Low Carbon Based Structural Design Method in Super Tall Buildings

Abstract:

Many super tall buildings are built up in China in recent years. The concept of low carbon based design has aroused much focus nowadays. There are few researches that combine structural design of super tall buildings with life cycle based low carbon design. Due to its huge quantity material and energy assumption, the super tall buildings exert great impact on the environment. In this study, an innovative new life cycle model is proposed for assess and optimize the life cycle environmental cost of super tall buildings, in which the space distribution of the building materials is considered besides the time dimension. A benchmark super tall building is established in this study to illustrate the application of the proposed new life cycle model. According to the case study results, a conclusion is drawn that a remarkable difference would be made in carbon emissions if low carbon based structural design method could be applied.
