IntroductionQuite a number of Super High-rise buildings have been built in the recent years in Hong Kong. Majority of these buildings are in the form of composite structure, that is, they are built using reinforced concrete as the core and structural steel as the outer embracing frame.

- Hotel/Office towers in HKCEC Phase I
Sectional-mixed structures (Lower floors in RC/upper in composite)
- Citic Tower
- International Finance Center Tower 1

International Finance Center Tower 2
![Page 8: The construction of Super High-rise Composite Structures in](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020705/61fb81fd2e268c58cd5efe5a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
International Finance Center Tower 1 – RC core + RC perimeter columns configuration up to 23/F, 23/F to 38/F becomes a composite structure with columns & slabs in steel
![Page 9: The construction of Super High-rise Composite Structures in](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020705/61fb81fd2e268c58cd5efe5a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Characteristic for buildings constructed in composite manner in Hong Kong
• Size of building usually very large – floor area ranging from 1800 to 2500 sq m, total floor area from 80000 to 200000 sq m
• Structural forms bear similarity – RC core as the inner tube provide rigidity, external frame with perimeter steel columns/edge beams, floor in composite deck with RC topping
• Very few columns provided at base/lower level to create spacious lobby at Ground entrance
• External bracing members are seldom used to avoid blocking of valuable exterior view. Belt truss and outrigger systems are used instead
• Buildings usually consist of a very large and deep basement

rigidity to resist deflection caused by lateral load (wind)
• Usually formed by mechanical-lifted formwork system such as climb form or jump form
• Connection provision such as anchor plate for steel beams, build-in bar couplers or starter bar box for slab, and anchor frame for outrigger, will be provided in the core wall during its construction

Major elements in Composite Building Structures
Transfer truss• Common design in Hong Kong to provide a spacious
ground lobby to a building by using the minimum number of columns at the lower floors to support the entire superstructure
• Transfer truss is used to transfer the building loads from the upper columns down onto the main columns at lower level
• Transfer truss sometimes connected to the outrigger to increase the rigidity of the building at lower levels

Major elements in Composite Building Structures
Belt truss and Outrigger• Provided to building frame at interval every 20 to 25
floors to allow building to regain its stiffness.
• Often in the form of inclined bracing, stretching inward, outward or in “X” or “Y” configuration
• An anchor frame is embedded in the core for connecting the outrigger in order to cater for the strong pulling out tendency

Production concerns for the construction of composite structure
The construction of composite structures in Hong Kong is very complicated in terms of their size and work nature. The followings are some of the common problems often encountered.
1. Site layout to cater for very congested site environment
2. Simultaneous works
3. Cranage requirements
4. Provision of temporary work arrangement during construction
5. Height and headroom problems
6. Works at peak period
7. Controlling of rain water during construction
![Page 62: The construction of Super High-rise Composite Structures in](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020705/61fb81fd2e268c58cd5efe5a/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Extremely complicated site layout during the construction – demolition of the old basement, foundation works, forming of the building core, erection of steel
column and constructing the ground slab worked almost at the same time

Cranage demand
There are altogether about 26000 steel members (average about 0.9 ton) being used in the Cheung Kong Center.
The construction period for the building frame takes about 50 weeks. That means, the cranage requirement at average is about 520 ton/week, or about 100 ton/day, excluding the lifting of other materials such as the decking sheet or usual reinforcing bars

Fire Resisting treatment to steel in composite/structural steel buildings
These can be done either by
• Encasing the structural steel elements with concrete
• Covering the elements with fire resisting boarding (e.g. cement board)
• Covering the element with fire resisting plaster (e.g. spray-on vermiculite/cement-base plaster)

Future development of using structural steel or composite structures in Hong Kong
Instead of building very large and complex building using composite manner, which resulted to very high cost in construction, the following ways may be adopted in order to achieve more cost effective application of technology in future.
1. Use more simple and straight forward design like regular steel frame structure in grid layout
2. Use more standardized components such as universal sections, lattice trusses or prefabricated standard sections in the design
3. Apply more to other types of building structure/construction as in many developed country like Japan, USA, or even Korea and Taiwan
4. Forming hybrid structure with other prefabricated elements
