5 Alice Salomoni Shaking table Test Lab 1570204 The ding was a vessel used by Chinese emperors to make offers to the gods. It represents the union between heaven and earth. The China pavilion's four giant columns resemble the legs of a ding vessel while the inverted pyramid body resembles the bowl of a vessel. The rooftop of the building is in the shape of a grid-like pattern reminiscent of Jiugongge when view from the air. Jiugongge was the basis of urban planning in ancient China. The exterior is painted in seven subtle shades of Chinese red, symbolizing Chinese culture and good fortune. The different shades combine effectively to illustrate the concept "unity with difference". The overhanging columns of the main China pavilion and exterior of the Chinese joint provincial pavilion are decorated with Diezhuan characters, calligraphic characters used on official seals. The characters for north, south, east and west are engraved on the red China pavilion, while 24 Chinese solar terms are carved into the silver facade of the provincial pavilion. Plan dimensions The floors below the height of 33.3 m are hollow, while the upper floors are unfolding outwards level by level, forming a shape of an inverted trapezoid which is called ‘oriental crown’. Are enlarged greatly from 69.9 × 69.9 m at the to 136.8 × 136.8 m at the roof, resulting in a cantilever span of about 33 m at the roof level. Furthermore, the floors between the height of 38.7 and 46.8 m are staggered and up rise spirally along the outsides of the cores. In elevation, four RC cores stretch from the bottom to the top, and protrude 7.7 m out of the roof. The structural system is composed of four RC cores with steel–concrete composite floors. The four cores with the same plan dimensions 18.6 × 18.6 m are designed to be the primary lateral resisting system, besides to sustain the vertical loads of the structure. In addition, at the height of 33.3 m, 20 inclined columns consisting of concrete-filled rectangular steel tube are placed on the perimeter of the cores as the vertical support of the big-span steel beams on the floors. Since there is no column in the interior, it satisfies the requirements of the architectural function for open and large exhibition areas. Ceramic tripod ding, Han Dynasty
