Structural frame for high-rise building and high-rise building

Abstract

Structural frame for supporting at least one slanted section of a high-rise building, the slanted section comprising a perimeter and plurality of floors, wherein the structural frame is arranged at the perimeter of the slanted section; the structural frame closes the perimeter of the slanted section; and at least 85% of the loads of the floors in the slanted section are transferred to the structural frame at the perimeter of the slanted section. A high-rise building comprising at least one slanted section and a support frame for supporting the at least one slanted section is also provided.

1 . A structural frame of a high-rise building, at least a section of the structural frame being slanted with respect to vertical and being configured to support a slanted section of the high-rise building, the structural frame comprising:
 mega columns arranged to be located at a perimeter of the slanted section of the high-rise building; and   elongated support elements connecting the mega columns and arranged to encompass the perimeter of the slanted section of the high-rise building,   wherein the structural frame lacks a central core and at least 85% of the loads of floors in the slanted section are transferred to the structural frame at the perimeter of the slanted section.   
     
     
         2 . The structural frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the structural frame is configured to support the slanted section slanted at least 5° with respect to vertical. 
     
     
         3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . The structural frame according to  claim 1 , wherein each mega column is arranged with the same slant as the slanted section. 
     
     
         5 . The structural frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the structural frame further comprises at least one closed belt that is configured to encompass the perimeter of the slanted section. 
     
     
         6 . (canceled) 
     
     
         7 . The structural frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the elongated support elements are constituted by X-bracings. 
     
     
         8 . The structural frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the slanted section comprises at least five floors. 
     
     
         9 . A high-rise building comprising the structural frame according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         10 . The high-rise building according to  claim 9 , wherein the entire high-rise building is slanted. 
     
     
         11 . The high-rise building according to  claim 9 , wherein the high-rise building is arch shaped and wherein the slanted section forms a part of the arch shape. 
     
     
         12 . The high-rise building according to  claim 9 , wherein the high-rise building is constituted by, or comprises, two slanted sections arranged in a V-shape. 
     
     
         13 . The high-rise building according to  claim 9 , further comprising a substantially horizontally arranged cantilever section connected to the slanted section. 
     
     
         14 . The high-rise building according to  claim 13 , further comprising one or more cables connecting the slanted section to the cantilever section. 
     
     
         15 . The high-rise building according to  claim 9 , wherein the high-rise building comprises a base and a top and wherein a vertical core cannot be accommodated within the high-rise building from the base to the top. 
     
     
         16 . The high-rise building according to  claim 9 , wherein the high-rise building does not comprise a central vertical elevator core. 
     
     
         17 . The high-rise building according to  claim 9 , further comprising an elevator system having a plurality of cabins, wherein the elevator system is configured to drive the cabins along a common path comprising non-vertical sections. 
     
     
         18 . The high-rise building according to  claim 15 , wherein the vertical core is a central vertical elevator core.
