Wind forces can break the building’s load path or punch a hole in the building envelope. Sometimes the actual force of high winds can cause a door or window to break open. Other times nearby debris can be picked up in the wind and projected against the building envelope.

Wind is essentially the large scale horizontal moment of free air. It plays an important role in the design of tall structures because it exerts load on the building. High Rise Building- A building having height more then 15m as per NBC 2005 of india is called High rise building.
An external load whose line of action is parallel but does not coincide with the centroidal axis of the component/structure on which load is applied is known as an eccentric load. Whereas, the perpendicular distance between the centroidal axis and line of action of the load is known as eccentricity.

While columns and load-bearing walls keep buildings standing up, carrying the compression load of the structure down to its foundation, the shear wall is what keeps structures from blowing over, resisting the lateral forces of wind and seismic activity.

Steel stair designs provide a strong, durable, safe, and flexible solution for any stair project. Metal stair designs in either carbon steel or stainless steel can fit many different applications and design specifications. Steel staircases can be designed to be both cost-effective and visually appealing.

Further innovations in the flat tube /pipe column method are now being utilized. On-site precast slabs, apartment size or slightly smaller, are being lifted to form the apartment floors. The slabs for another three – s tory, twelve – unit building are supported on bearing walls. The change from the bearing wall to the pipe

Seismic analysis is a tool for the estimation of structural response in the process of designing earthquake resistant structures and/or retrofitting vulnerable existing structures. In principle, the problem is difficult because the structural response to strong earthquakes is dynamic, nonlinear and random.

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its height by its width. For a square you only need to find the length of one of the sides (as each side is the same length) and then multiply this by itself to find the area. This is the same as saying length2 or length squared.

Calculation of depth and width of continuous beam:- Total depth = effective depth + diameter of bar/2 + clear cover size. Width of beam = Depth/1.5 ( width of beam should not be less than 200 mm). Total depth of beam = effective depth + diameter of bar/2 + clear cover size.

Reinforced concrete, concrete in which steel is embedded in such a manner that the two materials act together in resisting forces. The reinforcing steel—rods, bars, or mesh—absorbs the tensile, shear, and sometimes the compressive stresses in a concrete structure.

Post tension slab is a combination of conventional slab reinforcement and additional protruding high-strength steel tendons, which are consequently subjected to tension after the concrete has set. This hybridisation helps achieve the formation of a much thinner slab with a longer span devoid of any column-free spaces.

The design of pile foundation involves providing adequate pile type, size, depth, and number to support the superstructure load without excessive settlement and bearing capacity failure. … The resistance to the applied structural load is derived mainly from the frictional resistance developed at the soil–pile interface.
