The Zhaoshang City Plaza is 99.7 m high, and it has 33 floors over ground and 2 floors under ground. The irregular structural plane and discontinuous vertical resisting system are beyond the limitation of code. The overall structural behavior was obtained by ETABS and SATWE, and both results agree well with each other. The stress developed in encased steel concrete column was calculated by ABAQUS, and confirming the stress requirement was satisfied. Some design issues were introduced, including wind load, earthquake load, natural vibration properties, and aseismatic measures adopted by this project. Finally, the safety of the structure is ensured by thorough structural analysis.
