Abstract: In recent years,the high-rise buildings have been emerging in China,from previous Shenzhen Diwang Mansion,Shanghai Jinmao Mansion,Shanghai Global Financial Center,to today's Shenzhen Kingkey Finance Center,Shanghai Center,Wuhan Greenland Center,etc.It is well-known that the key for restricting high-rise building's construction is the vertical transportation equipment's limit,while tower crane is the most important vertical transportation equipment.Therefore,scientific choice and rational layout of tower cranes are the key to ensuring the qulity,safety and progress of construction.By way of discussion on tower crane's selection and arrangement in high-rise building's construction with some constructed and constructing high-rise buildings,some rational opinions are proposed.
