Abstract The application of natural ventilation strategies in high-rise office buildings is considered one the most promising trends to address high energy performance and enhance indoor thermal comfort levels interior spaces. In this regard, study attempts assess potential a specific, previously investigated, envelope design building located temperate climate zone. Different summer approaches ...

The Kunshan urban investment project includes 1 office tower, 4 high-rise residential buildings and commercial building. Each monomer shares a large basement chassis, total of three floors. This design is the second phase (5# super corresponding basement).The height structure more than 140 meters, which concrete-filled steel tubular frame + core tube system. selection structural system are anal...

In this study, the seismic performances of a 14-storey office building in Nanjing, China, due to its plan and vertical irregularities structural system, were evaluated using response spectrum method, elastic time history analysis elastic–plastic analysis. combination these three methods, storey drifts states typical members under levels earthquakes determined verify robustness design program.
