Development of high-rise buildings: digitalization of life cycle management

The analysis of the accumulated long-term experience in the construction and operation of high-rise buildings reveals not only the engineering specificity of such projects, but also systemic problems in the field of project management. Most of the project decisions are made by the developer and the investor in the early stages of the life cycle - from the acquisition of the site to the start of operation, so most of the participants in the construction and operation of the high-rise building are far from the strategic life-cycle management of the project. The solution of these tasks due to the informatization of management has largely exhausted its efficiency resource. This is due to the fact that the applied IT-systems automated traditional "inherited" processes and management structures, and, in addition, they were focused on informatization of the activities of the construction company, rather than the construction project. Therefore, in the development of high-rise buildings, the tasks of researching approaches and methods for managing the full life cycle of projects that will improve their competitiveness become topical. For this purpose, the article substantiates the most promising approaches and methods of informational modeling of high-rise construction as a basis for managing the full life cycle of this project. Reengineering of information interaction schemes for project participants is considered; formation of a unified digital environment for the life cycle of the project; the development of systems for integrating data management and project management.

Organizing vertical layout environments: a forward-looking development strategy for high-rise building projects

The article highlights issues surrounding development of high rise buildings. With the rapid increase of the global population there has been a trend for people to migrate into megacities and has caused the expansion of big city territories. This trend, coupled with the desire for a comfortable living environment, has resulted in numerous problems plaguing the megacity. This article proposes that a viable solution to the problems facing megacities is to create vertical layout environments. Potential options for creating vertical layout environments are set out below including the construction of buildings with atriums. Further, the article puts forth suggested spatial organization of the environment as well as optimal landscaping of high-rise buildings and constructions for the creation of vertical layout environments. Finally, the persuasive reasons for the adoption of vertical layout environments is that it will decrease the amount of developed urban areas, decrease traffic and increase environmental sustainability.

ИНФОРМАЦИОННОЕ МОДЕЛИРОВАНИЕ ЖИЗНЕННОГО ЦИКЛА ПРОЕКТОВ ВЫСОТНОГО СТРОИТЕЛЬСТВА

To date, many years’ experience in the construction and operation of high-rise buildings has been accumulated. Its analysis reveals not only the engineering and organizational-technological specifics of such projects, but also systemic gaps in the field of management. In the implementation of large-scale and unique projects for high-rise buildings, the problems and tasks of improving approaches to managing the full life cycle of projects and methods, which will improve their competitiveness, become topical. The systems being used have largely exhausted their resource efficiency, which is associated with automation of traditional “inherited” processes and management structures, as well as development of IT-systems focused on digitalization of the activities of construction company, rather than the project. To solve these problems, it is proposed to carry out: reengineering of the schemes of information interaction between the project’s participants; formation of integrated digital environment for the life cycle of the project; development of systems for integrating data management and project management. Subject: problems, approaches and methods of digitalization of project’s life cycle management in relation to the specifics and features of high-rise buildings. Research objectives: substantiation of the most perspective approaches and methods of information modeling of high-rise construction as the basis for managing the full life cycle of the given project. Materials and methods: the experience of digitalization of design, construction, operation and development of high-rise buildings, presented in specialized literature, is analyzed. The methods for integrating information models of various stages of project’s life cycle and for information interaction of project’s participants are considered. Results: the concept of forming a single digital environment for the project is proposed, taking into account the features of the life cycle of high-rise buildings, which, unlike the systems being currently used, is not targeted at the company or production but on the project. The topicality of organizational reengineering of schemes of information interaction between the project’s participants is substantiated. It is shown that consolidation of methods and technologies for data management and project management should become the basis for strategic management of the project’s full life cycle. Conclusions: analysis of the accumulated experience in the development of unique and large-scale projects of high-rise buildings shows that managing the life cycle of the high-rise development project is a topical and unsolved problem that requires serious scientific and project research. The existing concepts and schemes for the project’s life cycle management and the interaction between all participants of the high-rise construction project should be substantially modernized taking into account the use of capabilities of digital modeling of the project (BIM - Building Information Modeling) together with technologies for support of its life cycle (Continuous Acquisition and Life Cycle Support). At the same time, the development of an integrated information environment for the project’s life cycle should be based on the integration of data management and project management, which will ensure a multiple increase in the efficiency and competitiveness of a high-rise building project at all stages of its life cycle.

