Confluence of high-rise buildings with technology
In the world, new technical advancements have been occurring constantly. It is directly related to the quest for effective building materials that allow for the construction of structures that are taller, quicker, and safer. This presentation provides an overview of the major technical developments using a few tall structures constructed in the previous ten years as examples, with a focus on geometric shapes, structural systems, advanced damping systems, environmental sustainability etc.
Approach or Method
The variety of creative construction techniques used in high-rise structures nowadays in addition to their technological advances are astounding. Due to the magnitude of the problem, a unique strategy is needed to conduct a thorough investigation of the technical advancements employed in these structures. Consequently, an approach was created that contains the following components:
- Interpretation of gathered data based on written works, often addressing the issue of cutting-edge technology employed in finished constructions,
- Collecting data on the cutting-edge engineering of contemporary high-rise structures and producing images and films illustrating their construction,
- Conducting an architectural and construction examination of a few high-rise structures in accordance with a structured diagram, where the technologies used were substantially more sophisticated than in earlier projects.
A system like this made it easier to carry out an organized analysis, with a focus on the framework of the building, the construction system as a whole the vibration damping system, the ultra-strong reinforced concrete and steel, the low-emission glass, the two times or three times skin facades, and the elements crucial to the building’s energy efficiency.
Latest Geometric Structures in Building Design
High-rise structures were frequently envisioned as rectangular units with glass facades. Although functional and beautiful, these structures have a fairly monotonous appearance. Modern architecture is attempting to break up this monotony. Another tendency has emerged in addition to the widespread construction of sensible high-rise structures.
This is the practice of creating “iconic” structures that stand out for their size and shape. The significance of the design and mathematics of high-rise structures is demonstrated through an analysis of the wind’s motion on tall buildings.
Solid geometrical structures
Each contemporary skyscraper is composed of geometric structures (such as polyhedra, cylinders, spheres, circles, ellipsoids, and toruses) and surfaces that are curved.
The particular sorts of fundamental solids or surfaces that were employed in the entire or a portion of a structure can be determined by analyzing the building’s shape. Diverse methods of solids or surface deformation are utilized in addition to the physical makeup of a structure. In general, surfaces, solids of rotation, and polyhedra can be used to categorize spatial formations.
Solids with no surfaces of uprising, which are constrained by a surface that is closed of revolution or a toroidal shape such as a circle, ellipse, or other closed figure, make up the second category of geometric shapes. A sphere, ellipsoid, or torusoid with an ordinary part shaped like an oval or ellipse is contained inside it.
Surfaces make up the last category of spatial forms, and they come in the shapes of ruled surfaces (Catalana, conical, and cylindrical), surfaces with curves of an unchanged generatrix (rotary, toroidal, and translational), and curved surfaces of a variable generatrix (wedge, parabolic-elliptic, and minimal). Modern skyscrapers may be divided into the following categories from an architectural standpoint: extruder, rotor, twister, todos, and free form.
