| Abstract | Shimizu Corporation Tokyo Headquarter features many pioneering technologies to be the leading office building, which can contribute largely to sustainable societies by achieving both environmentally friendly office building and disaster management facility. In terms of structural engineering, seismic isolation system incorporated with reinforced concrete core walls and precast concrete perimeter frames makes it possible to achieve robust structure in the event of large earthquakes. In addition to seismic resitances of the structure, several pioneering construction methods and materials are adopted. This office building can serve as a basis for design and construction approaches and methodologies to iusure safe and economical structure. |
