This 22-story residential building includes a structural system of cast-in-place reinforced concrete slabs supported by reinforced concrete columns and shear walls. The foundation is reinforced concrete mat. Challenges to the design included extensive analysis of the building behavior under wind and seismic forces and high slenderness ratio exceeding 10:1. Due to the high slenderness, a special lateral system design and column hardening / key element analysis was required.
