00:00If you build a skyscraper in Pudong, Shanghai in the 1990s, you can show the world China's
00:04determination to reform and open up.
00:07To reflect the oriental charm, you take inspiration from the cascading shape of ancient Chinese
00:12dense rock towers, and design the building as a stepped contour that rises up 13 times,
00:19like a silver tower that pierces into the sky, embodying the concept of the unity of
00:23heaven and man in our country's traditional culture.
00:27But like the impact of tofu, the plains cannot bear such a huge weight.
00:31So you drive hundreds of concrete piles into the ground, reaching the hard soil layer, and
00:36pour a huge concrete platform on it as the foundation of the entire building.
00:41In order to make the building stand firmly and withstand the thrust of wind and earthquakes,
00:46you built a solid octagonal steel and concrete core barrel in the center of the building,
00:50and symmetrically set up eight giant reinforced concrete columns and eight corner columns
00:55around it, forming a rigid and flexible barrel-in-barrel structure.
00:59If you add three overhanging transverse frames on the outside of the building and connect
01:03them with the outer saw columns as a whole, even in strong winds, the connection points
01:08of the overhanging transverse frames can disperse the force and fundamentally improve the building's
01:13wind and earthquake resistance.
01:15To solve the vertical traffic problem, you can configure an elevator that can reach nine
01:20meters per second in the core bucket and reach the panoramic observation hall on the top
01:2488th floor in only 45 seconds.
01:28Congratulations on inventing Shanghai Jinmao Tower.
01:30Become working on the Eis baptist.

01:33See you next time.
