ADVANTAGES OF LYSAGHT® BONDEK® II 1) Steel is a stronger material than timber, and with a deep profile the strength of the sheet is increased substantially This results in: - No time required to strip the formwork (deck) - Added safety conditions to working trades - Savings in time disruption to working trades Lysaght Bondek ® II w/o propping Conventional construction with propping ADVANTAGES OF LYSAGHT® BONDEK® II 2) The steel sheet is left in place and thus can be utilised as BOTTOM REINFORCMENT for the concrete slab The embossments on the top of the ribs provide the added grip, or bond, with the concrete as done in normal reinforcement This results in increased savings from: • Less cost of conventional reinforcement, and • Less time to install the conventional reinforcement.

After decades of the American office building being dominate, in the last twelve years we have observed a gradual but major shift from office use to residential and mixed-use for Tall Buildings, and from North America to Asia. The turn of the millennium has also seen major changes in the use of buildings in cities having the longest experience with Tall Buildings. Chicago is witnessing a series of office buildings being transformed into residential or mixed-use buildings, a phenomenon also occurring on a large scale in New York. In midtown Manhattan of New York City we note the transformation of major hotels into residential projects. The transformation of landmark projects in midtown New York City is making an impact, but it is not at all comparable to the number of new projects being built in Asia. When conceiving new projects, we should perhaps bear in mind that, in due time, these will also experience major shifts in uses and we should plan for this in advance.

This paper reviews the evolution of tall building’s structural systems and the technological driving force behind tall building developments. For the primary structural systems, a new classification – interior structures and exterior structures – is presented. While most representative structural systems for tall buildings are discussed, the emphasis in this review paper is on current trends such as outrigger systems and diagrid structures. Auxiliary damping systems controlling building motion are also discussed. Further, contemporary “out-of-the-box” architectural design trends, such as aerodynamic and twisted forms, which directly or indirectly affect the structural performance of tall buildings, are reviewed. Finally, the future of structural developments in tall buildings is envisioned briefly. Keywords: Aerodynamics, Building forms, Damping systems, Diagrid structures, Exterior structures, Interior structures, Outrigger systems, Structural performance, Structural systems, Tall buildings Introduction Tall buildings emerged in the late nineteenth century in revolution – the steel skeletal structure – as well as consequent the United States of America. They constituted a so-called glass curtain wall systems, which occurred in Chicago, has led to “American Building Type,” meaning that most important tall the present state-of-the-art skyscraper.

  • Teacher Background
    Teacher Background Inquiry Description In many parts of the world today, notably in Asia, societies are rapidly transforming. A major part of this transformation is urbanization, the flocking of people from the countryside to cities. A sign of this transformation is the construction of tall buildings. Since the Lincoln Cathedral surpassed the Pyramids of Egypt in 1300 CE, all of the tallest buildings in the world were in Europe and North America. Then, in 1998, the Petronas Towers opened in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Today the five tallest buildings are in Asia (One World Trade Center in New York City is #6) These areas are being transformed because of their integration into the world economic system that itself was the result of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century in Western societies and the subsequent growth and expansion of those western societies. Interestingly, tall buildings, known as skyscrapers, were a sign of urbanization and industrial growth in Europe and North America at that time. This unit explores the connections between industrialization, urbanization, and skyscrapers, and how it was that skyscrapers were able to be built when and how they were. Key areas of attention will be building materials and related technologies that allowed for taller structures. Teachers are encouraged to use the following notes as they prepare for this unit, and additional secondary resources are listed at the end of this document. Historical Background Agriculture and Monumental Architecture In the long arc of human history, there are two interesting phenomena that might seem separate, but in hindsight are closely related. On the one hand, people have continually intensified their food production, leading to the ability to sustain larger populations on the same amount of land with fewer direct food producers.

  • Economics Planning of Super Tall Buildings in Asia Pacific Cities
    Economics Planning of Super Tall Buildings in Asia Pacific Cities Dr Paul H K HO, Hong Kong SAR, China Key words: economics planning, super tall building, Asia Pacific SUMMARY The purpose of this paper is to study the economics planning of super tall office buildings in Asia Pacific cities. This study is based on the case study of the Asia Pacific’s 10 tallest buildings which are distributed over six major cities. All are landmark buildings with similar functions. From the analysis of the collected data, the floor plate of these buildings is comparatively large, thus achieving a fairly high lettable to gross floor ratio of about 80% and low wall to floor area ratio of about 0.33. The most common lease span is approximately 12m with column-free between its service core and exterior window. The most common floor-to-floor height is about 4.0m. Square or similar plan is the most common geometry in super tall buildings since this geometry offers the same stiffness in both directions against lateral wind forces. Typically the building is in form of a large podium at lower levels with a setback in the overall floor plan dimension in the main tower and a slightly tapered shape at its top floors. The central core approach in which the core is designed as a structural element to provide stability is commonly used in super tall buildings. By using slip-form or jump-form techniques, a 3 to 4-day cycle is achievable for core wall construction which is similar to steel construction.

  • Malaysia- Kuala Lumpur- Office Q3 2020
    M A R K E T B E AT KUALA LUMPUR Office Q3 2020 YoY 12-Mo. Record Economic Contraction in Q2 Chg Forecast Malaysia’s economy shrank by 17.1% y-o-y in Q2 2020, a worse than expected outcome. This was the first contraction since the third quarter of RM6.03 2009, and the steepest fall since the fourth quarter of 1998 Asian Financial Crisis. The sharp downturn reflects the dire impact of domestic and global Average Asking Rent (MYR/sf/mo) measures taken in Q2 to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the closure of non-essential businesses and social distancing implemented. Tourism, manufacturing and investment were among the primary sectors hit by the lockdown imposed in the middle of March. Some -1.31% sectors are still struggling to cope in the aftermath of the suspension of economic activity during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period. The Rental Growth (YOY) Government has also announced the extension of the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) from August 31 to December 31 in response to a resurgence in new daily cases. 22.7% Vacancy Rate Leasing Activity Remains Stagnant Source: IVPS / Cushman & Wakefield Research Office leasing demand in Kuala Lumpur remained sluggish at the end of Q2. The situation is expected to persist, with most firms adapting to a new normal of staff working from home or rotating between remote and in-office working.
