The National Housing and Urban Regeneration Center's "Jifeng Anju" social housing new construction turnkey project in Wufeng District, Taichung City, was successfully awarded on June 6, 2023. The turnkey team, consisting of Earth Power Construction Co., Ltd., Kun Li Electrical Engineering Co., Ltd., and YSL Architects & Associates, will collaborate on the project, which is expected to provide Taichung City with 533 social housing units, 323 car parking spaces, and 751 motorcycle parking spaces.

The "Jifeng Anju" site is located at the intersection of Zhongzheng Road and Fengti Road in Wufeng District, Taichung City. It is near the Caohu Creek, the Water Resources Planning Institute of the Water Resources Agency, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Wufeng Agricultural and Industrial High School, and the campus of Chaoyang University of Technology. It not only has convenient transportation but also provides easy access to the Taichung Software Park and industrial parks via the Caohu Bridge to the north, meeting the housing needs of the working population. At the same time, the project will also include a kindergarten, rental offices, and commercial spaces such as shops to serve local residents, enrich living functions, and provide a high-quality living environment and support.

The structural system of this project is planned to adopt a Special Moment Resisting Frame (SMRF) system of reinforced concrete to resist vertical and horizontal loads and seismic forces. The foundation uses a raft foundation, the basement exterior walls are 40cm thick RC walls, the above-ground exterior walls are 15cm thick RC walls, and the interior partition walls use lightweight partition walls to reduce self-weight and reduce seismic forces.

Considering the effects of the nearby Chelungpu Fault, the project focused on modular column spacing in the initial planning and design stage, adjusting the longitudinal and transverse column spacing to 8.6m to reduce irregular building plans. The neat beam-column system allows for even distribution of stress on structural seismic components. During strong earthquakes, energy will be dissipated by all components together rather than concentrated on local components, which can improve the seismic performance of the building structure. In addition, two-span frames are arranged in the center of the short side of the structural plan, while three-span frames are arranged at both ends. This configuration not only reduces the overall aspect ratio to reduce the stress on columns and beams during earthquakes but also increases the torsional stiffness and strength of the structure, allowing the structure to more effectively resist the torsional effects caused by accidental eccentricity and dynamic eccentricity, reducing the stress on components during structural torsion, thereby improving the seismic safety of the building structure.
