 WHAT IS HIGH RISE STRUCTURE ?
- INTRODUCTION AND • A high-rise building is one with four floors or more, or one 15
DEFINITION meters or more in height.
- DEMAND FOR HIGH • Buildings between 75 feet and 491 feet (23 m to 150 m) high are
RISE BUILDINGS
considered high-rise.
- CONSTRUCTION
MATERIAL USED • Buildings taller than 492 feet (150 m)
are classified as skyscrapers.

CONSIDERATIONS
 DEMAND FOR HIGH RISE BUILDINGS
- INTRODUCTION AND
DEFINITION

- DEMAND FOR HIGH • Scarcity of land in urban area

RISE BUILDINGS
• Increasing demands for residential and business space
- CONSTRUCTION
MATERIAL USED • Economical growth
- TYPES OF SYSTEM • Technological advancement
- FOUNDATION TYPE
• Desire for aesthetic in urban setting
- DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS • Concept of city skyline

• Human aspiration to build higher

 Construction materials
Materials used for high rise buildings: concrete, steel, glass, cladding material, high alumina
- INTRODUCTION AND cement used for roofs & floors. It contains bauxite instead of clay, cement, Portland cement of

CONCRETE:- cellular concrete of claygypsum & invention of light

weight concrete.
RISE BUILDINGS
FERRO CONCRETE:-it is layer of fine mesh

saturated with cement.
MATERIAL USED
GUNITE:- it is also known as shot Crete.
- TYPES OF SYSTEM
compressed air to shoot concrete onto
(or into) a frame or structure. Shot Crete is
- FOUNDATION TYPE
frequently used against vertical soil or rock
surfaces, as it eliminates the need for

formwork.
CONSIDERATIONS
GLASS:- float glass with double glass is used in tall
buildings .
Tempered glass is used in tall buildings instead
of plain glass, as that would shatter at such
height.

ALUMINIUM PVC
 Shear wall System
- INTRODUCTION AND
DEFINITION • Rigid frame construction

- DEMAND FOR HIGH • The shear wall is in steel or concrete

RISE BUILDINGS – greater lateral stability

- CONSTRUCTION • Loads resisted by the walls

MATERIAL USED
• It is composed of braced panels to
- TYPES OF SYSTEM counter the effect of lateral loads.

- FOUNDATION TYPE • Earthquake and wind loads

- DESIGN • Shear walls tend to be used only

CONSIDERATIONS conjunction with
other support systems.
 BRACED SYSTEM
• Frame are cantilevered vertical trusses
- INTRODUCTION AND resisting laterals loads primarily
DEFINITION through the axial stiffness of the frame
members.
- DEMAND FOR HIGH
RISE BUILDINGS • Generally regarded as an exclusively
steel system because the diagonal are
- CONSTRUCTION inevitably subjected to tension for or
MATERIAL USED to the other directions of lateral
loading.
- TYPES OF SYSTEM
• Able to produce a laterally very stiff
- FOUNDATION TYPE structure for a minimum of additional
material, makes it an economical
- DESIGN structural form for any height of
CONSIDERATIONS buildings, up to the very tallest.
 FRAMED-TUBE STRUCTURES
- INTRODUCTION AND • The lateral resistant of the framed-tube structures
DEFINITION is provided by very stiff moment-resistant frames
that form a “tube” around the perimeter of the
- DEMAND FOR HIGH building.
RISE BUILDINGS
• The basic inefficiency of the frame system for
- CONSTRUCTION reinforced concrete buildings of more than 15
MATERIAL USED stories resulted in member proportions of
prohibitive size and structural material cost
- TYPES OF SYSTEM premium, and thus such system were
economically not viable.
- FOUNDATION TYPE
• The frames consist of 6-12 ft (2-4m) between
- DESIGN centers, joined by deep spandrel girders. Gravity
CONSIDERATIONS loading is shared between the tube and interior
column or walls.
 THE TRUSSED TUBE

- INTRODUCTION AND • The trussed tube system represents a classic

DEFINITION solution for a tube uniquely suited to the qualities
and character of structural steel.
- DEMAND FOR HIGH
RISE BUILDINGS • Interconnect all exterior columns to form a rigid
box, which can resist lateral shears by axial in its
- CONSTRUCTION members rather than through flexure.
MATERIAL USED
• Introducing a minimum number of diagonals on
- TYPES OF SYSTEM each facade and making the diagonal intersect at
the same point at the corner column.
- FOUNDATION TYPE
• The system is tubular in that the fascia diagonals
- DESIGN not only form a truss in the plane, but also
CONSIDERATIONS interact with the trusses on the perpendicular
faces to affect the tubular behavior. This creates
the x form between corner columns on each
façade.
 BUNDLED TUBE SYSTEM
- INTRODUCTION AND
• The concept allows for
DEFINITION
wider column spacing
in the tubular walls than
- DEMAND FOR HIGH
would be possible with
RISE BUILDINGS
only the exterior frame
tube form.
- CONSTRUCTION
MATERIAL USED
• The spacing which make it possible to place
interior frame lines without seriously
- TYPES OF SYSTEM
compromising interior space planning.
- FOUNDATION TYPE
• The ability to modulate the cells vertically
can create a powerful vocabulary for a
- DESIGN
variety of dynamic shapes therefore offers
CONSIDERATIONS
great latitude in architectural planning of at
all building.
 Foundation Types
- INTRODUCTION AND • Raft foundation: one of the most common foundation. It is known for its load
DEFINITION distributing capability. With the usage of this type of foundation the enormous load of
the building gets distributed & helps the building stay upright and sturdy. Loads are
- DEMAND FOR HIGH transferred by raft into the ground.
RISE BUILDINGS
• Pile foundation: used for high rise construction. Load of
- CONSTRUCTION building is distributed to the ground with the help of piles.
MATERIAL USED Transfer the loads into the ground with an Adequate factor
of safety.
- TYPES OF SYSTEM
• Combined raft-pile: is the hybrid of 2 foundation. It
- FOUNDATION TYPE Consists of both the pile and raft foundation. Useful in
marshy sandy soil that has low bearing capacity.
- DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS
 Design Standards
- INTRODUCTION AND
DEFINITION
• Location and surrounding building planning.
- DEMAND FOR HIGH
RISE BUILDINGS • Project scale and the general view.

- CONSTRUCTION • Keeping on open city view.

MATERIAL USED
• Environment (handling mind issues-shadows , etc ).
- TYPES OF SYSTEM
• Transportation and car parking.
- FOUNDATION TYPE
• On the level of ground floor policies.
- DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS • Infrastructure , energy efficiency and sustainable development.

• Management and operation.

• Safety and security and building standards
