    The Shanghai Tower has 128 floors above ground and is 632 meters tall, making it the second tallest building in the world. It sits on complex soil that required a large foundation system including 980 bored piles that extend 56 meters deep and a 6 meter thick reinforced concrete raft. The raft and piles work together to support the 6710 metric tons of dead and 963 metric tons of live loads exerted by the tower above.

    SHANGHAI TOWER

    BY- ADITI PAWAR AND YADNYAYEE PAWAR


    BASIC INFORMATION

    •The Shanghai Tower is a 632-metre, 128-story megatall skyscraper in Lujiazui, Pudong, Shanghai.
    •Architect – Jun Xia
    •Engineer – Thornton Tomasetti; Cosentini Associates.
    • It has world's second-fastest elevators at a top speed of 20.5 metres per second.
    •Total height – 128 floor above ground and 5 floors below ground , 623 meters .
    •Floor Area – 380,000 m2 .
    •Total 980 foundation piles used .
    SOIL PROPERTIES
    THE SITE FOR THE SHANGHAI TOWER IS IN THE NEW PUDONG DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT OF
    SHANGHAI. THE GROUNDWATER LEVEL IS ABOUT 0.5~1.5 [M] BELOW GROUND LEVEL. THE
    FOUNDATION DEPTH OF THE TOWER IS 31.4 [M] BELOW GROUND LEVEL.GEOTECHNICAL
    INVESTIGATION INDICATES THAT THE GROUND CONDITIONS COMPRISE HORIZONTALLY
    STRATIFIED SUBSURFACE PROFILE WHICH IS COMPLEX AND HIGHLY VARIABLE. THE SUBSOIL
    BELOW THE GROUND LEVEL IS COMPOSED OF CLAY, SILTY CLAY AND SAND, UNDERLAIN BY A
    COMPLETELY DECOMPOSED GRANITE. ACCORDING TO THE SOIL TYPE AND PHYSICAL
    PROPERTIES, THE SUBSOIL IS DIVIDED INTO NINE LAYERS AND FOURTEEN SUB-LAYERS. THE TOP
    LAYER IS THE BEARING LAYER FOR SHALLOW FOUNDATION WHILE THE FIFTH, SEVENTH AND
    NINTH LAYERS ARE THE END-BEARING LAYERS FOR PILES. THE SUBSOIL LAYER UNDER THE RAFT
    UP TO 105 [M] .
    FOUNDATION SYSTEM
    • DIAMETER 121 M, 6 M THICK REINFORCED CONCRETE CIRCULAR PLATFORM.
    •BORED PILE, PILE LENGTH 56M IN THE CORE AREA, 52M IN THE EXTENSION AREA.
     
     TOWER FOUNDATION PITS AREA OF 11,500 SQUARE METERS AND A DEPTH OF ABOUT 31 METERS.
     NON-BEAMED SINGLE BUILDING PIT.

    PILES
     STAGGERED PILE ARRANGEMENT IN LOAD CONCENTRATED AREA.
     ORTHOGONAL SHAPED PILE ARRANGEMENT IN OTHER AREA.
    RAFT
     RAFT THICKNESS IS DETERMINED BY THE STRENGTH OF ANTI-PUNCHING, AND THEN CHECK THE FLEXURAL
    STRENGTH.
     6M THICKNESS(3.7M OF DUBAI KHALĪFA TOWER).
     VARIABLE STIFFNESS DESIGN TO CONTROL SETTLEMENT.
     VARIABLE STIFFNESS ITERATIVE METHOD TO CALCULATE THE RESULTING OF PILE STIFFNESS AFTER THE AMENDED
    MERGER.
    RAFT
    THE RAFT IS DIVIDED INTO TRIANGULAR ELEMENTS WITH A MAXIMUM LENGTH OF 1.5 [M]. PILES
    ARE DIVIDED INTO FIVE ELEMENTS WITH 14 [M] LENGTH.
    LOAD

    THE TOWER FOUNDATION CARRIES A TOTAL DEAD AND LIVE LOADS OF 6710 [MN] AND 963 [MN],
    RESPECTIVELY. THE TOTAL VERTICAL LOAD USED IN CALCULATING THE SETTLEMENT IS 7672
    [MN]. THE COLUMN AND WALL SECTIONS AND LOADS ACTING ON THE PILED RAFT. 
    PILE AND RAFT MATERIAL
    THE CONCRETE GRADE OF THE RAFT AND PILES IS C50. THE FOLLOWING VALUES WERE USED AS
    PILE AND RAFT MATERIAL: 
    MODULUS OF ELASTICITY EP        =          33234              [MN/M2]
    POISSON'S RATIO            VP         =          0.167               [-]
    UNIT WEIGHT                 ΓB         =          23.60               [KN/M3]
