Abstract:
Recent study and application of high strength material to high-rise buildings in Japan are discussed. Since the 1980’s, the demand for high-rise buildings especially for residential use in urban areas has continued to increase, because of the increase in the population shift from suburban to urban areas. Affected by this demand, high strength materials were developed. As a result of many studies of structural experiments and precast construction methods using high strength materials, many high-rise RC buildings have been designed and constructed in Japan. Also, in order to make structural seismic performance higher, hinge relocation system had been developed and applied to a high-rise building.
