Introduction

High-rise commercial buildings are the icons of modern society. These symbolize the power of commerce in the present world system.These also add the 3rd dimension to the city. In addition, at the micro level, having an office at an attractive high-rise building gives additional advantage to the business in terms of better customer confidence and corporate identity.

Page 4: High rise  structure & core

Definition

A high-rise building is defined as a building 35 meters or greater in heightGenerally constructed using a structural frame, provided with high-speed elevators,

Although originally high-rises were designed for commercial purposes,

many high-rises are now planned for multiple uses.

Thats means, the combination of office, residential, retail and hotel space etc.•It must be divided into multiple levels •of at least 2 meters height.

•If it has fewer than 12 such internal•levels, then the highest undivided portion must not exceed 50% of the total height•It must be divided into multiple levels •of at least 2 meters height.

•If it has fewer than 12 such internal•levels, then the highest undivided portion must not exceed 50% of the total height

FAR RULES ANALYSIS

TYPE:SHOPING CUM OFFICE BUILDING

According to BNBC GADJET 2008 the building type is fFAR (Floor Area ratio):

Set BackFor according high rise building the required set back follows-1. From three sides of the site is min. 3m/10ft.2. There will be no built form within 4.5m(14.7ft) from the mid point of access road or 1.5m (5ft) from front side.3.Required green space is the 50% of the total site without any shading from the built form.

Ground Coverage:Built area (on the site) x100Total land area

Mandatory green space: mandatory setback-(minus)mandatory paved area

Page 8: High rise  structure & core

FAR RULES ANALYSIS

According to rules we can provide 50% paved area from uncovered spaces Shades on this paved area can be provided where the minimumheight should be 13(4m) from ground level or 10(3m) from plinth level. The uncovered ground of the site must used for guard room & parking.Guard room:From roadside boundary wall the height of the guard room will be 8(2.5m) from finished ground level & the maximum Floor area will be 53 sft (5sqm).

Boundary wall:Maximum height for boundary wall is (2.75m) . For rear & side walls solid height is (1.75m) & Perforated height is 3.28 (1m).

Balcony:The height of the railing of the balcony will be max. 3. or 1200mm. The balcony must not extend above the set back area.

PodiumThe height of the podium will be maximum 40 (12m). This height is determined with parapet. According to BNBC, MGC of the podium will be 75%. In this case the MGC of the high rise tower will be recessed to 37.5%.

Page 9: High rise  structure & core

FAR RULES ANALYSIS

Re Escape:Lift, escalators etc will not count as fire escape elements. Fire escape should be located on the exterior faade of the building. Fire escape must not route to basement.

Ramp:Slope of ramp should be 1:8 preparation length of the ramp should be minimum 14 (4.25m) clear height of the ramp must be minimum 8.

There are two basic sources for high-rise buildings' load actions-

# Geophysical load (result of gravitational, meteorological &

Seismological changes).# Man-made load (generated by cars, elevators, machines etc.

Steps should be taken for earthquake

All portion of structure shall be designed and constructed to act as a unit in resisting horizontal forcesMasonry or concrete elements shall be reinforcedOnly roof live load may be neglected when considering the effect of seismic forces in combination with vertical loadConcrete or masonry walls shall be anchored to all floors and roofs providing lateral support of the wall

Building behavior during the earthquake

The magnitude of the horizontal inertia force F depends on the building mass M, ground acceleration A.

If a building and its foundation were regid, it would have same acceleration as the ground, that is by Newtons Law - F=MA

Central core

Page 19: High rise  structure & core

Typology of Core

central core

Advantage:i.it allows all window space to be utilized as rental office space.ii.Permits offices to varying depth to receive natural light.iii.It is suitable in terms of access and in some cases may be equidistant from all sides.iv.Simplifies area division.

Disadvantage:1. The central interior location limits the depth of the offices.

ii. It requires an access corridor around its perimeter.

Some examples of the central core:Equitable BuildingPlace Victoria office TowerAlcoa Building etcAll the above building cores are shown later. central core

Page 20: High rise  structure & core

Typology of Core

Off center core

Advantage: It permits all windows and the building perimeter space to be used for offices.It has more flexibility depth and arrangements of spaces.This can be particularly desirable where large open spaces are required

Disadvantages:Some problems of accessibilityThis is less suitable for the distant spaces and the corners of the building.A long corridor for accessibility is required.Less flexibility of tenant (rentel) distribution.

