High-strength concrete with specific design strength of 60 MPa and high-strength reinforcing bars, SD 490, were utilized in construction of 39-story buildings. The building was constructed with a RC layered construction system, in which both precast concrete members and cast-in-place reinforced concrete members were properly employed, and labor saving, high efficiency and high quality structures were attained. An outline of the structural plan and the RC layered construction system was presented, and prefabrication and splicing method of high-strength bars and proportioning design, placing method and results of quality control of high-strength concrete were reported.