The architecture and artistic features of high-rise buildings in USSR and the United States of America during the first half of the twentieth century

Skyscraper is a significant architectural structure in the world's largest cities. The appearance of a skyscraper in the city's architectural composition enhances its status, introduces dynamics into the shape of the city, modernizes the existing environment. Its architectural structure which can have both expressive triumphal forms and ascetic ones. For a deep understanding of the architecture of high-rise buildings must be considered by several criteria. Various approaches can be found in the competitive development of high-rise buildings in Moscow and the US cities in the middle of the twentieth century In this article we will consider how and on the basis of what the architectural decisions of high-rise buildings were formed.

Collaborative development: Capturing the public value in private real estate development projects in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

This article addresses a relative gap in the literature on real estate development and property rights in transitional economies, particularly on the “shadow” role of private developers in urban management at the local level. The paper argues that the development of high-rise buildings in Vietnam resulted from the national privatization policy shift known as Doi Moi that gave landowners greater rights. These changes in land rights policy are important constitutive elements for institutional functionality of value capture via privatization of land, to become viable and effective. Further, the paper describes how private developers (foreign and domestic) take advantage of vague and indistinct city governance regarding privatization of land, while the property rights of the original users of the land are insufficiently protected. These issues are illuminated and analyzed through the use of three case studies of commercial projects in Ho Chi Minh City. We suggest a further institutionalization of privatization of land and value capture in Vietnam.

SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT MODELING METHODOLOGY APPLICATION POSSIBILITIES IN VILNIUS / ERDVINĖS PLĖTROS MODELIAVIMO METODOLOGIJŲ TAIKYMO GALIMYBĖS VILNIAUS MIESTE

In order to control the continued development of high-rise buildings and their irreversible visual impact on the overall silhouette of the city, the great cities of the world introduced new methodological principles to city’s spatial development models. These methodologies and spatial planning guidelines are focused not only on the controlled development of high-rise buildings, but on the spatial modelling of the whole city by defining main development criteria and estimating possible consequences. Vilnius city is no exception, however the re-establishment of independence of Lithuania caused uncontrolled urbanization process, so most of the city development regulations emerged as a consequence of unmanaged processes of investors’ expectations legalization. The importance of consistent urban fabric as well as conservation and representation of city’s most important objects gained attention only when an actual threat of overshadowing them with new architecture along with unmanaged urbanization in the city center or urban sprawl at suburbia, caused by land-use projects, had emerged. Current Vilnius’ spatial planning documents clearly define urban structure and key development principles, however the definitions are relatively abstract, causing uniform building coverage requirements for territories with distinct qualities and simplifying planar designs which do not meet quality standards. The overall quality of urban architecture is not regulated. The article deals with current spatial modeling methods, their individual parts, principles, the criteria for quality assessment and their applicability in Vilnius. The text contains an outline of possible building coverage regulations and impact assessment criteria for new development. The article contains a compendium of requirements for high-quality spatial planning and building design. Didieji pasaulio miestai, norėdami suvaldyti XXI a. prasidėjusią ir iki šiol besitęsiančią aukštybinių pastatų plėtrą, kuri sukėlė negrįžtamą vizualinį poveikį bendram miesto siluetui, pradėjo taikyti naujausius erdvinės plėtros modeliavimo metodologinius principus miesto erdvinei plėtrai formuoti. Šios metodologijos, sukurtos planavimo gairės yra orientuotos ne tik į aukštybinių pastatų plėtros suvaldymą mieste, bet į viso miesto erdvinį modeliavimą numatant pagrindinius plėtros kriterijus ir įvertinant galimas pasekmes. Vilniaus miestas šiuo atveju nėra išimtis, tačiau atkūrus nepriklausomybę, prasidėjus nevaldomiems urbanizacijos procesams dauguma miesto plėtrą reglamentuojančių dokumentų atsirado kaip nesuvaldomų procesų įteisinant investuotojų lūkesčius pasekmė. Apie miesto kaip vientiso urbanistinio audinio formavimą, jo svarbiausių, vertingiausių objektų išsaugojimą ir reprezentavimą buvo pradėta galvoti tik tada, kai atsirado reali jų nustelbimo nauja architektūra grėsmė, urbanizacijos procesai ne tik miesto centre, bet ir jo pakraščiuose tapo nevaldomi, nulemti žemėtvarkos projektų. Dabartiniai Vilniaus mieste galiojantys teritorijų planavimo dokumentai, nors ir aiškiai apibrėžia miesto struktūros ypatumus ir galimus statybos principus, tačiau yra palyginti abstraktūs, galutiniai reglamentai niveliuoja užstatymą skirtingus požymius turinčiose teritorijose, pateikiami supaprastinti planiniai sprendiniai, kurie negarantuoja kokybiško galutinio rezultato. Urbanistinė architektūrinė kokybė nėra reglamentuojama. Straipsnyje nagrinėjamos esamų erdvinio modeliavimo metodologijų, atskirų jų dalių, principų, vertinimo kriterijų taikymo galimybės Vilniaus mieste. Įvardijama, kokiame miesto sistemos planavimo etape šios metodikos ir miesto planavimo principai, atlikti tyrimai gali būti taikomi praktiškai. Taip pat įvardijami galimi užstatymo rodiklių reglamentavimo bei pasekmių vertinimo kriterijai naujai plėtrai. Pateikiamas kokybiško teritorijų planavimo ir pastatų projektavimo reikalavimų sąvadas.

