Abstract

Due to complex shape and irregularity, projects of special-shaped buildings and venues are always limited by low construction efficiency and uncontrollable quality. The main form of the Application of Curtain Wall Prefabrication Scheme in Phoenix Mountain Sports Center is perforated aluminum panel curtain wall, which connects the stadium and gym through gradually varied curves, and creates the varied facade texture through metal panels of two colors (dark and light). The facade of the perforated aluminum panel curtain wall is streamlined, the overall shape is complex, with gradually varied and irregular shapes in horizontal and vertical directions, the aluminum panels are arranged in staggered seams, and the theoretical positions of the four corners are not coplanar. The number of aluminum panels is about 6000, and the number of assembled aluminum panels with different size is about 60,000. Conventional construction measures cannot meet the requirements of construction period and benefit. This paper aims to explore the application of prefabrication schemes in special-shaped curtain walls and provide relevant experience for other similar projects by studying the process of implementing the curtain wall prefabrication scheme in Phoenix Mountain Sports Center. A series of practices have proven that a large stadium can be constructed according to the integral hoisting scheme of sectors. Studies on how to design overall hoisting system for steel joist of large volume unit, how to install the steel joist of large volume unit, how to install non-coplanar special-shaped curtain wall and how to implement integral hoisting of metal roofing purlin may help to solve difficulties such as difficult construction, high cost and uncontrollable quality of large volume non-coplanar special-shaped curtain wall. Especially, studies on prefabrication construction techniques may help to simplify complex traditional bulk construction procedures, save time, improve work efficiency and reduce construction costs.
