Structural Strengthening & Concrete Replacement

Concrete Replacement in a High-Rise Office Building, Shandong

Selected frame columns in a 24-storey office building did not meet the specified concrete strength. Staged replacement and structural stress transfer were adopted.

Location
Shandong
Recorded area
44,357.90 m² (original total floor area)

Client requirement

Strengthening design and construction addressed insufficient concrete strength in selected frame columns.

Engineering challenge

Member replacement redistributes forces. Composite action between new and existing concrete and the safety of adjacent members during construction required attention.

Technical approach

Site testing and structural analysis informed staged replacement. Unloading supports at connecting beams, stress-transfer techniques and precision force measurement supported construction control.

Project value

The project connects structural analysis, unloading support and process measurement when replacing load-bearing members in a high-rise building.
