TALL STRUCTURES AND IS16700 - 2017

Openings in Diaphragms Materials

TALL BUILDING
The definition of tall building is subjective, that is defined against Minimum grade -M 30.
various perspectives i.e. Height relative to context, Proportion Maximum grade - M 70.
Embracing Technology
According to various height classifies as
tall, sky scraper, super tall, mega tall
IS 16700-2017 Wind effects
This standard is applicable for RC buildings of
height >50m & ≤250m. Min design wind shears and moments -higher of
Code specially guide for, 1) wind tunnels studies
- Wind and seismic effects , 2) 70% of that derived based on IS 875 (Part 3), and Wind
- Cracked and uncracked properties of concrete members for distribution as per wind tunnel study
analysis, Tensional velocity below 0.003 rad/s for 10 year return period.
- Foundation issues, The damping ratio <2%
- Structural health monitoring,
- The software for structural analysis and modelling of building Building Use Maximum Peak Combined
- Guidelines for Approval Process for code exceeding buildings, Acceleration(m/s2)
