Construction Technology and Benefit Analysis of Fair-Faced Concrete in High-Rise Building

Abstract

As a new kind of concrete construction technology, fair-faced concrete is still not mature and applied widely in China by present. But it was successfully used in China Qingdao Zhuoting plaza project. Its No.1 and No.2 dwelling houses are high-rise buildings with thirty-two stories and their external walls were constructed with fair-faced concrete. As it is the highest fair-faced concrete project in China with 99.95m in height and 370 days construction period through four seasons in a year, the project meets a lot of problems and challenges. So some innovative construction technologies were studied and used which make the project smoothly and successfully completed and get many significant economic, social and environmental benefits.
