Composite frame system called Reinforced Concrete Steel Tube (RCST) system

Shimizu Corporation – Japan

The RCST system consists of concrete-filled steel-tube columns, H-shaped steel beams and beam-column joints with steel cover plates for confinement.

Office building in Nove Lima

Engineer appointed by Gerdau – Brazil

The composite solution was chosen considering not only the optimized best technical solution (building height, gravitational/lateral forces applied, lateral resistance system adopted), but also the total cost, erection time-consuming and time to get the raw material from providers as well.

Office building in Texas

John Hopkins University – United States

A unique system of beams linked to a core shear wall, and exterior bundled columns were adopted to support the height of the building (it was the tallest composite building in the world when it was completed in 1980) and address various structural challenges, such as the natural tendency of the tube perimeter frame to warp.

Algorithm to modify the geometric characteristics of a composite steel trussed-concrete beams (CSTCB)

Iuav University of Venice – Italy

The research represented in this report deals with a very common structural element in Italy and in many European countries, developed on the basis of a patent issued in 1962: Composite Steel Trussed-Concrete Beams (CSTCB).

Office building in Madrid

MC2 Ingeniería – Spain

The building is an office tower part of a 4-tower development in a prominent area of Madrid.

Shopping center in Taguatinga

The composite solution was chosen considering the optimized best technical solution.

Office building in Sydney (One Shelley Street building)

UNSW, Sydney – Australia

The One Shelley Street building in Sydney was completed in 2010 and is best known for utilising an extremely efficient steel diagrid perimeter structure to eliminate the need for internal columns and to minimise the use of internal structural cores.

Office building in New York (Hearst Tower)

John Hopkins University – United States

The diagrid system and concrete filled steel tubes were adopted to design a renewal of the landmark Hearst Tower (first built in 1928) with the use of a diagrid system to address new seismic requirements.

Office building in Sydney (Grosvenor Place building)

UNSW, Sydney – Australia

The Grosvenor Place building is an iconic building located on the northern part of George Street, Sydney which is on the border of the financial and rocks districts.
