Water Supply in High Rise Buildings Introduction:- In General Designing skyscrapers is an extremely complicated art that integrates several different logistic operations and utilities. Plumbing is one of the more challenging problems to solve due to the loss of pressure as water travels up a vertical pipe. As the building gets taller, another problem arises […]

FORMS OF HIGH RISE BUILDINGS RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FORM OF TALL BUILDINGS The direction of evolution of the tall building’s structural systems has been toward efficiently increasing the lateral stiffness against lateral loads – primarily wind loads. In order to obtain the necessary lateral stiffness, introduced first were braced frames followed by tubular structures,

Structure System of Tall Buildings Structure System of Multi-Story Buildings The steel systems developed between 1960 to 1975, fit a logical evolutionary pattern with one development leading to another, and each time forming a new system. Although the primary motivation for these developments was structural efficiency, the systems also offered great opportunities for Structuralist facade

CONSTRUCTIONS IN TALL BUILDINGS Introduction:- Tall buildings cannot be defined in specific terms related to height or number of floors. A structure is considered tall when its structural analyses and design gets affected by the lateral loads more than the vertical loads, that increase with an increase in height of the building. Such loads

Site Selection The important factors to be remembered before selecting the site for tall buildings are: Location– w.r.t existing structures, transport facilities, approach roads, linking roads, etc. – The development of buildings on a site that will lead to the formation of unpleasant, dense, and overpopulated areas without sufficient social relationships should be avoided. Geography: Orientation

In General Buildings between 75 feet and 491 feet (23 m to 150 m) high are, considered High-Rises. The average height of a level is around 13 feet (4 m) high, thus a 79 foot (24 m) tall building would comprise 6 floors. High-rise buildings became possible with the invention of the elevator and cheaper,
