Construction of Structural steel frame buildingStructural forms suitable for buildings in HK7. Composite structure (RC Core plus steel frame, hybridstructure)- building can be lighter than usual RC structure butwith a more acceptable rigidity than pure steelbuildings- construction cost is higher for the adding in of a RCcore which requires a complicated formwork system- it is time consuming and more complicated to makeconnections between the RC and steel elements- It is even more difficult and costly if stiffeningmembers are introduced into the building in order tomake it more rigid to resist deflection- Building examples: Time square, Manual Life Tower,Cheung Kong Center, IFC 1 and 214
