Abstract
Shanghai Jinmao building is the 3rd highest building in the world at present. The main building consists of reinforced concrete core wall and exterior structure steel frame. It is rather difficult to construct this edifice in such a poor soil condition in Shanghai. Proceeding from actual facts, Shanghai Construction Groups (SCG) makes efforts to conduct technology innovation, and absorbs advanced experiences domestic and abroad wildly. A unit of unique construction technique and a suitable managing system were developed with the growth of this building. SCG successfully solved a series of construction difficulties including deep-foundation work, mega-columns construction, high - altitude construction and erection, and so on. It only spent 4 years on this building, which set a high-speed record in construction history.
