A 100-unit building can be many different sizes from a mid-rise of 5 floors to a luxury high-rise apartment complex. The length of the ‘wing’ of the building is dependent on safe mean of escape in fire, and normally alternative fire exits are required at either end of the corridor. The table also provides guidance on the design of composite slabs used in residential buildings. Additionally, a flat soffit is achieved - there are none of the interruptions found with downstand beams - which gives complete freedom for the distribution of services below the floor. The first high rise block was the ten storey block, ‘The Lawn’ at Harlow, Essex, designed by Frederick Gibberd (1908-84) and completed in 1951. Steel systems of all types are designed and detailed by compatible software that is used in the manufacturing process and can be incorporated into the BIM system easily. Standard air-tightness testing involves large fans imposing an internal pressure of 50 Pa within the building. A depth of 450mm is possible using such shallow floor systems. The long-span beams at podium level are often perforated with large web openings to allow the services to be distributed horizontally. The modules are clad in a variety of materials and steel balconies are connected to the modules. 150, 200, 250 or 300 mm deep for floor joists.

Approved Document E[4] specifies the minimum levels of airborne sound reduction between dwellings, which is defined by a parameter DnT,w combined with a low frequency correction factor, Ctr. An added benefit is that some forms of shallow floor construction inherently achieve composite interaction between the beams and slab, thereby enhancing structural efficiency. In residential buildings, the plasterboard ceiling is suspended below the beams and floor slab. A variety of steel building technologies may be used in this sector, including structural steel frames, Infill walling, floor decking, lightweight façade and roofing systems, and modular systems. Similarly, when a residential building is constructed over a car park, the column on the upper levels must take into account the efficient use of the car parking space below. Floor joists can be installed as individual sections or as part of a pre-fabricated floor cassette. The upper levels should have a separate entrance area and means of escape in fire, which often leads to use of multiple braced steel or concrete cores, which can be designed to provide stability to the super-structure. Japanese firm Kengo Kuma is also building a high-rise building in Vancouver's West End. Also, vertical ducts through the floor or floor slab have to be fire protected to prevent passage of smoke or flame in a potential fire. In housing, the benefits of steel construction are related to reduced cash flow and early completion of the show house and the early phases of the project, which therefore encourages sale of the later phases. A multistory building higher than 21m or 21 to 29 floor buildings with unknown height described as high-rise structure. Therefore reduction of loading, and achieving the required acoustic attenuation and fire resistance are key design issues affecting the design solution, which are solved by use of steel construction technologies. building elements of high-rise buildings is no longer applicable to Group H-2, H-3 and H-5 occupancies due to the high physical hazard level such uses pose. Shigeru Ban is also working on a project for the city. In this case, the architectural concept has to be such that the repetitive use of modules of similar size can be used efficiently. In the social housing sector, housing associations take a longer term view of the overall building economics, which would include issues such as maintenance, design life, and flexibility in use to meet future housing needs. The benefits of steel in residential and mixed use buildings are summarised as follows: All steel construction uses pre-fabricated components that are rapidly installed on site. Some features of modern steel fabrication and construction relevant to multi-storey residential buildings are as follows: Best practice in the construction of steel-framed residential buildings is available in SCI EP36. Steel and composite construction has achieved a significant market share in the medium-rise residential sector in the UK because of the need to build quickly, particularly in urban projects. Single span, simply supported floors consisting of 150mm deep composite floor slabs may also be carried by the light steel walls, where a very thin floor is required. The use of steel in the housing and residential building sector has grown in recent years primarily because of the growing appreciation of the performance benefits that arise from the offsite nature of the construction process, which is particularly important in urban or mixed-use buildings. The acoustic floor system is common to all forms of construction and consists of battens, resilient layer and boarding, or alternative a mineral wool layer on which the boarding is placed. With hollowcore slabs, the reinforcement is placed in alternative cores of the precast unit. The nature of this type of building is that floor spans are in the range of 5 to 7m, and allow for flexibility in the positioning of internal walls to optimise on the layout of the apartments. typically 5 to 5.4m and 7.5 to 8m spacing. Guidance is presented in SCI P262. 