‘TALL BUILDINGS CHAPTER 5 STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS IN STEEL AND CONCRETE 5.1G! ‘NERAL, ‘The structural systems iy be classified as systems for carrying vertical or gravity loads ‘and systenss For transmitting lateral loads. This can be grouped as following: Structural Systems ie | ‘Systems for Resistin Systems for Resisting Vertical loads a | Horizontal loads 5.2 FLOOR SYSTEM The floor structure of tall billings does not defer substantially from those found in low ‘ise buildings. There are certain aspects and properties that must be emphasized such as im > Low dead weight of the floor. c > Capacity of the floor to handle loads during erection process, = > Suitability of articulation of the ducts and piping. ~ > Fire resistancg properties ed > Suitability of continuous construction us > Flimination of extensive shoring procedure bones oe - ~ 7D Wegner often SRAM 47
