Tokyo will build the world's tallest TV tower on September 27, 1998. The tallest independent tower in Japan is 13 meters above the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. The building materials used are half of the Eiffel Tower. One third of the construction time to the Eiffel Tower shocked the world at the time. It is a reinforced concrete structure, which has the advantages of firmness, durability, good fire resistance, steel saving and low cost compared with pure steel structure.

No.6: Chicago Sears Tower

The Sears Tower, also called to the Willis Group Building, is a skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois, USA. It was once the tallest building in North America and was recorded on November 12, 2013 by the World Trade Center Building No. 1. At the time of its completion, it was named Sears Tower. In 2009, the London-based insurance brokerage company, Willis Group, agreed to rent a large proportion of the building as an office building, and at the same time obtained the building as part of the contract. Naming rights. On July 16, 2009, at 10:00, the official name of the building was officially changed to the Weilai Group Building. The Sears Tower has 110 floors and was once the tallest office building in the world. About 1.65 people go to work every day. On the 103rd floor, there is a watchtower for tourists to overlook the city. It is 412 meters above the ground and can be seen in four states in the United States when the weather is fine.

The building uses steel structure frame to form a beam structure. The whole building is regarded as a cantilevered beam space structure. The farther away from the ground, the smaller the shear force, the vibration at the top of the building caused by wind pressure is also significantly reduced. This greatly enhances the building's rigidity and ability to resist lateral forces.

No.5: Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers

The Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers used to be the tallest skyscraper in the world, but it is still the tallest twin tower in the world and the fifth tallest building in the world. It is located in the northwest corner of downtown Kuala Lumpur. The Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers are 452 meters high and are 88 stories above ground. The interior of the building designed by American architect Cesar Pelli uses a lot of stainless steel and glass. The Petronas Twin Towers and the adjacent Kuala Lumpur Tower are both well-known landmarks and symbols of Kuala Lumpur.

The reinforced concrete frame (core tube) outrigger structure system adopted by the twin towers is a mixed structure mainly composed of reinforced concrete structures, with a steel capacity of 7,500 tons. The auxiliary circular frame structure next to each main structure is connected to the main body to increase the anti-side ability of the main steel structure.

No.4: London Millennium Dome

The millennium Dome has been described as a deformed steel structure building in the past, but at the same time it is a representative building in London. The famous financial magazine Forbes conducted a public opinion survey on architects. As a result, Britain spent 750 million pounds to celebrate the millennium and was chosen as the "world's ugliest thing". The Millennium Dome is an exhibition of the popular science center building on the Greenwich Peninsula on the Thames. It covers an area of 300 acres and costs 80 million pounds ($1.25 billion). It is the United Kingdom to celebrate the turn of the 20th to 21st centuries to created the monumental buildings.

No.3: US World Trade Center

The World Trade Center (1973-September 11, 2001) is located on the southwestern tip of Manhattan Island in New York, west of the Hudson River, and it is one of New York's landmarks. The World Trade Center consists of two towering towers, four 7-story office buildings and a 22-story hotel, built between 1962 and 1976. The owners are the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The World Trade Center was once the tallest twin tower in the world, the iconic building of New York City and one of the tallest buildings in the world. On September 11, 2001, in the September 11th incident that shocked the world, the two main buildings of the World Trade Center collapsed in a terrorist attack, and 2,753 people followed. This is the worst terrorist attack in history.

The twin towers of the World Trade Center Center are designed with an innovative steel frame sleeve structure system that connects the peripheral support structure to the central core structure through horizontal floor trusses. This design gives the building exceptional stability. In addition to the weight of the building, the outer steel column is also subjected to wind forces acting on the tower. This means that the internal support structure only has to bear its own vertical load.

No.2: Sydney Opera House

Located in the northern part of Sydney, the Sydney Opera House is a landmark building in Sydney, designed by Danish architect Jon Wusson. Below the shell-shaped roof is a water complex that combines a theatre and a hall. The interior structure of the Opera House is modeled after the Mayan culture and the Aztec temple.

The giant stadium designed by the Pritzker Prize winners Herzog, De Meuron and Chinese architect Li Xinggang in 2001 is shaped like a "nest" that breeds life. It is more like a cradle, bearing humanity’s hope for the future. The designers did not do any extra treatment for the national stadium, but exposed the structure frankly, thus naturally forming the appearance of the building. In July 2007, the British "Times" had named the ten largest and most important construction projects in the world. At that time, the "Bird's Nest" ranked first. The latest issue of the American "Time" magazine published on December 24 of the same year, selected the world's top ten architectural miracles in 2007, the Bird's Nest is innocent.

The steel structure suppport each other to form a network-like structure, and the appearance of high and low fluctuations moderates the volume of the building and gives a dramatic and powerful shape. The main building is a space saddle oval, which is the largest single steel structure project in the world.