12mm dia. The housing and residential sector demands buildings that are energy efficient, rapid to construct and of high quality. An example of this type of modular building for military accommodation is shown. The minimum DnT,w +Ctr limt is 45dB for tests on new dwellings. An example of a modular residential building for a housing association is shown, in which the modules are supported on a first floor podium with ground floor offices below. They are typically 150-300mm deep and are sized and designed using Westok’s freely available Cellbeam software package based on each individual project requirements and floor grids etc. Second edition, SCI P301 Building design using cold formed steel sections: Light steel framing in residential buildings, SCI P302 Modular construction using light steel framing – Design of residential buildings, SCI P320 Acoustic performance of light steel framed systems, SCI P328 Case studies on residential buildings using steel, SCI P329 Multi-storey residential buildings using steel: Steel technologies to meet new housing demands, SCI P332 Steel in multi-storey residential buildings, SCI P336 Acoustic detailing for multi-storey residential buildings, SCI P343 Insulated render systems used with light steel framing, SCI P354 Design of Floors for Vibrations- A New Approach, SCI P367 Energy efficient housing using light steel framing, SCI P370 Sustainability of steel in housing and residential buildings, SCI P372 Acoustic detailing for steel construction, SCI EP36 Best Practice in Steel Construction: Residential Buildings, SCI P402 Light steel framing in residential consrtuction, Target Zero: Guidance on the Design and Construction of Sustainable Low carbon Mixed-Use Buildings, Steel Construction: Floor Vibration, BCSA, 2016, Costing Steelwork 5 – Residential / Mixed-use Buildings, April 2018, https://www.steelconstruction.info/index.php?title=Residential_and_mixed-use_buildings&oldid=12862, 20 to 40% reduction in construction time relative to site-intensive construction, depending on the scale of the project, The economic benefit depends on the type of project- for example, a student residence has to be delivered often within one academic year. Cladding systems to light steel infill walls or to light steel load-bearing structures are similar and fall into three generic categories: Examples of these forms of cladding system used on light steel residential buildings are shown below. The cost range is between $20 and $150 million. To mobilise ‘Plug Composite Action’, the following detailing should be adopted: In residential buildings, light steel walls are widely used, both as infill walling at the facade and as internal separating walls. Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government, SCI P262 Durability of Light Steel Framing in Residential Building. bar reinforcement for simply supported slabs plus 15mm ceiling board, Structural steel frames supporting either, Structural systems that can accommodate a variable plan form and avoids obstructions or existing services in the ground, Light weight construction systems to minimise ground works, Fast construction systems with minimum disturbance to the neighbouring buildings, Variety of architectural treatments, such as curved facades and roofs, and creation of private space by, Minimum floor-to-floor height to keep within planning limits for overall building height, Street-scape created by ground floor retail units with a compatible structural grid to the residential levels above. PV and solar thermal panels are now conventional technologies which can be easily attached to light steel roofs. The walls can resist vertical loads up to 100kN/m as a line load, typical of their use in a 7 storey building. Load bearing walls or columns are positioned so that they are supported by the steel beams of the transfer structure. For composite slabs with metal decking the reinforcement is placed in the troughs of the metal decking. The following figures show the typical acoustic build-ups in floors and walls for light steel framing and for composite floor construction. Various structural systems are available to be used in the construction of high rise building. The modules are also constructed with integral balconies. SP 7 : 2016 National Building Code of India 2016 (NBC 2016) The National Building Code of India (NBC), a comprehensive building Code, is a national instrument providing guidelines for regulating the building construction activities across the country. In this and other similar projects, a podium level is created at first floor on which the modules are placed. Solid in-situ slabs: Concrete cast level with (or above) the top flange, Services (mechanical , electrical & lifts) 15 to 20%, Finishes and fitments 20 to 25%, Site management (preliminaries) 10 to 15%, Photovoltaic (PV) panels attached to the roof, Solar thermal hot water panels attached to the roof, Combined heat and power (CHP, which may be suitable for larger projects). It works as a structural floor and transfer slab for loads from the above superstructure to the walls and columns below. Commissioned by Bosa Properties and Kingswood Properties in partnership, the concept includes curvaceous, light-filled towers and a publicly-accessible ground level plaza for community engagement. The TFEE rate, which is a target introduced in 2013 for new dwellings only, is expressed as the amount of energy demand