Review On High-Rise Housing Projects in Istanbul: Toward A Sustainable Architecture

Emerging with population growth and developing technology as a result of industrial revolution, rapid and unplanned process of urbanization has led to rapid depletion of natural resources in the physical and biological environment. In consequence of urbanization, lack of urban land and accordingly excessive rise of land prices has resulted in vertical construction. In the phases of design, construction, use and demolition, high-rise buildings, consuming much more energy than low-rise buildings, have led to significant changes in the city skyline with increasing numbers of them. In this context, the concept of sustainability matters to efficiently benefit from high-rise structures and to minimize the degree of damage to the natural environment. With the rise of vertically dense structuring in the world, high-rise buildings have become more questionable and requested the answers of how the buildings can be designed to care of human needs. Therefore, green building practices paying attention to ecological data have entered as an important parameter of vertically dense building design. Resulting from such reasons as diversifying and increasing user requirements in recent years, developing construction technologies, increasing of the density in urban centers and the rise in the land values, the number of high-rise buildings has begun to increase rapidly. Green building designs, being important input for the vertically dense housing design and its derivatives are among the images and discourses used as a marketing strategy. A significant part of construction projects in Istanbul, claims that they place emphasis on the use of natural building materials and energy efficiency to associate themselves with sustainability discourses. The developers of these projects use LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) or similar international green building certifications as a tool of presentation and promotion of the project. For many segments of society, sustainability is transformed into a perception management gathering terms, such as green technology, renewable energy and smart building. In this respect, the paper aims to evaluate the development of high-rise buildings in Istanbul on Metrocity Millennium Towers (2001), Sapphire (2006) and Varyap Meridian (2009) projects in the context of sustainability principles and practices. These projects describe three different processes and applications of sustainability. The main aim of the paper to discuss the efforts of transformation from solid structures to sustainable buildings based on various images and discourses related to high-rise building projects.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.sace.18.1.16598

Experimental Study on Seismic Behavior of Full Encased Steel-Concrete Composite Columns

AbstractWith the rapid development of high-rise buildings in China, the steel-concrete composite structure is widely used because of its excellent seismic performance. So far, all of the high-rise buildings that rise more than 300 m in China are of a steel-concrete composite structure, which are designed based on Chinese codes. During the construction process, two main problems are encountered, as follows: (1) minimum stirrup ratio, and (2) embedded depth ratio for steel-concrete composite columns, which are strictly limited by Chinese codes. To solve those problems, 26 steel-concrete composite columns were tested under low cyclic reversed loading to simulate an earthquake load. By analyzing the failure patterns, hysteresis loops, skeleton curves, energy-dissipation capacity, and ductility of such specimens, the influence of the axial compression ratio, stirrup ratio, steel section shape, and steel embedded depth ratio on the seismic behavior of steel-concrete composite members are discussed.
