    Core Design 1

    This document defines building cores and discusses their design. Cores are the central parts of buildings that house utilities, elevators, stairwells, and other shared functions. They act as structural supports that provide stability. Cores can be located off-center, central, or multiple cores may be used. Reinforced concrete is commonly used due to its fire resistance, though steel is also used. Cores must be designed to resist lateral forces and enable flexibility in floor plans.

    CORE DESIGN

    Definition Of Core
    • The central of arterial part of a multistory building that
    integrates functions and service needs for established
    occupants. Such areas are normally composed of toilet
    facilities, elevator banks, janitors’ closet, utilities, mechanical
    facilities, smoke shafts and stair.

    • Core also known as facade envelope is a spatial element for


    load-bearing high-rise building system.
    Characteristic
    • Shape of core
    • Number of cores
    • Location of cores
    • Arrangement of cores
    • Geometry of building as generator of core
    form
    Function
    • Tying the building together to act as a unit
    • To maximize flexibility in layout
    • As shear wall systems to provide the
    necessary lateral stability for the building
    • Resist lateral forces from any direction
    • Carries gravity loads
    Elements
    • Electrical & Telephone
    • Piping and risers
    • Transportation
    • Fans room
    • Toilets
    PLACEMENT
    Advantages and Disadvantages
    • Off Center
    – Advantages
    • All window or building perimeter space to be used for
    offices
    • More flexibility in maximum depth and arrangement of
    spaces
    • Affords the opportunity of developing small secluded space
    in the relatively narrow portion of the floor plan where the
    core is closes to the exterior walls.
    – Disadvantages
    • Present some problems of access
    • Less flexibility of tenant distribution
    • Remote and thus less convenient to the far sides and
    corners of the building
    CENTRAL CORE
    • Central
    – Advantages
    • Allows all window all window space to be utilized as rental of the
    building plan will permit offices of verging depths to receive natural
    light
    • Extremely convenient of access and in some cases may be
    equidistant for all side
    • Simplifies area division & provides good flexibility of tenant
    distribution in the some way
    • Horizontal utility runs may also relatively equidistant from the core
    • Combine with a square building plan, bearing exterior & core walls,
    this location permits a floor plan tree of columns and thus totally
    flexible for office layout
    • Disadvantages
    • The central interior location limits the depth of offices in the mid-
    zone of each floor
    • It requires an access corridor around its perimeter
    MATERIAL
    • Reinforced concrete
    – large net tension forces exist can negate the inherent efficiency
    of concrete in compression resistance
    – Walls become thick
    • Concrete
    – Fire-resistance, in particular of lift and piping shafts, is good
    – Execution is efficient
    – Lateral forces can be transmitted employing the surrounding skeleton
    – sufficient stiffness
    • Steel
    – Large and costly
    – achieve its lateral stability.
    – necessary core stiffness
    – relatively rapid assemblage of the prefabricated members.
    – Enclose space, no extra consideration need to be given to fire proofing.
    – Lack of ductility
    – Respect to earth quake loading
    Structure
    • Cantilever floor
    • Hanging floor
    • Core-in-r.c frame
    • Bunched hanging floors
    • Bunched cantilever floors
    • Composite
    • Core-in-steel frame
    System
    • Core-in-frame
    • Cantilever-core
    • Composite
    • Core-cable
    • CONTINUE CORE 2
