[Edit this paragraph] Introduction

Taipei 10 1 is located in Xinyi planning area of Taipei Central Business District. It was developed in BOT mode. It was originally a financial service facility in line with the policy of "Asia-Pacific Operation Center" of Taiwan Province Provincial Office, and was later transformed into a comprehensive commercial building.

Taipei Financial Building Company, initiated by Guo Hong Construction and other private enterprises, obtained the development right of this public land from Taipei Municipal Government in July 1997 (the land ownership still belongs to the government).1In June, 998, the then Taipei Mayor Chen Shui-bian presided over the groundbreaking ceremony.1In July, 999, the main project started. Taipei 10 1 The main girder was put out in July 2003 1 (the main structure was completed). Ma Ying, then the mayor of Taipei, presided over the completion ceremony, and the top of the tower was completed on June 65438+ 10 17, 2003, which made the height of Taipei1KLOC-0/higher than the Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers.

There is a six-story "skirt building" about 60 meters high next to the main building. The main plan is "Taipei 10 1 Mall", which opened on June, 2003165438+1October 4th. The opening dates of other facilities are as follows:

● Main tower (rental office): officially opened on June 5438+February 3, 20041.

● 89th floor indoor observation deck: it was put into trial operation in June 65438+1 October 65438+September, and officially put into operation in March1.

●9 1 floor outdoor observation deck: it was first opened on September 16, 2005.

Taipei 10 1

[Edit this paragraph] Height

The building has 10 1 floors above ground and 5 floors underground. According to the method of judging the height of four types of buildings by CTBUH, Taipei 10 1 has always been the highest among the three standards in the world. Up to now, it still holds the world record of "the tallest steeple" (509 meters) (Guangzhou New TV Tower is expected to be 6 10 meters high including antenna, and is expected to become the second tallest building in the world).

Based on the actual building height, Taipei 10 1 was surpassed by the Burj Dubai (located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates) which was built on July 2 1 day, 2007. However, Burj Dubai can only be regarded as a man-made building structure rather than a skyscraper until it is officially completed or at least some manufacturers and residents move in. Therefore, Taipei 10 1 can still temporarily retain the title of the world's tallest skyscraper until a new rival completes and replaces it. 20 10/0,6543810 On October 4th, due to the completion of Burj Khalifa (828m), Taipei 10 1 retreated from the first place in the world to the second place.

When the building was completed and put into use, the following records were broken:

● The height of the tallest building structure, including the spire: 509 meters, replacing the record of 452 meters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

● Excluding the top height of the spire: 449.2m, replacing the record of 442m of Sears Tower in Chicago (now replaced by Shanghai World Financial Center).

● Highest story: 439.2m, replacing the record of 436m at Sears Tower in Chicago, USA (now replaced by Shanghai World Financial Center).

The records that have not been broken in the four items are:

● Height including antenna tip: This record is still held by Sears Tower, with a total height of 527.3m including antenna. ..

In addition to CTBUH's four appraisal projects, Taipei 10 1 also has the following world first titles:

● Outdoor observation deck of the tallest building: 39 1.8m, 9th1floor.

● The fastest elevator speed: per second16.83m (about 60km per hour).

● The biggest countdown clock on New Year's Eve.

Taipei 10 1 was the tallest skyscraper in the world before 20 10, but it was not the tallest man-made structure. According to Guinness World Records, "the tallest self-supporting building in the world" is the National Television Tower of Canada in Toronto, Canada, with a height of 553.3 meters. Like Taipei 10 1, the title of World National TV Tower was surpassed by Burj Dubai on September 12, 2007.

Many documents record that the height of Taipei 10 1 building is 508.0 meters, including the owner of the building. This data is measured from the height of1.2m.. However, according to CTBUH standards, the height of the foundation should also be included in the total height of the building, becoming 509.2 meters.

[Edit this paragraph] Architecture

Taiwan Province Province is located in the earthquake zone, and there are three small faults in Taibei Basin. In order to build Taipei 10 1, the design of this building must be able to prevent the destruction of strong earthquakes. Moreover, Taiwan Province Province is affected by typhoons formed in the Pacific Ocean every summer, and earthquake and wind prevention are two major problems that Taipei 10 1 building needs to overcome. In order to evaluate the impact of the earthquake on Taipei 10 1, geologist Chen Dousheng began to explore the geological structure near the planned site. A fault with a thickness of 10 1 was found in the No.4 exploration borehole 200 meters away from Taipei. According to these data, Taiwan Province Earthquake Engineering Research Center has established different models to simulate what might happen to buildings when earthquakes occur. Taipei 10 1 In order to increase the flexibility of the building and avoid the damage caused by strong earthquakes, the center is composed of a giant column with eight steel bars around it.

However, good elasticity also makes the building face the impact of breeze, that is, there is a problem of shaking. Damper is the main design to counteract the shaking caused by wind. The sawtooth shape of the building can reduce the shaking caused by wind by 30-40% through wind tunnel test.

