Multi-storey Structures Multi-storey Structures ~ these buildings are usually designed for office. hotel or residential use and contain the means of vertical circulation in the form of stairs and lifts occupying up to 20% of the floor area. These means of circulation can be housed within a ee core inside the structure and this can be used to provide a degree 4 ‘of restraint to sway due to lateral wind pressures (see next page).
