Comparative Analysis of Lifting Loads of Tower Cranesby Core Structure Construction Methods

초록

In tall building construction, the appropriate control of lifting loads on tower cranes is critical in terms of the construction duration of structural works. The adoption of efficient construction methods can be the most effective way of minimizing the inputs of tower cranes and making a lifting plan and management easier. Based on actual data from a tall building project, this study comparatively analyzes lifting loads of tower cranes by the core structure preceding construction method (CSPCM) and the core structure succeeding construction method (CSSCM). The results revealed that the CSSCM could reduce up to about 56.3% of lifting loads for core works and significantly enhance lifting efficiency compared with the CSPCM. Consequently, this enabled a substantial reduction in the construction duration of structural works. This study provides a practical reference to assist engineers and managers in applying efficient construction methods and lifting equipment operation in tall building projects.
