Abstract:

A unique flexible suspend curtain wall support structure (CWSS) was ultimately developed to suit exterior curtain wall system of Shanghai Tower. Its characteristics of away from main structure, twisted geometry, heavy weight, high suspension height, weak & nouniform support stiffness lead to complicated cooperation properties with main structure, and created a number of unprecedented challenge for the analysis and design. Structural system and joint details have undergone repeated rounds of analysis, proof and optimization. Especially, By means of cooperative analysis of integrated model including CWSS and main structure, the properties of cooperative work of CWSS under horizontal and vertical loads, vertical seismic response, mechanical properties of CWSS in construction were analyzed in detail. These work ensured the successful implementation of the project construction. The actual installation and construction have proved the reliability of the design of this system.
