STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF HIGH-RISE STRUCTURES

1. PHILOSOPHY AND DESIGN CRITERIA.


1.1 Definition of high-rise building.
A high-rise building is a multistorey building tall enough to require the use of a system
of mechanical vertical transportation such as elevators, and is defined differently in
terms of height depending on the jurisdiction. It is used as aresidential, office building,
or other functions including hotel, retail, or with multiple purposes combined. A very
tall high-rise building is referred to as a skyscraper. The exact height above which a
particular building is deemed a high rise is specified by fire and building codes for the
country, region, state, or city where the building is located.

1.2 Why high-rise building?


• Driven by high cost of land. Developers can accommodate more units within a small
space.

• Bringing a large number of people to close proximity of important facilities –


schools, hospitals, shopping malls, etc.

• Sustainability through economical use of space.

• Control of urban sprawl.

• Formation of mini cities.

• Prestige.

• Land mark.

1.3 Design criteria.


• Local compliance and design priorities.
• Ensure design meets cost saving goals.
• Efficiency and sustainability.
• Occupant comfort.
• Effect on the skyline.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF HIGH-RISE STRUCTURES

2. DESIGN CONCEPTS
2.1 Floor systems.
(a). Have effect on
• Provision of clear space.
• Floor to floor height hence overall building height.
• Lateral load resistance.

(b). Acts as a rigid diaphragm which transfers lateral load to lateral load resisting
the system.

(c). Carries gravity loads and transfers them to columns, shear walls etc. for
transmission to the foundation..

2.2 Lateral load resisting systems.


Have effect on
• Lateral stiffness
• Lateral sway.
• Storey drift.
Course EECQ 5152 SLIDE No. 12

STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF HIGH-RISE STRUCTURES

(a). Flexural deformation. (b). Shear deformation.


Deformation of structures under lateral forces.
Course EECQ 5152 SLIDE No. 13

STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF HIGH-RISE STRUCTURES


Building sway vs storey drift.
• Building sway = A
Storey drift = δ

• In framed buildings the total


building sway is large but the
storey drift reduces with height.
The deformation is known as
shear deformation.

• In shear wall buildings the storey


drift increases with height. The
deformation is known as flexural
deformation.

• Combining the two reduces the


storey drift along the height of the
building.

2.3 Base isolation


Base isolation is a state-of-the-art method in which the structure (superstructure) is
separated from the base (foundation or substructure) by introducing a suspension
system between the base and the main structure.
