Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, with the development of technology and engineering, the construction industry has increasingly developed towards industrialization, intelligence, and greenery. In the design or construction process of large building structures, by using innovative design concepts and advanced construction techniques, these building structures can be more stable, safe, and durable. Concrete 3D printing technology, BIM technology, modular design, adaptive architecture, and optimization design based on refined safety guidelines have become reliable means for the innovative safety design or construction of building structures.

This Special Issue, entitled Advanced Structural Technology in Buildings, will provide an overview of existing knowledge on new design/construction technology for building structures. Original research, theoretical and experimental studies, case studies, and comprehensive review papers are invited for possible publication. Relevant topics to this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

  • The modeling and simulation of building structures;
  • The high-performance analysis of structures;
  • Structural optimization;
  • Advanced design and construction technology;
  • Intelligent construction technology.

This paper proposes the structural design and calculation model of stepped three-row pile and verifies its antioverturning and antisliding stability, based on the Xinghe Yabao deep foundation pit project in Shenzhen, China. The three-row pile model is constructed using finite element software, and the force and deformation of the piles are analyzed. The influence of the direction of the prestressing anchors on the support effect of the three-row pile is investigated by simulating the prestressing anchors in three directions: oblique, horizontal, and vertical. The results show that the combined support effect of the oblique anchor and the three-row pile is the most effective, resulting in the smallest deformation, followed by the horizontal anchor, and the vertical anchor produces the largest deformation. Finally, the innovative construction method of the three-row pile removal and the basement top-down construction method is proposed. The three-dimensional model of the tower building and the basement is established by the finite element software to simulate the structural grading load and the cooperative construction of the supporting structure and the basement structure. The research results have greater engineering application value and significant economic benefits, which could provide reference and guidance for the design and construction of deep foundation pits in similar projects.

The glass curtain walls of post-installed elevator shafts in existing buildings can be damaged by local wind loads, and the serviceability of an elevator may be affected by excessive overall wind loads, especially in hurricane-prone areas. The overall and local wind load characteristics of elevator shafts with different arrangements (E-type, H-type, I-type) were studied using wind tunnel tests and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulations. Firstly, high-frequency base balance wind tunnel tests of these elevator shafts with three arrangements were carried out to obtain the overall wind loads on the elevator shafts. Secondly, a CFD simulation was performed on the post-installed elevator shafts with three arrangements, obtaining the surface local wind pressure distribution of the elevator shafts under different wind directions. Finally, the wind-induced displacement responses of post-installed elevator shafts were analyzed. The results show that the aerodynamic interference of different elevator arrangements (E-type, H-type, I-type) and wind directions have significant effects on the overall local wind loads and wind-induced responses of the post-installed elevator, while the local wind loads on the area of the elevator door are less influenced by the elevator arrangement type than local wind loads on the surface and the overall wind loads of the elevator shafts. The results and conclusions may be helpful for developing the wind-resistant design of a post-installed elevator shaft. Full article