in kilowatt-hours per square metre of floor area per year. Similarly, when a residential building is constructed over a car park, the column on the upper levels must take into account the efficient use of the car parking space below. USFB with precast hollocore slabs(Image courtesy of Kloeckner Metals UK Westok), USFB with deep decking(Image courtesy of Kloeckner Metals UK Westok). In semi-detached and detached housing, the span of the floors depends on the plan form of the building. A typical plan form of a mixed modular and steel framed structure is shown. Use installed with foil-backed plasterboard or with a separate membrane in rooms with a high humidity environment. The construction process is improved, is faster and disturbance is reduced through the use of offsite manufactured steel components. They can be reconfigured in the future to meet new demands or even change of use. These benefits should be considered in the context of a given project to identify when they are most appropriate. Sufficient composite action occurs between the decking and concrete so that it is generally the construction condition that controls the maximum spans that can be achieved. U-values of less than 0.15W/m2K were achieved as in the project in South Wales (shown). Also, many sites are next to busy roads and railway lines and so questions of isolation to external noise and vibration are important design issues. Steel construction is inherently non-combustible and does not add to the fire load. The podium-type building, consisting of five levels of wood-frame construction and a concrete base, is expected to be completed in 2021. During construction(Image courtesy of Rollalong), Completed building(Image courtesy of East Thames Housing Association). Use sleeves around pipes at the airing cupboard to roof space junction, Use external rigid sheathing boards or double layers of plasterboards internally, plus the above measures in quality controlled manufacture. A further feature of hotels in urban areas is that the ground floor is used for a restaurant and lobby and sometimes retail outlets, so that the bedrooms on the upper levels are constructed on a ground floor podium similar to other mixed-use buildings. We will never give your details to anyone else without your consent. The high-rise buildings will be located on Alberni Street in Vancouver's West End neighbourhood. Further cost information is available here. The floor slab may be in the form of a precast concrete slab or a composite slab with metal decking (either shallow or deep decking may be used). To restrain the top-flange of the USFB in the Normal Stage, the insitu concrete should be cast flush with or over the top-flange, in which case a minimum cover of 30mm is recommended. For more details, please see our privacy notice. Other functional requirements for podium structures are fire resistance and structural integrity as key elements, and distribution of services and pipes from the upper levels. This should be supplemented by effective and controlled ventilation of the internal space. Guidance on the design of sustainable mixed-use buildings is given in the Target Zero design guide on mixed-use buildings. Indeed, the steel structure can enhance the appearance by permitting use of interesting features, such as large patio doors, mansard roofs, and projecting balconies. The precast concrete slabs may be designed to act compositely with the steel beams and if so, the steel beams must be at least 190mm wide to provide support to the precast units and to allow sufficient space around the shear connectors. Mansard shaped roofs can be created in light steel framing. Podium slab construction techniques The table shows the typical thickness of external insulation in to achieve given U-values. Steel technologies would be considered strongly at this stage because they are procured through specialist sub-contractors with a proven track record, and are installed rapidly on site with minimum contractual risk. Similarly, in hotels, the client related benefits of speed of construction can be quantified and each month of early occupancy can be equivalent to 1% of the build cost. Guidance on the design of light steel construction in residential buildings is given in SCI P402. Different but visually compatible architectural treatment of the public spaces and the residential space. Because of this, steel shallow floor systems have proved popular because they provide a floor depth of less than 400mm, and achieve excellent acoustic insulation and fire resistance. Welcome to the Home page of Stephenson Engineering. The USFB is manufactured from standard rolled sections, and is available in increments of 1mm depth. The transfer structure is designed to support the weight of the building above. Information on energy efficient housing using light steel framing can be found in SCI P367. For simply supported slabs, additional bar reinforcement is generally required in the ribs of the decking. For taller buildings, an additional braced core or in some cases, a concrete core is used to provide stability to the group of modules. More information is given in SCI P320, SCI P336 and SCI P372. This is important in large urban projects in tight infill locations or in mixed-use buildings, for example when residential units are built over a retail or commercial area. A particular requirement of infill walls is that should