The foundation construction project of Taipei 10 1 took a total of 15 months and excavated 700,000 tons of soil. The foundation pile consists of 382 reinforced concrete. The giant column in the middle is a double-tube structure, with an outer steel tube and an inner concrete-filled steel tube. It took about two years to weld the giant columns. There are at least five kinds of steel used in Taipei 10 1, and the strength of specially prepared concrete is 60% stronger than that of ordinary mixed soil.

In order to cope with the shaking caused by high-altitude strong winds and typhoons, "tuned mass dampers" (also known as "tuned mass dampers") were installed in buildings. A huge steel ball weighing 660 metric tons is suspended from the 88th floor to the 92nd floor, and the shaking amplitude of the building is slowed down by shaking. According to the bulletin board of Taipei 10 1, it is also the only giant damper open to tourists in the world and the largest damper in the world at present.

In terms of seismic measures, Taipei 10 1 adopted a new mega-structure. There are two giant pillars on the four outer sides of the building, each with a cross section of 3 meters and a width of 2.4 meters, extending from 5 floors underground to 90 floors above ground. The columns are filled with high-density concrete and covered with steel plates.

Internally, Taipei 10 1 Building adopts the most advanced technology in many contemporary skyscrapers. Optical fiber and satellite network are used in the building, and the highest transmission rate per second can reach 1Gb. In addition, Toshiba Corporation of Japan has made two fastest elevators in the world, which can ascend from the 5th floor to the 89th floor where the observation deck is located in 39 seconds. Visitors can also reach the outdoor observation deck on the 9 1 floor from the stairs.

Height problem 1999 In early 1999, in order to reduce the impact of Taipei1kloc-0/building on flight safety, the Civil Aviation Administration of Taiwan Province Ministry of Communications changed the flight route of commercial flights entering and leaving Songshan Airport. However, considering the safety of aircraft flights entering and leaving Songshan Airport, this problem was solved at the end of 1999, and the project of Taipei1kloc-0/building was extended backward for a certain distance to ensure that the building will remain the tallest building in the world when it is completed in 2003.

[Edit this paragraph] Facilities

office building

The 9th to 84th floors of Taipei 10 1 are rental offices, of which the 35th, 36th, 59th and 60th floors are "Sky Hall", which divides the whole building into three areas: low, middle and high floors. The lobby floor provides convenience stores, post offices, management offices and other facilities, among which the whole family opened on May 19, 2006. There is an international conference center on the 36th floor to provide conference services. The 84th floor is the "Fengyunhui", which is a multifunctional activity place.

The office building adopts the world's first "visitor card issuing system" (VAKS). Designed and manufactured by Siemens, Germany, visitors first contact tenants with a visitor card issuing machine and ask for authorization to enter the building. Tenants can authorize issuing cards after shooting the video files of visitors, and visitors can use temporary visitor cards to enter the building and take the double-decker elevator to reach the visitors' floor. The visitor access card uses magnetic stripe card, and the employee access card of the rental unit uses RFID.

There are 34 double-decker elevators in Taipei Tower 10 1, and the building manager will change three different operation modes according to the number of passengers at different times. Among them, 10 large-capacity elevator goes directly from 1 and the second floor to the fourth floor of the air lobby, which is convenient for passengers to transfer to other regional elevators with smaller capacity in the air lobby.

In addition, an "elevator pre-calling system" is designed, which can specify the floor to be reached by the button outside the elevator before the elevator arrives, without pressing the button in the elevator queue. During non-working hours, employees of the leasing unit must use access cards to start the elevators in the building, so that the elevators can operate and maintain the internal safety of the building. Taipei 10 1 also has an elevator guidance system and an elevator ride display system to facilitate passengers to inquire about elevator related information.

Viewing platform

The 89th floor of Taipei 10 1 is an indoor observation deck, and the 9th floor of Taipei1is an outdoor observation deck. The observation deck ticket office and elevator entrance are located on the fifth floor. * * * There are two elevators that can go directly to the observation deck, which is the fastest elevator in Guinness World Records. Its maximum upward speed can reach 10 10 meters per minute, which is equivalent to 60 kilometers per hour. It takes only 39 seconds from 1 floor to the indoor observation deck on the 89th floor. It takes only 37 seconds from the 5th floor to the 89th floor indoor observation deck. The maximum speed of descending can reach 600 meters per minute, and it takes only 46 seconds to go from the 89th floor to the 5th floor and 48 seconds to 1 building. In addition, it is also the longest indoor elevator in the world. The elevator was planned by Lerch Bates United Company, an American elevator consulting company, and manufactured by Toshiba Company in cooperation with Zhongyou Company of Taiwan Province Province. The model of this elevator is displayed on the indoor observation deck on the 89th floor.

Passengers need to buy tickets in the building and then take the elevator to the indoor observation deck on the 89th floor. If you need to go to the outdoor observation deck on the 9 1 floor, you need to reach the 89th floor and then buy a ticket separately to enter. The observation deck provides high-powered binoculars overlooking the scenery of Taipei. In addition, there are multilingual voice guides.
