Housing Tower Building DWG

Housing tower building

 A tower block, high-rise, apartment tower, residential tower, apartment block, block of œats, or oøce tower is a tall building or structure used as a residential and/or oøce building. In some areas it may be referred to as an “MDU”, standing for “Multi Dwelling Unit”.In the United States, such a structure is referred to as an apartment building or oøce building, while a group of such buildings is called an apartment complex or oøce complex.

High-rise buildings became possible with the invention of the elevator (lift) and cheaper, more abundant building materials. The materials used for the structural system of high-rise buildings are reinforced concrete and steel. Most North American style skyscrapers have a steel frame, while residential blocks are usually constructed of concrete. There is no clear diúerence between a tower block and a skyscraper, although a building with ıfty or more stories is generally considered a skyscraper.

 High-rise structures pose particular design challenges for structural and geotechnical engineers, particularly if situated in a seismically active region or if the underlying soils have geotechnical risk factors such as high compressibility or bay mud.
