The Key Construction Technology Research on the Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland

Abstract EN

The Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland is the first natural ecological hotel built in an abandoned mine in the world, which faces many difficulties in the construction process.

To solve the difficult problems in the construction process, the study was carried out from the stability analysis of the deep pit cliff, the mechanical performance of the structure, and the construction technology.

The Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland is built around the abandoned deep pit cliffs, and the stability of the deep pit cliffs directly affects the safety of the building.

The dynamic response characteristics and the instability characteristics of the mine slope under the dynamic response were analyzed by a three-dimensional dynamic finite element method.

The calculation results showed that with effective anchoring support measures, the stability coefficient of slope under static load and small earthquakes was large, which had a certain safety margin.

Under the action of large earthquakes, the slope could still meet the stability requirements.

The structure of the Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland is a unique two-point support structure system.

It shows the deformation and stress characteristics of one fixed end and one simply supported end under horizontal load.

The elastic-plastic time history response of structures under actions of rare earthquakes was analyzed through the finite element analysis software.

The analysis results show that the current structural system along with the design of component size and strength can meet the seismic performance of the structure under actions of rare earthquakes.

The Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland was built in a stone pit 88 m below the surface.

Therefore, the transportation of materials was a difficulty in the construction process.

A set of ultradeep concrete downward conveying equipment was invented to solve the difficulty.

The construction process of the whole structure was simulated by finite element software, which provided a safety guarantee for the construction of the whole structure.
