- Title
REVER headquarters—An office building with curved walls using nondrying shrinkage type concrete.
- Authors
Kawamura, Satoshi; Inoue, Kazumasa
- Abstract
The article discusses the reconstruction of the REVER Corporation's head office building to commemorate the company's 100th anniversary. The building features curved walls that allow soft light to enter through window slits and create an intermediate area between the inside and outside. The structural framework of the building is inspired by a spiderweb and includes peripheral walls that resist lateral forces and boundary girders that restrain wall deformation. The unique inner structure of the building required the use of nondrying shrinkage type concrete, which provides safety against earthquakes, durability, and an aesthetic appearance. The article also provides details about the materials used in the concrete and the results of tests performed on the concrete's expansion and shrinkage. The building has received recognition for its outstanding structure.
