Sustainable High-rise Construction in Shanghai Case study – Shanghai Tower Gina Letízia Lau Thesis to obtain the Master of Science Degree in Civil Engineering Supervisor: Professor Manuel Guilherme Caras Altas Duarte Pinheiro Supervisor: Professor Manuel de Arriaga Brito Correia Guedes Examination Committee Chairperson: Professor Albano Luís Rebelo da Silva das Neves e Sousa Supervisor: Professor Manuel Guilherme Caras Altas Duarte Pinheiro Member of the Committee: Professor Vítor Faria e Sousa July 2015 In Memoriam “Godfather” Conny van Rietschoten Acknowledgements Firstly, THANK YOU to my parents and my grandparents for always encouraging me to do and to be better. Especially my extraordinary and lovely mom, for her dedication, for leading me to the right path, for accepting and supporting my decisions, always taught me to think positively and be strong, because “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass…it's about learning how to dance in the rain!” And my grandparents for educating me during my childhood and believing me. Although they are in Shanghai, but they have always supported me when I needed. And to Tiotio, I would like to thank him for all the support I have received since I moved to Portugal. When I first came to Portugal, I did not understand a single word in Portuguese, with my family´s support and a lot of hard work I managed to overcome the language barrier. Secondly, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisors, Professor Manuel Duarte Pinheiro and Professor Manuel Correia Guedes, for their exemplary guidance, patience and information provided throughout the course of this work. -
China Megastructures: Learning by Experience
AC 2009-131: CHINA MEGASTRUCTURES: LEARNING BY EXPERIENCE Richard Balling, Brigham Young University Page 14.320.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 CHINA MEGA-STRUCTURES: LEARNING BY EXPERIENCE Abstract A study abroad program for senior and graduate civil engineering students is described. The program provides an opportunity for students to learn by experience. The program includes a two-week trip to China to study mega-structures such as skyscrapers, bridges, and complexes (stadiums, airports, etc). The program objectives and the methods for achieving those objectives are described. The relationships between the program objectives and the college educational emphases and the ABET outcomes are also presented. Student comments are included from the first offering of the program in 2008. Introduction This paper summarizes the development of a study abroad program to China where civil engineering students learn by experience. Consider some of the benefits of learning by experience. Experiential learning increases retention, creates passion, and develops perspective. Some things can only be learned by experience. Once, while the author was lecturing his teenage son for a foolish misdeed, his son interrupted him with a surprisingly profound statement, "Dad, leave me alone....sometimes you just got to be young and stupid before you can be old and wise". As parents, it's difficult to patiently let our children learn by experience. The author traveled to China for the first time in 2007. He was blindsided by the rapid pace of change in that country, and by the remarkable new mega-structures. More than half of the world's tallest skyscrapers, longest bridges, and biggest complexes (stadiums, airports, etc) are in China, and most of these have been constructed in the past decade. -

Economics Planning of Super Tall Buildings in Asia Pacific Cities
Economics Planning of Super Tall Buildings in Asia Pacific Cities Dr Paul H K HO, Hong Kong SAR, China Key words: economics planning, super tall building, Asia Pacific SUMMARY The purpose of this paper is to study the economics planning of super tall office buildings in Asia Pacific cities. This study is based on the case study of the Asia Pacific’s 10 tallest buildings which are distributed over six major cities. All are landmark buildings with similar functions. From the analysis of the collected data, the floor plate of these buildings is comparatively large, thus achieving a fairly high lettable to gross floor ratio of about 80% and low wall to floor area ratio of about 0.33. The most common lease span is approximately 12m with column-free between its service core and exterior window. The most common floor-to-floor height is about 4.0m. Square or similar plan is the most common geometry in super tall buildings since this geometry offers the same stiffness in both directions against lateral wind forces. Typically the building is in form of a large podium at lower levels with a setback in the overall floor plan dimension in the main tower and a slightly tapered shape at its top floors. The central core approach in which the core is designed as a structural element to provide stability is commonly used in super tall buildings. By using slip-form or jump-form techniques, a 3 to 4-day cycle is achievable for core wall construction which is similar to steel construction. -

The Impact of Sports Events on Urban Development in Post-Mao China: a Case Study of Guangzhou
ABSTRACT THE IMPACT OF SPORTS EVENTS ON URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN POST-MAO CHINA: A CASE STUDY OF GUANGZHOU By Hong Chen The study on the relationship between sports and cities has proliferated among academics. However, research is mostly focused on developed countries such as the United States and Europe. What kind of impacts do sports events have on Chinese cities? Do sports-events influence post-Mao China differently than developed countries? Assessing the impacts that sporting mega-events have on Guangzhou, which will host the 16th Asian Game in 2010, this research reveals that China’s governments are the key actor in the process of bidding for and hosting mega-sports events. Cities in China have used this strategy to stimulate new district development instead of urban redevelopment. The city governments in China are pursuing sporting mega-events for infrastructure improvement rather than economic issues. The construction of new stadiums and infrastructure, environmental improvement, city image improvement and district development are positive outcomes; however, there is a lack of economic assessment. There is a need for the city to cooperate with the private sector, adopt public participation and to develop a cost-effective use of sports facilities after the sporting mega-events are over.

As China Goes, So Goes the World November 17, 2010 in Excerpt by The China Beat | Permalink Karl Gerth is a tutor and fellow at Merton College and a historian of modern China at Oxford University. His new book is As China Goes, So Goes the World: How Chinese Consumers are Transforming Everything (Hill & Wang, 2010). (See this review by Christina Larson at the Washington Monthly and this oneat Kirkus Reviews for more on Gerth’s book.) Below, an excerpt from chapter 1 of As China Goes, which takes a look at one of the most notable phenomena of 21st- century Chinese life: the sudden boom in car ownership and its far-reaching consequences. No Going Back? China Creates a Car Culture and Economy Today’s China sounds different. Back when I arrived in Nanjing for my junior year in college in 1986, one of the first things that struck me was the absence of car noise, signaling, of course, the absence of cars.
