STRUCTURAL DESIGN

GRAVITY LOAD
Gravity loads are carried vertically by a variety of columns.
Within the core, sixteen columns are located at the crossing points
of four lines of bracing in each direction. The columns are box
sections constructed of steel plates, filled with concrete for added
strength as well as stiffness at the 62nd floor and below.
On the perimeter, up to the 26th floor, each of the four building
faces has two super-columns, two sub-supercolumns, and two
corner columns.
Above the 26th floor has the two super-columns continue
upward.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN

LATERAL LOAD

Lateral forces are resisted through a combination of braced

frames in the core, outriggers from core to perimeter
supercolumns and moment resisting frames in the perimeter and

other selected locations.

Wind Dampers are used to reduce lateral vibrations due to wind.
