Workshops equipped with heavy-duty overhead cranes or with intensive crane operations, such as steelmaking and rolling workshops in metallurgical plants, steel casting and hydraulic press workshops of heavy machinery manufacturers, and hull workshops in shipyards.
II. Workshop Structures Subjected to Vibration Loads
Workhouses fitted with large forging hammers or other power-driven equipment, as well as structures requiring high seismic performance.
III. Large-Span Structures
Aircraft assembly workshops, aircraft hangars, gymnasiums, grand auditoriums, theatres, exhibition halls and other buildings, which commonly adopt structural systems including space trusses, arch frames, suspension structures and rigid frames.
IV. Multi-storey, High-rise and Super High-rise Buildings
Multi-storey framed industrial buildings, as well as high-rise and super high-rise constructions such as commercial centers and hotels, normally employ frame systems, frame-brace systems or frame-shear wall systems.
V. Tower and Mast Structures
Television towers, satellite launch towers, environmental meteorological monitoring towers, radio antenna masts, power transmission line towers, drilling rig towers and similar facilities.
VI. Plate and Shell Structures
Blast furnaces, hot-blast stoves, large oil depots, gas storage tanks, coal gas holders, gas pipelines, petroleum pipelines, chimneys and related facilities.
VII. Bridge Structures
Long-span bridges, particularly railway bridges and combined highway-railway bridges.
VIII. Demountable & Prefabricated Buildings
Temporary prefabricated houses for commercial businesses, tourism projects and construction sites, mostly constructed with light-gauge steel structures connected by bolts or fasteners.
IX. Special Structures
Hydraulic sluice gates, boiler frames, various cranes (overhead travelling cranes, tower cranes, gantry cranes, truck-mounted cranes, etc.), trestles, pipeline supports, shaft frames, offshore oil platforms and other special engineering structures.
