Development and Prospect of Applications of Niobium Microalloyed Steels to Building Structures in China Proceedings of the Value-Added Niobium Microalloyed Construction Steels Symposium CBMM and TMS, 2015 DEVELOPMENT AND PROSPECT OF APPLICATIONS OF NIOBIUM MICROALLOYED STEELS TO BUILDING STRUCTURES IN CHINA Mingxuan He1, Yaohua Wu2 and Houxin Wang3 1Baosteel Construction Co., Ltd. Shanghai 201900, China 2Central Research Institute of Building and Construction, MCC, Beijing 100088, China 3CITIC-CBMM Microalloying Technology Center, Beijing 100082, China Keywords: Niobium Microalloyed Steel, High-rise Buildings, Large Span Structure, Steel Standards, Case Studies, Mechanical Properties Abstract The Chinese steel industry has been developing at an amazing rate for over ten years, providing great quantities of steel materials to downstream industries and also stimulating the development of these industries. In recent years, with the further development of urbanization and modernization, many high-rise buildings and large span structures have been built in China, and a large amount of steel has been used in those buildings. Before giving some examples of the buildings in which niobium microalloyed steels have been used, Chinese steel standards are reviewed. The new version of the code for the design of steel structures allows more steel grades to be considered for building structures. There is no doubt that niobium microalloyed steels, with outstanding mechanical properties, will play a very important role in the booming era of high- rise buildings in China. Present Situation and Development of Building Steel Structures in China In recent years, China's economy has been growing continuously at high speed, and urbanization is similarly increasing. China has been the biggest steel producer in the world for over 15 years. To achieve light weight, high strength, better seismic performance, improved usable floor area, faster construction, energy conservation, environmental protection and other comprehensive economic advantages, more and more steel is used in building constructions. The development of steel structure buildings has become a principal engineering construction policy in China. The steel construction industry chain has been formed on the basis of the steel production, steel structure design, steel components production, installation and related industries. While the lower strength steel Q235 dominated in the past, Q345 and higher strength low alloy steels are now the major steel grades being used. The number of high-rise buildings and large span steel structure buildings in China will be the largest in the world in the next ten years, and accordingly niobium-bearing microalloyed high strength steel should be widely used. 13 China’s Steel Output and Steel in Building Structures China’s steel output exceeded 100 million tons in 1996, becoming the world’s biggest steel producer. At present, within the domestic steel market, supply exceeds demand. According to the 2009 census, the steel consumption in segments was: building (including rebar and structural steel plates) 52%, industries 34%, transportation 6% and others 8%. Steel output and steel consumption in building structures in 2009 and 2010 are shown in Table I. From the table, the proportion of steel used in building steel structures to the total steel output is too low (accounting for only about 4%), while it is approximately 10% or more for developed countries and more than 30% for Japan and the United States. Therefore, there is much space and great potential for the development of building steel structures using niobium-bearing high strength steels. Table I.

Steel consumption proportions according to building types in (a) 2009 and (b) 2010. Building Structure Steel Standards Ten years ago, the major steel used in building structures was Q235 carbon structural steel produced as per the national standard “Carbon Structural Steel” GB/T 700-88 [3] and a small amount of Q345 steel as per “High Strength Low Alloy Steels” GB/T 1591-94 [5]. Along with the continuous development of China’s steel industry, the level of technology, processing, equipment and management for steel production has been constantly advancing. More high strength steel grades such as Q390 steel, Q420, Q460, Q345GJ, Q390GJ, Q420GJ and others are used in domestic large-scale projects, such as CCTV’s new tower, the national swimming center (water cube), Beijing’s international trade building and other large constructions. The leading position of Q235 in constructions has been replaced by Q345 steel in recent years. The quality and strength level of structural steels for buildings and construction has been improved. The current steel material standards for steel structures in China are introduced briefly as follows. “Carbon Structural Steel” GB/T 700 Q235 steel is the most widely used among the carbon structural steels listed in the national standard GB/T 700 “Carbon Structural Steels”. The mechanical properties of Q235 in the 2006 edition almost remain as per the 1988 edition [4]. Table VI shows the mechanical properties of Q235 in the 2006 edition of GB/T 700. 18 Table VI.

Comparing the last version of “High Strength Low Alloy Steels” (GB/T 1591-94) [5] with the current edition (GB/T 1591- 2008) [6] has changed in the following areas: Modified thickness classification; Increase in Q345’s yield strength; The yield strength decrease with thickness has become smaller (the drop of typically 20 MPa reduced to 10 MPa), as seen in Figure 5; The absorbed impact energy of E grade steels increased from 27 Joules to 34 Joules; The CEV and Pcm requirement index added; Lower sulfur and phosphorus content required and increase in allowable niobium and vanadium contents. 19 Q460 Q420 Q390 Q345 Steel Grades D C D C B A D C B A D C B A E E E E Quality Grades Table VIITable 460 420 390 345 ≤16 (mm) or Diameter Thickness Yield Strength R Yield Strength 440 400 370 335 >16~40 .

  • The Design of Akhmat Tower
    E3S Web of Conferences 33, 01022 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20183301022 HRC 2017 The Design of Akhmat Tower Sara Beardsley1, Alejandro Stochetti1, and Marc Cerone1 1Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, 111 West Monroe, Suite 2300, Chicago, Illinois 60603, USA Abstract. Akhmat Tower is a 435m supertall building designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture. It is currently under construction in the city of Grozny, in the Chechen Republic, in the North Caucasus region of Russia. The design of the tower was done during a collaborative process by a multi-disciplinary architectural and engineering team, based primarily in the United States and Russia. During this process, the designers considered many factors including, most primarily, the cultural and historical context, the structural requirements given the high seismicity of the region, and the client’s programmatic needs. The resulting crystalline-shaped tower is both an aesthetic statement and a performative architectural solution which will be a new landmark for Chechnya. “The Design of Akhmat Tower” describes in detail the design process including structural considerations, exterior wall design, building program, interior design, the tuned mass damper, and the use of building information modeling. 1 Introduction In 2014, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG) was commissioned to design a signature tower adjacent to the Suzha river in Grozny, Chechnya - a Republic of Russia located in the north Caucasus region near the Caspian Sea. This tower is to be a new icon specifically for the region – and is named after the first President of Chechen Republic, Akh- mat Haji Kadyrov [1]. The design was done by a team of over one hundred people, based primarily in the United States and Russia, and utilized expertise from architects and engineers with vast experience in super-tall building design.

China has become one of the centers of supertall buildings in the world. Supertall buildings in China are getting taller, more slender, and more complex. The structural design of these buildings focuses on the efficiency of lateral resisting systems and the application of energy dissipation. Furthermore, the research, design, and construction of high- performance materials, pile foundations, and mega-members have made a lot of progress.