Off center core

Page 21: High rise  structure & core

Typology of CoreExterior core

Advantages:

It leaves the entire floor area of the building available for tenant use.The core does not complicate the floor plan either functionally of structurally.Maximum flexibility is achieved with respect to tenant distribution of office depth and plan layout.

Disadvantages:

In case of multi-tenant occupancy, the core requires a long access corridor thus the flexibility of tenant distribution is reduced.

The core occupied desirable window spaces, so that, the offices immediately adjacent to the core may not receive any natural light.

Exterior core

Page 22: High rise  structure & core

Typology of CoreDouble core

Advantage:

The double cores are placed on the hot sides (east, west) thus, provide buffer zones, and minimum air-conditioning is required.

The window openings run through north and south.Lift lobbies, stairways and toilets are naturally

ventilated and a view out is possible.The double core has more flexibility in floor area division.

Disadvantages:

If the building is not that big, then it becomes costly.

Some examples of the central core:One first national plazaOverseas Chinese Bank etc.

Aalto theater

Site Context

As is widely known, in Europe any new building is required to blend in with the other buildings in a street.The RWE Tower has the main building set back from the street, along with the pergola the height of which is aligned with the eaves of neighbouring houses. There was still need to obtain the special sanction of the municipal authorities to construct the skyscraper. As Achim Nagel, one of the IOK architects, explained, churches dating back to ancient times were the only tall buildings. The 12m height of the tower, including an aerial on the top, is the highest point in North-Rhine Westphalia, but does not look isolated, when it is seen from anywhere in the city. Its abstract and clear external appearance is essentially in harmony with the row of stores and houses in the street.Birds eye view of building with site

Page 44: High rise  structure & core

RWE TOWEREntrance Hall with Sense of SpaceThe elevator shafts are housed in a tower, detached from the main tower, so the ground floor has ample open space to share a continuity with the theater and the city park. On ts level, the columns are a significant factor in the design, to indicate that the building is supported by them, whereas a sense of space is available at the same time. As with the columns, the walls are rough concrete, and the surface is coated with water paint for protection.

Building FormWhen compared to other prismatic forms, the cylindrical shape is ideal in terms of the relationship between exterior surface and interior volume. It also optimizes aerodynamics, energy needs, surface distribution, and choice of prefabricated elements.

structureComposite structure grow in this tower building. Frame structure shows on the interior. Shear wall also support with column beam frame.

Transparent ElevatorsFour ordinary elevator shafts are installed in an independent tower built along side of the main building. Owing to their outside location, people can easily find where they are.

RWE TOWERSunny Boardroom on the Top FloorOn the top floor, the 2th floor of the RWE Tower, there is a boardroom for gatherings of the RWE Group executives from around the world. The ceiling of the boardroom is fitted with a large toplight, and the sunlight from it is regulated by an electric curtain. Not only its facade, but also its partition panels are mostly made of glass, so as to enhance to view of the surrounding area.

•Natural VentilationThe double skin allows natural ventilation in the tower.

Even the upper workspaces can enjoy natural air

control without having to fight wind gusts. Users can

control their own environment.

The natural ventilation in a high-rise could give rise to

the following fears: Actually, natural ventilation may

be restricted or influenced by such constructional

parameters as:

•facade layout,

•ventilation slits or louvres,

•air-tightness of windows and doors,

•design of doors (revolving doors,

opening and closing mechanisms).

Sun shading & thermal storageWhen the solar radiation is strong, the temperature inside the double-skin rises as in a greenhouse. model proved that the hotter the facade became relative to the surrounding air, the more remarkable the convection effect that was achieved, so as to carry out the sunshading function. Of course, the thermal storage effect becomes vital, when there is a need to warm the room as in the winter season.

Double SkinThe main concern of the design of this 31-storey cylindrical tower is natural ventilation. This is achieved by its double-leaf facade, which is intended to provide good natural ventilation for perimeter office areas. The space inside the facade is supplied with outside air through a meandering arrangement of intake and exhaust louvres.The double skin allows the RWE Tower to "breathe". It consists of an exterior sheet made of fixed glass panels - 2 x 3.m modules that permit air circulation through corresponding slots, and an interior sheet with operable panels. A solar protection system is installed between both layers, which are 50cm apart. Strips, placed on the setting lines for the exterior facade modules, are perforated on the right side and solid on the left side, at the lower level. The disposition is reversed on the upper level, next to the roof, which guarantees a minimum diagonal of ventilation and prevents the return of recently evacuated air back into the spaces. The interior layer of the double skin is a conventional facade, insulated by collapsible panels that can be controlled manually.
