How do large buildings move?

Explain the principle of building translation with image metaphor: the building is like a car, the upper rail is equivalent to the chassis, the lower rail is equivalent to the road, the roller is like the wheel of the car, the jack is like the power of the car, and the movement of the building is like the start of the car.

Translation is a construction method that uses the principle of towing engineering and integral towing technology to move the building to the planned position without changing the overall structure and affecting its normal use. It is suitable for any building with brick-concrete and frame structure. Compared with the commonly used new construction method, it has the advantages of maintaining the original appearance, offsetting the cost and shortening the construction period (generally only 2 or 3 months). ...

China leads the world in overall architectural translation technology.

China's overall translation technology of buildings occupies a leading position in the world. Up to now, 40 buildings in China have been translated as a whole, exceeding the sum of translation of foreign buildings.

According to experts, the "overall translation" of the building is to replace the building with a bracket with rollers and tracks at the lower part of the bracket, and then cut off the building from the foundation to make the building form a movable body, and then move it to a fixed new foundation with traction equipment. Take Nanjing Jiangnan Hotel as an example. This star-rated hotel to be relocated is located in the center of Nanjing, with a total construction area of about 5,424 square meters and a total weight of over 8,000 tons. The reason why this 7-story hotel "moved" is to make way for widening the road in front of the hotel, which will be translated by 26 meters. Compared with demolition and reconstruction, its overall translation can reduce the cost by 2/3, and the time will not exceed 3 months. It will take at least two years if this hotel is demolished and rebuilt.

This new technology can also save a lot of building materials and reduce a lot of construction waste, which is a good way to save time and protect the environment.

China's architectural translation technology has been used since 1960s, first in Northeast China and Wuhan, and then widely spread throughout the country. 1997, Nanjing successfully moved a four-story office building 60 meters and turned 90 degrees near Jiangnan Hotel. In the process of translation, due to some special measures, the water and electricity supply of this office building is normal, and the staff has not stopped working for a day.

Hehe, our company moved six buildings. It is understood that at present, Chinese engineers and technicians have newly invented the translation technology of air cushion and liquid cushion, that is, winding a circle of leather tube at the bottom of the building, filling it with gas or liquid to form an air skirt or liquid skirt, and then completing the translation through traction. In this way, many old wooden bridges on Shanghai-Nanjing line 10 were all replaced by reinforced concrete bridges, and the whole construction time only took 1.5 hours. This technology has passed the expert review, adding a new method for the whole translation of buildings in the world.
