Recently, the Ping An Finance Centre, the second tallest building in the world and the tallest in China, has reached the 88th floor, exceeding 410 meters in height. The building, which is general contracted by China Construction First Engineering Bureau (Group) Co., Ltd. and has its steel structure constructed by China Construction Steel Structure Co., Ltd., forms a stunning skyline alongside Shenzhen’s Di Wang Building and Kingkey 100. It is understood that the steel structure of Ping An Finance Centre uses approximately 100,000 tons of steel, four times that of the Shenzhen Di Wang Building. Construction is currently proceeding at a rapid pace, with floors being completed as quickly as every four days. As the building continues to rise, it is expected to surpass 450 meters by late June 2014.

[Core Tip] Topics such as the green and sustainable development path of new urbanization construction, and the in-depth cooperation and alliances of building industry chain enterprises. According to industry insiders, the industrialization of construction can effectively promote in-depth cooperation and alliances among industry chain enterprises, helping enterprises open up new markets.

Steel structures offer numerous advantages over traditional concrete and masonry structures. They are stable, lightweight, high-strength, and boast excellent seismic performance. Fabrication can be done off-site in factories, leading to high-precision assembly, faster construction, and shorter project durations. They are also considered “green buildings,” with low initial costs, recyclable and reusable materials, and are energy, land, and water efficient. As an eco-friendly building material, steel-structured homes have been designated a key promotion project by the Ministry of Construction in recent years. However, this excellent building structure has one fatal flaw: poor fire resistance.

With the rapid advancement of urbanization, the burgeoning population in cities has created an urgent need for housing. Industrialized steel-structured housing will become the first choice. Authoritative departments predict that by 2015, steel-structured housing will account for 15%-20% of the total housing construction in the country. For nearly 20 years, the development and construction of steel-structured housing in China has been difficult, with low market penetration and annual construction volume less than 1%. In particular, the significant loss of life and property caused by the Tangshan, Wenchuan, and Yushu earthquakes has challenged China's housing construction system and structural safety performance. The excellent earthquake resistance and numerous advantages of steel-structured housing are evident.

I. The primary control target has shifted to ensuring market demand for steel structures. Since the second half of last year, the continued decline in various macroeconomic indicators has caused concern and worry among decision-making departments. Statistical data show that GDP has been declining quarter by quarter for more than a year, with cumulative growth of 9.2% in 2011, a decrease of 1.2 percentage points compared to the previous year. Fixed asset investment and industrial added value have also experienced a significant decline. The actual growth rate of fixed asset investment in 2011 (excluding the price increase of investment goods) was only 16.1%, far lower than the previous growth rate of more than 20%; the industrial added value in December last year fell to...

According to a report by China News Service, Qiu Baoxing, vice minister of China's Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, stated on October 21 that China's urban construction has many shortcomings: roads and intersections all look the same, building styles are similar, landmark buildings lack cultural heritage, squares are large and impractical, historical blocks are demolished indiscriminately, flood control standards are raised blindly without regard for cultural preservation, and urban edges are dirty, messy, and unfriendly. He said, "If all towns follow the same model, that's very dangerous." Qiu Baoxing further commented: "Our next generation, standing on a tall building, looking at the Yangtze River to the north and south, will see that all towns follow the same model."

During my tenure as the Party Secretary at the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences, through several investigations, I felt that the work of the Environmental Engineering Assessment Center (hereinafter referred to as the "Assessment Center") under the Ministry of Environmental Protection was extremely important. It serves as a technical support unit for government management departments in reviewing construction projects. Construction project environmental management refers to the activities undertaken by the state to supervise and manage development and construction activities using various means to avoid or reduce the adverse impacts of these projects on the environment. It is an important component of national environmental management. Therefore, through investigations, I proposed the strengthening of the Assessment Center, to develop and expand it from its previous status as a department within the Research Academy...

In 2011, China's steel production reached a record high of 627 million tons. With unprecedented pressure to conserve energy and reduce emissions, and the advocacy of a low-carbon economy and sustainable development, steel-structured housing has received widespread attention from all sectors of society. During this year's Two Sessions, many representatives offered suggestions on promoting the development of steel-structured housing. What are the actual values of steel-structured housing? Let's do some calculations on steel structures. Achieving low-carbon construction and sustainable development of residential buildings Steel-structured housing is a green building of the 21st century and an effective way for China to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable development.
