high rise buildings as per the International Building Code (IBC2000) and the Building Construction and Safety Code, NFPA5000TM-2002, define high-rise buildings as buildings75 feet or greater in height measured from the lowest level of fire department vehicle access to the floor of the highest
As per NFPA IF Height of the building is more than meter is called high rise building
above then stories buildings are called high rise building
High rise buildings are the kind of buildings which are very tall ,having many floors or stories .such kind of buildings are very technical in plumbing design and fire fighting design.
Roughly we can consider a struture as a tall building when Height is great then5*Least planar dimension
75 feet (23 meters) in height, measured from the lowest level of fire department vehicle access to the floor of the highest occupiable story.
According to EMPORIS standard between 35m~100 m
NFPA standard more than 23 m (75 Feet height from fire services below)
ASHRAE standard more than 91 m
Paragraph 3.3.36.7 of NFPA 101®, Life Safety code, 2012 edition, defines a high-rise building as a building more than 75 feet (23 meters) in height, measured from the lowest level of fire department vehicle access to the floor of the highest occupiable story.
speaking of high rise building......it's constitute to construction of high elevated buildings , tower , chimney in so forth, in there's specific standard code applicable for the construction of the said high rise building
When designing the ground part, the range of heights from 101 to 125 m - 1.15 and above - 1.2. Under the influence of wind, the movement of the upper part of a high-rise building should not exceed 1/500 of its height, which ensures the safety of glass, as well as the operation, as well as the original operation of the elevators. Foreign trade began to chart to its 1/7 high. The rigidity of the construction of tall buildings should ensure the value of the acceleration of vibrations of the upper floors under the dynamic influence of the wind of not more than 0.08 m / s 2. Symmetrical arrangement of blocks and rigidity, possibly the distribution of more vertical loads on the load-bearing elements of the building, and for point buildings - a symmetric horizontal section approaching a square , also allows to improve the operating conditions of the building under load and increase its rigidity.
