The proposed Chaoyang Park Financial Tower is a distinctive twin top apartment tower which extends to a height of 200m. The proposed tower is located in the Chaoyang district of Beijing and due to the high seismicity of the region, H+P developed a ductile bundled reinforced concrete tube system as a system for the building working in close collaboration with Lucien Lagrange. Each component of the building, two towers sections 200m high and the bustle which connects the two which extends up to 130m, is enclosed by a continuous tube frame with columns spaced 4m on center with frame beams 1000mm deep. In each of the tower sections a concrete core wall will also be utilized to resist lateral loads.
The tube frame is a recognized efficient and ductile structural system for buildings in this height range and given this function. Additionally, because cast-in-place construction is prevalent in Beijing, the proposed system is cost-effective and efficient construct. In order to ensure the frame was proportioned as efficiently as possible, H+P utilized optimization scripts to calculate minimum beam and column sizes to meet GB code stiffness and strength requirements.
