The objectives of this structural study are to (1) discover how the John Hancock Building in Chicago resists wind and gravity loads, (2) how to combine the structural effects of wind and gravity loads, and (3) learn how calculate and interpret a structural factor of safety.
The John Hancock Center is a 100- story, 1,128-foot [7] supertall skyscraper located in Chicago, Illinois. Located in the Magnificent Mile district, the building was officially renamed 875 North Michigan Avenue in 2018.
To-day the Hancock Tower, with its powerful diagonalized expression, represents a unique icon for the City of Chi-cago. This paper is written to commemorate the 25-year award with an examination of the conceptual develop-ment of the system and its enduring legacy in tall build-ing systems technology.
The John Hancock Center, at 875 North Michigan Avenue in the Streeterville area of Chicago, Illinois, United States, is a 100-story, 1,127-foot (344 m) tall skyscraper, constructed under the supervision of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, with chief designer Bruce Graham and structural engineer Fazlur Khan.
A true architectural aesthetic form must express the nature of itself. Two separate towers; A 70 story office building and a separate 45 story residential building. One of the few mixed use high rises.
For Chicago’s busy streetscape, the building’s shape increases the visual verticality of the building; adding perceived height to an already impressively tall tower. The architectural form of the 875 North Michigan Avenue represents a radical departure from established aesthetics of the time.
The document summarizes the structural design of the John Hancock Center in Chicago. It describes the project details such as the client, location, height, cost, architects and engineers. It discusses the design challenges of accommodating different floor sizes.
