MODERN TRENDS IN HIGH-RISE CONSTRUCTION

 

The increasing globalization of settlements, the improvement of living standards, increase of requirements to the comfort of living leads to the concentration of population in large cities and increasing the number of storeys of buildings.

Today in high-rise construction observes the following trends:

-        the increase in height of buildings;

-        development of multisectional high-rise building;

-        the emergence of a new type of multifunctional high-rise building, which comprises of retail, office, and residential apartments with a full range of services for residents;

-        the transition from the construction of individual buildings to the construction of high-rise complexes and high-rise building of neighborhoods and districts;

-        in the construction of tall buildings has been quite functional structure: the ground floor houses the entrances to the building, shops, restaurants, entertainment facilities (bowling alley, dance hall, etc.), cinemas, theatres, swimming pools, sports and fitness facilities; the floors located below ground level, placed parking lots, garages, service stations, functions of maintenance of buildings; on top of typical floors accommodate offices, residential apartments; on the top floor depending on the height of a building can to be the premises for physical training, penthouses, radio or TV station, observatory; directly placed on the roof observation deck, restaurant, cafe, solarium, swimming pool, helipad, engineering systems (signal lights, antennas, water tanks, etc.);

-        an increase in the use of reinforced concrete in pure form and in combination with steel; reinforced concrete structures are used in ceilings walls of elevator shafts, the outer and inner walls, and foundations;

-        the most rational design of the foundation – plate-pile;

-        with the flexibility of the building (ratio height to a smaller size in the plan) over 8 apply a damping device which dampens vibrations caused by wind loads;

-        reduces the application frame with stiffening diaphragms and braced frame consisting of frame-barreled structural system; most commonly used box-receiver system; an increase in the use of box system.

Listed global trends in high-rise construction fair for Ukraine, however, should be highlighted and the shortcomings of the domestic high-rise construction:

-        problems of transport and urban planning nature that arise after the construction of tall buildings in central parts of cities: when existing in the center of a fairly high density development creates traffic jams not only in this district, but the surrounding neighbourhood;

-        high risks associated with the design, construction and operation of tall buildings (for engineering geological surveys in inadequate quantities and quality, the underestimation of the complexity of geological conditions);

-        medical cautions.

Given these problems in the design of high-rise buildings in dense urban areas in major cities of Ukraine will contribute to improving the safety and reliability of high-rise buildings.

Учет указанных проблем при проектировании высотных зданий в условиях плотной городской застройки в крупных городах Украины будет способствовать повышению безопасности и надежности высотных зданий.