provide for relative movement with respect to the supporting structure and a minimum of 10mm is allowed in steel-framed buildings depending on the span of the edge beams (up to 6m in this case). For example, the steel structure is 100% recyclable, repeatedly and without any degradation; the speed of construction and reduced disruption of the site gives local environmental benefits. At 105 and 117 metres tall, the project represents the first high-rise project in Canada for the practice. Condensation is a phenomenon where warm moist air condenses on cold surfaces. In housing, the plasterboard is either directly fixed to the floor joists or indirectly via resilient bars fixed to the joists. At the rear of the building, facing Highway 401, the tower will step back 3.9 metres above the 11th floor. The construction programme for a typical residential building project is presented below: In the context of housing and residential buildings, the principal sustainability issues to address include how to minimise operational energy use, particularly in the heating, and lighting systems and any specific planning requirements for renewable energy systems. The modules are tied together at their corners so that loads can be transferred between them both in normal conditions and in extreme cases of loss of support from below (called ‘structural integrity’ or ‘robustness’ in the Building Regulations). The concrete pouring of the core wall is ongoing and has reached the 5th podium level. bar reinforcement for simply supported slabs, A193 mesh for continuous slabs. Such floors are supported by the Z section over the walls and spans of up to 5m are possible. 2850 mm, Steel construction is less than half the weight of an equivalent concrete structure, which is equivalent to a 30% reduction in overall foundation loads, Foundation costs for residential buildings represent 5 to 10% of the building cost. SCI P328 gives case studies on residential buildings using steel. This effect is minimised by ensuring that cold spots on the internal surface of the building are within limits (normally 10% of the temperature of the rest of the wall). The primary structure is steel frame using a shallow floor system with columns arranged on a 7.5m spacing on the facades and at a spacing internally to suit the use of the car parking level. flat slabs. This is achieved by using asymmetric steel beams with a wider bottom than top flange, which enables the slab to sit on the upper surface of the bottom flange with adequate bearing, rather than the upper surface of the top flange as found with downstand beams. These are described below; Light steel framing consists of C sections that are cold roll-formed from galvanised steel strip of 1.2 to 2.4mm thickness. Spans of 3.5 to 6m can be designed with joists normally at 400mm spacing. Fire safety is very important in residential buildings and is characterised by: The following table presents the typical thickness and number of boards required for light steel walls and floors for fire by the use of fire resistant plasterboard (known as type F to BS EN 520[3]). Prefab Apartment Building Cost . The walls are braced to resist horizontal loading, and bracing may be in the form of integral K or W bracing using C sections or X bracing using flat strip. Modular construction consists of 3-D or volumetric units that are generally of room size, and a group of modules can be arranged to provide a stable building form. This requires a rapid construction programme often with the constraints of nearby buildings remaining in operation during term time. Architects and civil engineers in the USA are likely to call it a parking structure since their work is all about structures and since that term is the vernacular in some of the western United States. The important design requirements for urban residential buildings are: Good examples of the use of steel in urban residential projects are shown. The BRE SmartLife study[1] investigated four house building systems (light steel, timber, concrete and block-work) on three different sites in Cambridgeshire. However, an important requirement of 3 storey housing is the means of escape in fire, which requires that all doors to the stairs are self-closing and have 30 minutes fire resistance. It utilizes a modernized building security system with the use of tap cards, … Vapour check plasterboards may be used internally. Typical sections are 100x100, 150x150, 200x100 or 200x150 SHS, depending on the wall width. The use of pre-fabricated components reduces site activity for frame construction by up to 75%, thereby substantially contributing to overall construction safety. The TER is expressed as the mass of CO2 emitted in kilograms per square meter of floor area per year. Where the decking is propped during construction, longer spans can be achieved but the span: depth ratio of the slab is limited to about 28 so that the serviceability performance of the floor is acceptable. A design study of a 5-storey residential building constructed over a ground floor retail or commercial space and with below ground car parking is illustrated. In steel-framed residential buildings, light steel infill walls are used to provide resistance to wind action on the façade and also to achieve the required thermal performance characteristics. One technique is to use Square Hollow Sections (SHS) as columns that can be designed to fit