Project Challenges: Double Impact of Typhoons and Earthquakes The coal storage bunker of Power Plant in the Philippines has been facing tests from extreme natural conditions since the planning stage: Climate Challenge : Located in a super typhoon zone with wind speeds of up to 260 kilometers per hour, it withstands fierce storms and heavy rains every year. Geological Threat : Situated in a high seismic intensity zone with Z=0.4, the structural stability must be absolutely guaranteed. Cost Pressure : The client requires strict control over overseas construction costs while ensuring safety, and also demands controllable construction periods. Ultra-Large Scale : With a total height of 48.675 meters and a foundation height of 3.0 meters, the long-span dome design poses a great challenge to structural strength for industrial projects. Solutions: Comprehensive Upgrades from Design to Materials Targeting these pain points, our overseas engineering team has tailor-made a combined solu...

What are the challenges in structural design for irregularly shaped buildings?

The structural design of non-standard geometric buildings represents the most critical and challenging aspect of their realization. The difficulties extend far beyond merely “how to make it stand,” permeating the entire process from concept development and calculations through construction and use. Below are the primary challenges in the structural design of non-standard geometric buildings, presented in order from core to derivative issues: 1. Core Mechanical Challenge: Non-Standard Load Paths In traditional buildings (such as rectangular boxes), load transfer paths are clear and direct: floor slab → beam → column → foundation → ground. Forces are primarily transmitted vertically downward. In contrast, load paths in irregularly shaped structures are often highly complex and convoluted. Challenge: Forces do not obediently travel straight downward. They “detour” through curved surfaces, diagonal bracing, and irregular grids, generating massive torsional forces, bending moments, and hor...
