Analysis and Reflection on the Green, Low-Carbon, and Energy
May 15, 2024 · We found that the unique exterior design of the Shanghai Tower results in a more regular and uniform distribution of wind pressure on its surface compared to both circular and square planar models, with a lower average wind pressure value.
Structural Design of Shanghai Tower for Wind Loads
Jan 1, 2011 · Due to the super tall height, curved façade and spiraling form of the Shanghai tower project, wind is the dominant lateral load and governed many aspects of the structural design. To precisely determine the design wind loads, a detailed wind climate study was conducted.
In this paper, two technologies within the Shanghai Tower—ground source heat pumps (GSHP) and double skin facades (DSF)—will be analyzed. The paper will consist of firstly an investigation of the principles of the tech-nologies, and then analysis, evaluation, and comparison of their respective characteristics.
