The 101 Tower
The 101 Tower, the tallest building in the world.
Outside the 101 Tower, Professor Young (National Taiwan University of Science and Technology) and Professor Chun Wei Chen (National Taiwan University)
Professor Young (right) arranged for a private visit to the 101 building. The building will officially open in January 2005

The shopping complex on the left is attached to the 101 tower by a flexible joint illustrated here
Prepared for the private visit to study the engineering that has led to this tremendous success. Young, Chun Chen Wei, Harry, Yang and Chen. Wei is Professor Young's former student, now involved in the construction of the 101 tower and our guide. All except Wei are alumni of Cambridge University.

These massive trusses located at eight levels support the building in the event of an earthquake. The building is in principle able to resist a Richter scale 10 earthquake.
The part of the building above the 91st floor. When the building opens, the public will be limited to floors below the 91st, where there is a viewing gallery.

The flat concrete slabs are less dense than water. They are made from special concrete (designed by Professor Young of the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology). They are made by mixing cement and porous clay (obtained by dredging silt at the bottom of a dam).
The fact that the concerete slabs have a densit of only 0.9 that of water means that it is possible to have a huge reception hall in the shopping mall.
