Abstract
When completed the Ping An Tower will be the second tallest building in the world and the tallest in China. Its design was being developed at the same time as the latest cycle of revisions to the China Code were being proposed and considered. Expert panel reviewers familiar with upcoming code changes considered them when commenting on the design. As a result, the analysis and design challenges experienced on the Ping An Tower provide a preview of likely effects of the forthcoming China Code. The paper will discuss and summarize extensive analyses required to satisfy the new China Code standards. The impending provisions in the China Code will establish more stringent design requirements that go beyond current international building design standards.
