The steelwork is quite complicated, he explains.

And the Ritz Carlton Tower is being designed with exposed steel, non fire proof, much like those old gas tanks.

So, it's tens of millions of calculations just to design one connection between a piece of structural steel and another piece of structural steel.

According to the introduction made by Liu Changbao, the project leader of Beijing No. 5 Construction Engineering Group, the building area of the Performing Arts Plaza project was 4500 square meters, and the total amount of installed steal was 1182 tons. The steel roof was supported by the cantilever steel truss with a 26 beam umbrella arrangement. It would appear in the shape of a butterfly flying up high under the tension created by steel strand draglines.

So, in vacuum formed plastic, in fiberglass, and then even at the level of structural steel, which you think of as being linear and modular.

And then you have to do the initial sketch of the character, which is like your structure of a piece, and then you add pen and pencil and whatever details that you need that's polishing the drawing.

And what first attracted me, or interested me, was this view from the street which is this steel structure, sort of rusty, this industrial relic.

The failure points were the same walls and slabs not tied properly into columns that's a roof slab hanging off the building cantilevered structures, or structures that were asymmetric, that shook violently and came down, poor building materials, not enough concrete, not enough compression in the blocks, rebar that was smooth, rebar that was exposed to the weather and had rusted away.

Well, this is, again, it's just a ring, a steel ring with steel nuts.

So, starting with steel how do you make steel?

Although steel plants, as of now, have yet to receive clear notification from local governments announcing that work related to energy conservation and emission reduction has ended, the industry expects that by around December 15, 2010, steel plants nationwide that have been subjected to production quotas will resume production successively. Steel prices could start to come under pressure.

Experts called for the creation of a global steel agreement or a global steel accord to steady and guide the steel industry.

Wire drawn products and seamless pipes are also part of the long steel products group.
