ON THE COVER: Seeking Zero Energy
The Pearl River Tower’s primary lateral-load-resisting system will feature an interior reinforcedconcrete core and a series of composite megacolumns that are linked by a large, multistory system of structural steel X braces on the narrow edge facades of the building. The perimeter columns will be linked to the reinforced-concrete core wall and the corner megacolumns by a system of two-story outrigger and belt trusses at the major mechanical levels.
