this study took Beijing as an example, using multi-source data to evaluate the morphology and functional composition surrounding areas of metro stations, and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) matrix was used to classify and characterize each type of surrounding areas from morphological-functional dimensions. It shows a negative correlation of the mix-use index with the floor area ratio, and only about 20% of the areas achieve the ideal situation of high construction intensity with high mix-use diversity. Hoping to provide a reference for city managers and designers in dealing with the surrounding metro stations with different construction intensities in a more precise way.

As buildings have become higher and larger, the use of high performance concrete has increased. With this increase, interest in and use of ultra fine powder admixture is also on the rise. The silica fume and BSF are the admixtures currently being used in Korea. However, silica fume is exclusively import dependent because it is not produced in Korea. In the case of BFS, it greatly improves concrete fluidity and long-term strength. But a problem exists in securing early strength. Furthermore, air-cooled slag is being discarded, buried in landfills, or used as road bed materials because of its low activation energy. Therefore, we investigated in this study the usability of nano-slag (both rapidly-chilled and air-cooled) as an alternative material to the silica fume. We conducted a physic-chemical analysis for the nano-slag powder and performed a mortar test to propose quality standards. The analysis and testing were done to find out the industrial usefulness of the BFS that has been grinded to the nano-level.

도시의 지표면 기온 변화는 도시민의 열 쾌적성, 에너지 소비, 나아가 건강에 영향을 미치는 주요한 환경요인이다. 많은 연구가 도시 지표면 기온과 도시 건조환경(built-environment) 형태 간의 관계를 탐색해 왔으나 대부분 극궤도위성 자료를 사용해 정오 시간대 기온만을 분석하였다. 본 연구는 다양한 시간대 지표면 기온을 관측하는 ECOSTRESS 위성 자료를 활용하여 서울시 여름철 지표면 기온의 주간 변동을 탐색하였으며 기온 변동이 건조환경 유형별로 차별적으로 나타나는지 분석하였다. ECOSTRESS는 2018년 발사된 NASA 위성으로 점진 변화 궤도를 운항하며 다양한 시간대 지표면 온도를 70m 고해상도로 관찰한다. 본 연구는 2019~2022년 이른 오전(6:25AM)과 늦은 오후(5:26PM)에 걸친 자료를 수집하여 서울시 지표면 온도의 시계열 자료를 구축하였다. 환경 특성을 반영하는 녹지, 수면, 건축 형태(건폐율, 용적률, 높이) 데이터를 기반으로 계층적 군집분석을 실시해 8가지 건조환경 유형을 도출하였으며, 유형별 온도변동 특성을 비교하였다. 각 유형은 저층고밀거주지(low-rise compact), 저밀아파트단지(low-BCR Apt.), 강변 중고층 주거단지(Riverside Mid-rise Apt.), 중고층 용도혼합지역(mid-to-high-rise mixed use), 고층고밀지역(high-rise compact), 초고층빌딩(skyscrapers), 산림, 수면(하천)을 나타내었다. 분석 결과, 지표 기온의 공간적 격차는 새벽 이후 증가하여 정오(12:04)에 극대화된 뒤 다시 감소하였으며, 기온 변화가 급격한 지역과 안정적인 지역이 구분되었다. 저층 고밀 거주지와 고층 고밀지역의 경우 기온이 빠르고 높게 증가하여 기온변동성이 높았고, 저밀 아파트단지는 기온이 온화하고 완만하게 증가하며 기온 변동성이 낮았다. 건조환경 유형 간 평균기온의 서열은 시간별로 변화하지 않고 유지되었다. 이러한 결과는 폭염과 일교차 증가에 적응할 수 있는 도시형태에 시사점을 제공한다.
