b) Challenges in Design
As the floor plates change in size and rotate about its center, and as internal columns are prohibited
in the design, the use and placement of external columns would become a problem. To overcome this
problem another vertical load resisting system is needed. The plan is to located internal shear walls
for the first 21 floors. The shear walls will not be considered as internal columns as they will also have
the purpose to partition shops and offices. The shear walls will be tapered as the floor plates change
size. For floors 22 to 60 a truss and cable system is used, this system will have the floors suspended.

The location and position of the truss was also a challenge. The floor location of the truss had to be
strategic, so that the living space can be at a maximum. As the height of the truss is approximately 8
metres it would have to be accommodated between two floors. It was decided that the truss would be
located at every 6 to 8 floors, in the mechanical, engine floors and the garden floors. The truss is
position in such a way that it doesn’t block the entrances to the central core.

Since the floor plate change in size and rotate, determining the positions of the beams were a
challenge because they would not all be the same for different levels. The span of the secondary and
primary beams varies throughout the building.

2. Loads
a) Load Path

The building is divided into two vertical resisting elements. The first 21 floors resist the vertical gravity
loads with internal shear walls and the central core. The floors above level 21 up to 60 are suspended
by cables. From figure 2.1 the loads travel through the slab to the secondary beam then the primary
beam, it is then transferred down the shear wall and central core to the foundation. In the truss and
cable system, shown in figure 2.2, the loads are transferred through the slab to the secondary beams
and then are transferred either up the cable or directly down central core. The loads will then be
transferred from the cable to the truss, and then directly down the central core.

3. Preliminary Sizes
a) Beam

The beam elements will be reinforced concrete with a characteristic strength of 50 MPa. The width
of all concrete beams will be 2400 mm. This will help in the reduction of the slab span.

Figure 3.1. Level 2 Floor Plan with Secondary Beam Catchment Area (Area 1 = green; Beam = BS1 &
BP1).

The catchment area for the secondary beam shown on figure 1 is 107.4 m2, and the average
catchment length is 4.5 m. As the second level is the largest, 4.5 m will be used as the catchment
length for all the secondary beams from floors 1 to 21, this will simplify the calculation done on
analysing the secondary beams. The average ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state pressure
applied on any level is 22.1 kPa and 16.7 kPa respectively.

The idealization of secondary beam 2 (BS2) is shown below. A uniformly distributed load of 99.45
kN/m is applied to the structure.

b) Slab

The building will have one-way reinforced concrete slabs. The direction of the one-way slab is shown
in figures below (figure 3.11 & 3.12). As we are using band beams of width 2.4 metres the total span
of the slab will be reduced, resulting in a maximum span of 4 metres for the floor 1 to 21.

c) Shear Wall

Figure 3.13 Level 3 Floor Plan with Shear Wall Catchment Area (C.Area 1 = blue; C.Area 2=Purple; and
C.Area 3 = Red)

For level 1 – 21, the gravity lateral system adopted is the combination of Core wall and external and
internal shear wall systems. The external shear wall system follows the shape of the floor which is
getting smaller as the floor level is higher. The internal shear wall connected to the core wall is
designed to reduce the beam span and depth as well as helping in carrying the gravity load. Since the
length of the wall has been determined, the thickness of the wall can be designed using the simplified
method wall given in Clause 11.5 AS3600. The high strength concrete, 80 MPa, for both external and
internal shear wall is also used to minimize the wall thickness and give more space and flexibility for
interior design. The preliminary size calculation can be seen in table 3.6. and 3.7.

Figure 4.1 and 4.2 above are the example of the hung floor technique system used to support the
gravity load for floor plate level 22-60. A simply supported truss is connected to the core wall and high
strength steel cables are run from the truss supporting 6 – 8 floor plates below. The gravity load on
each floor is transferred to the steel cables and vertically transferred to the truss for the internal cables
(Fy2) (shown in Figure 4.1). However, since the external cable is inclined (around 10.6o), the tension
force on the cable (T) will exert a Horizontal force which will be transferred to the floor slab (Fx1); while
the vertical force (Fy1) is vertically transferred to the truss as shown in figure 3.2. In general, Titania
tower adopts 5 sets of hung floor technique system and each truss is 8 m height and located on every
garden and Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) floor of the building. For a design purpose, the hung
floor technique located on level 52 – 45 is selected to analyze since it has less truss numbers
compare to level 60 – 53 truss system, thus larger catchment area, and more floors to support
compare to others. The analysis will be performed in SpaceGass in 2D form analysis.

a) Design Load and Action

Assumptions:

• To simplify the calculation, the Catchment Area for Cable 1(C.Area 1) and Cable 2 (C.Area2)
are assumed to be the same for all floors (as seen in figure 3.1). The catchment area for
cable 1 and 2 is 31.2 m2 and 98.4 m2
C. Area 1 = 12 m x 2.6 = 31.2 m2
C. Area 2 = 12 m x (5.6 + 2.6) = 98.4 m2
• The Horizontal force exerted due to the inclined of external cable is resisted by an equivalent
horizontal force which is transferred to slab of every floor as seen in figure 2.
• Taking Average: 1. ULS pressure = 22.1 kPa
2. SLS pressure = 17.6 kPa

Load Carried by Cable 1 (C1):

Fy1 per flor (ULS) = ULS Pressure x C.Area 1 = 22.1 kPa x 31.2 m2 = 686.4 kN per floor

Fy1 per flor (SLS) = SLS Pressure x C.Area 1 = 17.6 kPa x 31.2 m2 = 549.12 kN per floor

To avoid high bending moment transferred, the truss system is simply supported connected to the
core wall (as shown in figure 4.3). This connection can be detailed by bolting a cleat plate on the face
of the core wall and fixing the truss on the top of the plates (as seen in figure 4.6). However, this type
of connection will result to a bending moment due to high eccentricity occurred. The reinforcement
bars placed in the shear wall will essentially help in resisting the tension failure due to the bending.
Apart from that, the slab sits on the top chord of the truss aids to prevent the truss from the lateral
torsional buckling of the truss due to slenderness of the members. The bottom chords of the truss can
also be connected to the slab using steel fly bracing.

The truss is made of steel with minimum yield stress is 400 MPa since the member has maximum
stress of 398 MPa (as shown in table 3.2). On the other hand, the cross section of the truss members
can be designed by limiting the deflection to 148.8 m (Lmax/125) and performing a trial and error until
the deflection shown is below the limit. The cross section used for the truss system is RHS
(Rectangular Hollow Section) with Depth: 600 mm; Width: 450 mm; and thickness: 150 mm (Figure
3.5). The reason of the use of rectangular hollow section is due to its more effective area and less
depth required compare to the I-section of Universal Beam or Column. Furthermore, this cross section
shape and dimension will be applied to all truss set systems in the building.
