  • High-Hise Building Oata Base
    High-Hise Building Oata Base Since the inception of the Council, various surveys have been made con­ cerning the location, number of stories, height, material, and use of tall buildings around the world. The first report on these surveys was published in the Council's Proceedings of the First International Conference in 1972. TaU Building Systems and Concepts (Volume SC) brought that information up to date with a detailed survey in 1980. Changes to some of the data were reflected in Developments in TaU Buildings-1983, with further updating in Advances in TaU Buildings (January, 1986), High-Rise Buildings: Recent Progress (November, 1986), and TaU Build­ ings 0/ the World (February, 1987). This present volume provides the newer information more recently received. The original survey was based mainly on information collected from individuals in the major cities of the world. The main criterion for the selection of a city was generally its population. Another criterion was the availability of a Council member or other contact who might provide the needed information. This Appendix updates Table l. Because the data came from so many sourees, complete accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Buildings change names or new ones break ground, and this information is sometimes slow in reaching the Council headquarters. In this sense the survey keeps its nature as a "living document." Additions and corrections to the information presented here are welcomed, and should be brought to the attention of Council Headquarters at Lehigh University. 1003 1004 Second Century of the Skyscraper Table 1: World's TaUest Buildings.

    International Journal of Advanced Research in Engineering& Management (IJAREM) ISSN: 2456-2033 || PP. 01-06 An Exploratory Case Study on Bira, the Indian Craft Beer Dr. Deepa Nair Associate Professor, ITM Kharghar 1. About Beer: An Introduction Of all the alcoholic beverages available, the world‘s most widely consumed alcoholic beverage is Beer. It is the oldest prepared beverage, dating back to the prehistoric times and present in the ancient civilizations of the world. It is said that during the construction of the grand pyramids of Giza, the workers would get 5-6 liters of beer as incentives.Beer in India is well known even before the arrival of Europeans and the Vedas mention a beer like drink called the ‗Sura.‘It was traditionally prepared in India from Rice or Millet. Megesthenes in his work ‗Indica‘ has mentioned about Rice beer in ancient India. Kautilya too talks about two intoxicating rice beer – ‗Medaka and Prasanna‘ Not only the oldest prepared beverage it is also the third most widely consumed brew after tea and Coffee. The basic ingredient of Beer is water, then a starch source like malted barley, yeast for fermentation and flavoring matter like ‗hops.‘ In fact, the major role of the ‗hop‘ is to enable fermentation. A popular drink worldwide, it has adapted and changed over the years. Till now India had the lowest consumption of Beer Per Capita in Asia. The Business Monitor Indiaopines that conservative attitudes, licensing regulations, restrictions on sale of alcohol in certain states and preference for local spirits could be the key reason for this scenario.
