Skyscraper construction
S
kyscrapers
start with a very large hole in the ground which
will contain the foundations,
several floors, and possibly even a metro or subway station.
The type of foundations depends on the nature of the ground. Usually they are made by drilling narrow, deep holes and filling them with reinforced concrete to form piles. Another method is to drive steel piles, as much as twenty metres in length, into the ground. A thick raft of concrete is laid on top of the piles.
V
ertical
steel columns are
bolted
to the foundations. Each
column rests
on a platform of steel to
spread the load.
Steel girders
are
fixed horizontally
from column to column to form
a
strong
framework.
Metal
decking
is laid across
the girders and filled with lightweight
liquid concrete.
When it sets,
it forms the floors.
D
ucts
are installed
below the floors to
carry
all services:
electricity,
water, drains. All metalwork
is fireproofed.
If a fire happens, it is important that the structure
can withstand
high temperatures without buckling.
The outside of the building is covered in cladding. This consists of prefabricated panels of materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, and glass.
