| Abstract: |
This paper describes a structural solution for the design of a 29-stories high-rise tower, which has a large office space above the Kabukiza Theatre. In order to support 23 stories of office space above the theatre having a large void in plan, two numbers of 13m-deep mega-truss, spanning 38.4m, are installed at the fifth floor of the building. Steelwork is used as a primary material for the structure above ground and a hybrid response control system using buckling-restrained brace and oil damper is adopted in order to achieve a high seismic performance. This paper also describes the erection process installing hydraulic jacks directly above the mega-truss at column bases of those supported by the truss, in order to keep the structure above the truss level during construction. |
