PLANNING AND SCHEDULING FOR HIGH RISE BUILDING
DEFINITION OF HIGH RISE

“High Rise Building” means a building exceeding 18.30m height”

CMDA,CHENNAI

A high-rise as "all buildings 15 m or above in height.

NBC, INDIA
 INTRODUCTION
• A high rise buildings became possible
with the invention of elevator(Lift)
• And cheaper abundant building
materials .

• Buildings between 23M to 50M high

are considered high rises.

• Buildings taller than 150 M are

classified as skyscraper.

• The average height of a level is

around 4M, thus a 24M tall building
would
• Comprise of 6 floors.

• The materials used for structural

system of high-rise buildings are
• Reinforced concrete, steel.

Factors involved in construction cycle of high rise building

FORMWORK

 The fast paced construction cycle is achieved through teamwork.

 The team carries predetermined sequence of synchronized activites.

 The designer must come to an understanding of how formwork

Contractor would like to use the newly completed segments of structure
To support formwork for the next floors in cycle.
FORMWORK CASTING CYCLE

 The formwork systems most often employed in rapid cycle work are
Conventional and ganged systems or flying truss system.

 Both of the systems transmit the weight of newly placed concrete

To the most recently cast floors below. The sequence involves four
Phases in each casting cycle
 FORMWORK CASTING CYCLE IN FLYING TRUSS
 Two or three cycle days can also be achieved in flying truss system. In some
cases the Truss supported panels are limited to a 2.4M width and are set
two foot clear side by side.

 Panels are lowered and decks re shored thereby not exceeding 2.4M clear span
limit.
OTHER FORMWORKS: ALUMA SYSTEMS

ALUMINUM FLYING FORMING SYSTEM

This highly mobile system speeds shoring of formwork on multiple story

buildings. Fully adjustable, it features lightweight aluminum trusses and
joists, which maneuver easily reducing flying time and labor costs.

BENEFITS:

•Lightweight aluminum trusses and joists maximize crane reach.

•Fast – generally a table can be stripped, flown and reset in about 15 to 20 minutes depending
on job site conditions.
•Fully adjustable system – table width, length and height are easily adjusted to fit most job
requirements.
•All truss modules are delivered preassembled thereby reducing on-site erection time and labor
costs.
•Full range of accessories available to tailor the system to fit most any flying table application.
OTHER FORMWORKS: MIVAN SYSTEMS

1. Setting up the wall reinforcing steel -

2. Placement of aluminium formwork 3.Pouring concrete –

The resulting structure is accurate, smooth and finished. It has

high tolerance and requires no further plastering. As a result, it
 The MIVAN system usually follows a four day cycle: -

Day 1: -The first activity consists of erection of vertical reinforcement bars and one side of
the vertical formwork for the entire floor or a part of one floor.

Day 2: -The second activity involves erection of the second side of the vertical formwork and
formwork for the floor

Day 3: - Fixing reinforcement bars for floor slabs and casting of walls and slabs.

Day 4: -Removal of vertical form work panels after 24hours, leaving the props in place for 7 days
and floor slab formwork in place for 2.5 days.
The DOKA system

DOKA CLIMBING FORMWORK (SKE PLUS)

The climbing scaffold can be combined with large-area formwork and with framed
formwork systems as well. they may result in saving hours of work due to the often
large number of similar casting sections and repetitive operations.

Mainly used for shafts and external walls of high rise buildings.

There are 3 types of climbing formwork

1.CRANE DEPENDENT FORMWORK:

When using a crane for lifting, it will lift the climbing scaffold and formwork
to the next section as one unit.

During lifting, climbing formwork not guided on the building are

completely detached from the structure and suspended freely from the crane.

The wind speed in which crane dependent formwork can be operated is 72km/h.

2.CRANE INDEPENDENT FORMWORK:

The preferred way of moving these climbing systems is through hydraulics, using
portable hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic units.

A single hydraulic unit can supply power for several hydraulic cylinders at once.
When crane capacity is available, some types are quickly lifted as well by means of a
crane.

3. ALL HYDRAULIC FORMWORKS

The principal difference to simple crane- independent climbing systems guided on the
building is the all-hydraulic equipment of climbing units.

They allow for safely climbing large platform gangs such as all platforms on the
outside of a core in a single lifting procedure without open fall hazard locations. Such
systems cannot be lifted via crane.
Factors involved in construction cycle of high rise build
…CONTD
CONCRETE : High strength concrete ( HSC)
 Continued developments in high-performance high-strength concretes are enabling
taller, lighter and more cost-effective high-rise construction.

 Using high-strength concrete means that the column size is reduced and therefore, the
amount of concrete, reinforcement and formwork required is consequently reduced.

 It also provides performance benefits of early high-strength, volume stability and

extended life cycle.

 High-strength concrete can also be used to reduce slab depths and, therefore, a
building’s overall height. This can result in significant cost savings whilst slimmer
high-strength concrete columns can increase the overall net area; again, more for less.

 High strength attained at an early period.

 Superior workability and pump ability.
