High-rise

Abstract High-rise apartments are probably the fires posing most danger to life and property in residential areas. The spread of flame in high rise Buildings up the vertical walls has been studied computationally and experimentally all around the globe for decades now. Flames in the high-rise building fires can travel up the shafts provided for lifts, through spacing in the interior walls, up and down the stairwells and ductwork provided for air conditioning but one of the quickest ways the flames

the city of Burnaby, high-rise apartment appears to be a way to address this high population density by developing space in high altitude. Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds and Lougheed became a battleground for Real Estate developers. Up to now, around the Metrotown, more than 10 buildings are proposed and under construction of 30 layers more high-rise apartments while the upgradation of Metrotown Skytrain Station is in process at the same time. Why is Burnaby flooded with high-rise apartments? Burnaby

Study on Effectiveness of Outrigger Truss in Composite High-Rise Buildings by Simplified Method Ei Ei Khine - Ph.D Candidate, Department of Civil Engineering, Yangon Technological University, Yangon, Republic of the Union of Myanmar eekmayday83@gmail.com Abstract—The design of tall and slender structures is controlled by three governing factors, strength (material capacity), stiffness (drift) and serviceability (motion perception and accelerations), produced by the action of lateral loading, such

Concrete SAMPLING: The first step is to take a test sample from the large batch of concrete. This should be done as soon as discharge of the concrete commences. The sample should be representative of the concrete supplied. The sample is taken in one of two ways: 1. For purposes of accepting or rejecting the load: Sampling after 0.2 m3 of the load has been poured. 2. For routine quality checks: Sampling from three places in the load. Concrete Slump Test: This test is performed to check the consistency

Chapter 1 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 General Over the last few decades, large undivided volume buildings such as atrium buildings, covered shopping malls, and airport terminals have become increasingly popular. Atria are one of the modern building features that have been developed by architects and connecting more than 2 or three floors closed at the top to provide attractive space for the occupants. However atria present a big challenge for fire protection engineers as the automatic sprinkler system may

Sky Towers is a residential located in Ataşehir,Istanbul and consists of two housings ; one 41 storeys high and the other 31 storeys high which were build in 2011. It is mainly successfully build place, however it does occur to have a few problems. To begin with the architecture, Sky Towers is build in a post-modernistic style which can be seen in the geometrical straight lines and the contrasting rather traditional roofs of the buildings, combining popular and old fashioned aspects of architeture

Alexandra Morales ARC 5205 Advanced Theory Professor Neil Leach Pages: 16-45 Gramazio + Kohler, Made by Robots: Challenging Architecture at a Larger Scale The book questions whether the new digital technologies can impact and change the architectural and material practice of today, Gramazio & Kohler explored the potentials of robot- induced design and how robots can help enrich the physical nature of architecture, to inform the material processes and to merge the computational design with the construction

Introduction: With the development of the world, numbers of environmental issues were threatening people’s life, like rising Greenhouse gas emission. Buildings provide a connection between human society and sustainable environment, especially for Skyscraper (Ainger & Fenner 2013). Establishing a new Skyscraper in Darling Harbour is a plan for Company AIIHigh. Causing a large difference for both human being and environment. Darling Harbour is where has lager number of daily flow capacity, meeting

There are many problems that can be clearly seen in the inner city. Problems such as crime, poor housing (perhaps slums), and unemployment are all apparent. However unemployment levels are gradually dropping. Lack of money gives rise to the problems so are often seen in the lower class areas of cities. On the whole the perception of the inner-city areas has the image of poverty and overcrowding which faces many cities across Britain today in whatever proportion

how to engage in the trend of globalization and keep its unique culture and tradition. There are a large of numbers of cities in China undergoing a delirious wave of development. Traditional dwellings are demolished everyday replaced by high-rise commercial high-rise buildings which has no characteristic. The image of cities became similar and lost their identity. There are normally two ways to deal with this identity crisis. One way is to build landmark to display it character which always ignore
