Construction of <strong>Structural</strong> steel frame build<strong>in</strong>g<strong>Structural</strong> <strong>for</strong>ms suitable <strong>for</strong> build<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> HK7. Composite structure (RC Core plus steel frame, hybridstructure)- build<strong>in</strong>g can be lighter than usual RC structure butwith a more acceptable rigidity than pure steelbuild<strong>in</strong>gs- construction cost is higher <strong>for</strong> the add<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> of a RCcore which requires a complicated <strong>for</strong>mwork system- it is time consum<strong>in</strong>g and more complicated to makeconnections between the RC and steel elements- It is even more difficult and costly if stiffen<strong>in</strong>gmembers are <strong>in</strong>troduced <strong>in</strong>to the build<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> order tomake it more rigid to resist deflection- Build<strong>in</strong>g examples: Time square, Manual Life Tower,Cheung <strong>Kong</strong> Center, IFC 1 and 214
