 Shear wall system
• A type of rigid frame construction.
• The shear wall is in steel or concrete to provide greater lateral
rigidity. It is a wall where the entire material of the wall is employed
in the resistance of both horizontal and vertical loads.
• Is composed of braced panels (or shear panels) to counter the
effects of lateral load acting on a structure. Wind & earthquake loads
are the most common among the loads.
• For skyscrapers, as the size of the structure increases, so
does the size of the supporting wall. Shear walls tend to be used only
in conjunction with other support systems.

FRAMED-TUBE STRUCTURES]
The lateral resistant of the framed-tube structures is provided by very
stiff moment-resistant frames that form a “tube” around the
perimeter
of the building.

The basic inefficiency of the frame system for reinforced concrete

buildings of more than 15 stories resulted in member proportions
of prohibitive size and structural material cost premium, and thus
such system were economically not viable.

The frames consist of 6-12 ft (2-4m) between centers, joined by deep

spandrel girders.

Gravity loading is shared between the tube and interior column or

walls.

When lateral loading acts, the perimeter frame aligned in the

direction of loading acts as the “webs” of the massive tube of the
cantilever, and those normal to the direction of the loading act as the
“flanges”.
The tube form was developed originally for building of rectangular
plan, and probably it’s most efficient use in that shape.

The ability to modulate the

This variation of the framed tube Building, Kuala Lumpur
consists of an outer frame tube,
the “Hull,” together
with an internal elevator and
service core.

The Hull and core act jointly in

resisting both gravity and lateral
loading.

The outer framed tube and the

inner core interact horizontally as
the shear and flexural components
of a wall-frame structure, with the
benefit of increased lateral
stiffness.

The structural tube usually adopts

a highly dominant role because of
its much greater structural depth.

 Foundation Types
• Raft foundation: one of the most common foundation. It is known for its load distributing
capability. With the usage of this type of foundation the enormous load of the building gets
distributed & helps the building stay upright and sturdy. Loads are transferred by raft into the
ground.
• Pile foundation: used for high rise construction. load
of building is distributed to the ground with the help
of piles. Transfer the loads into the ground with an
Adequate factor of safety.
• Combined raft-pile: is the hybrid of 2 foundation. It
Consists of both the pile and raft foundation. Useful
in marshy sandy soil that has low bearing capacity.
CONSTUCTION METHODS AND TECHNIQUES
Slip forming, continuous poured, continuously formed, or slip form
construction is a construction method in which concrete is poured into
a continuously moving form. Slip forming is used for tall structures (such
as bridges, towers, buildings, and dams), as well as horizontal structures,
such as roadways. Slip forming enables continuous, non-interrupted,
cast-in-place "flawless" (i.e. no joints) concrete structures which have
superior performance characteristics to piecewise construction using
discrete form elements. Slip forming relies on the quick-setting
properties of concrete, and requires a balance between quick-setting
capacity and workability. Concrete needs to be workable enough to be
placed into the form and consolidated (via vibration), yet quick-setting
enough to emerge from the form with strength. This strength is needed
because the freshly set concrete must not only permit the form to "slip"
upwards but also support the freshly poured concrete above it.

In vertical slip forming the concrete form may be surrounded by a

platform on which workers stand, placing steel reinforcing rods into the
concrete and ensuring a smooth pour. Together, the concrete form and
working platform are raised by means of hydraulic jacks. Generally, the
slipform rises at a rate which permits the concrete to harden by the time
it emerges from the bottom of the form
SLIP FORM CONSTRUCTION

Slipforming is an economical, rapid and accurate method

of constructing reinforced concrete. At its most basic
level, slipforming is a type of movable formwork which is
slowly raised,
allowing the continuous extrusion of concrete.
CLIMB FORM CONSTRUCTION

CLIMB FORM CONSTRUCTION

is an economical, rapid and accurate method of
constructing reinforced concrete, or post-tensioned
concrete structures. At its most basic level, slipforming is
a type of movable formwork which is slowly raised,
allowing the continuous extrusion of concrete.
TABLE FORM/FLYING FORM
A table form/flying form is a large pre-assembled
formwork
and falsework unit, often forming a complete bay
of
suspended floor slab. It offers mobility and quick
installation
for construction projects with regular plan layouts
or long
repetitive structures, so is highly suitable for flat
slab, and
beam and slab layouts. It is routinely used for
residential flats, hotels, hostels, offices and
commercial buildings.
SYSTEM COLUMN FORMWORK
The column formwork systems now available are normally
modular in nature and allow quick assembly and erection
on-site while minimising labour and crane time. They
are available in steel, aluminium and even cardboard
(not reusable but recycled) and have a variety of internal
face surfaces depending on the concrete finish required.
Innovations have led to adjustable, reusable column forms
which can be clamped on-site to give different column sizes.
VERTICAL PANEL SYSTEMS
Crane-lifted panel systems are commonly used on
building sites to form vertical elements and usually
consist
of a steel frame with plywood, steel, plastic or
composite
facing material.
The systems are normally modular in nature,
assembly
times and labour costs are considerably lower than
traditional formwork methods with far fewer
components
required. They offer greater opportunities for reuse
for
different applications on site.
Panel systems are extremely flexible and the larger
crane-lifted versions can be used for constructing
standard
concrete walls, perimeter basement walls, columns
and in
conjunction with jump form climbing systems.
 JUMP FORM SYSTEMS
Generally, jump form systems comprise the formwork and
working platforms for cleaning/fixing of the formwork,
steel
fixing and concreting. The formwork supports itself on the
concrete cast earlier so does not rely on support or access
from other parts of the building or permanent works.
Jump form, here taken to include systems often
described as climbing form, is suitable for construction
of multi-storey vertical concrete elements in high-rise
structures, such as shear walls, core walls, lift shafts, stair
shafts and bridge pylons. These are constructed in a
staged process. It is a highly productive system designed
to increase speed and efficiency while minimising labour
and crane time.
Systems are normally modular and can be joined to
form long lengths to suit varying construction geometries.
Three types of jump form are in general use:
 TYPES OF JUMP FORM
Normal jump/climbing form –
units are individually
lifted off the structure and relocated at the next
construction level using a crane.

Guided-climbing jump form –

also uses a crane but
offers greater safety and control during lifting as units
remain anchored/guided by the structure.

Self-climbing jump form –

does not require a crane as
it climbs on rails up the building by means of
hydraulic
jacks, or by jacking the platforms off internal recesses
in the structure. It is possible to link the hydraulic
jacks and lift multiple units in a single operation.
TUNNEL FORM
Tunnel form is used to form
repetitive cellular structures,
and is widely recognised as a
modern innovation that
enables the construction of
horizontal and vertical
elements (walls and floors)
together.
Significant productivity benefits
have been
achieved by using tunnel form to
construct cellular
buildings such as hotels, low- and
high-rise housing,
hostels, student accommodation,
prison and barracks
accommodation.