within the width of light steel separating walls in the upper residential levels. Trimmers are required around stairs in order to support the floor. It serves as a Model Code for adoption by all agencies involved in building construction works […] The zinc coating provides passive protection. Speed of construction in urban residential projects is important to minimise disturbance to adjoining properties. With light steel framing construction, a service zone is provided under the ceiling so that the fire protection function of the plasterboard is not affected by the horizontal ducts. A structural grid that is compatible with the uses on the different floor levels, particularly due to the, Access to the upper levels that is independent to the lower public levels. The nature of urban projects is also that the urban street scape has to be part of the architectural concept. Curved façade using insulated render attached to light steel framing(Image courtesy of Metsec Framing Ltd.), Mixed use of metallic and tiled cladding in a residential building, Insulated render attached to light steel infill walls. The construction cycle for student residential buildings is often only 12 to 14 months, i.e. This simple detail provides a straightforward and cost-effective disproportionate collapse detail and is also used to resist torsion in the final condition. Modular construction may also be used for town houses and residential buildings of all types. In infill walls, the light steel components, which are also galvanised, are weather protected by the cladding system and by the external insulation. USFBs can economically span up to 10m with structural depths that compare very favourably with R.C. Kloeckner Metals UK Westok’s USFB system comprises a shallow and asymmetric Westok cellular beam with reinforcement placed through the cells to anchor the slab to the beam. A variety of steel construction technologies can be used in this sector, but the most rapid technique is achieved by modular construction, which is up to 40% faster than traditional site-intensive construction methods. Given the popularity of high-rise apartment complexes in urban areas, many construction firms turn to modular or prefab building design to cut costs. Related storyKengo Kuma unveils plans for curved apartment tower in Vancouver. A steel transfer structure can be designed efficiently, and can be part of the architectural concept. The braced steel structure also provides the access and circulation space and provides stability to the upper levels. Its primary function is to reduce impact sound transmission. Solmar has been building safe and healthy communities for over 30 years. The thermal performance of residential buildings depends on the strategies necessary to achieve the Target Emissions Rate (TER) and the Target Fabric Energy Efficiency (TFEE) set under Part L1A[2] of the Building Regulations. For 2 to 4 storey hotels, modular systems have been popular, especially where standard room specifications can be manufactured off-site and can achieve economy of scale in production. Modules are typically 2.7 to 4m wide and 6 to 12m long, and are designed to be load-bearing, either through their side walls or through corner posts and edge beams. Brick wall attached to light steel framing, Insulated render attached to light steel framing. General guidance for residential buildings is presented below: Further guidance is available in SCI P354. Safe means of escape in the event of a fire, involving alternative escape routes and fire protected lobbies, etc. A number of shallow floor solutions are available, including Ultra Shallow Floor Beams (USFB) from Kloeckner Metals UK Westok. In steel-framed residential buildings, web openings in beams provide space for ducts to extract stale and moist air from internal bathrooms and kitchens. In this project in Deansgate, Manchester 16 residential floors of steel and glass are supported on inclined tubular steel columns above a public concourse and commercial space. For car parking below podium level, columns should align with multiples of car park spaces, i.e. 16mm dia. A 5-storey podium would front on to Talara Drive and wrap the east and west sides of the building, with the tower set back 4.3 metres from the north face of the podium. Transverse spacing of 4.5m, 7.5m and 4.5m across the building to allow for a central access aisle and turning arc into the car parking spaces. Often UC sections are used as the supporting beams to minimise the overall floor depth. Compatibility of column grid with the super-structure, Retaining walls around the perimeter of the car park area, Vehicular access via a ramp from street level, Longitudinal spacing of 5 to 5.4m for 2 car parking spaces, or 7.5 to 8m for 3 car parking spaces between the columns. Please enter your User Name and Password. A horizontal service zone is created, or the steel beams can be perforated by web openings (usually in the form of fabricated or cellular beams) which allows ducts to be distributed throughout the building. There are various generic forms of balcony systems: All balcony systems are made from steel usually in the form of C sections. This bulby, 42-story high-rise with a wavy podium is designed by ZGF Architects and developed by Bosa. The building of blocks of five or more stories accounted for just 9% of local authority building between 1953 and 1959 but increased in the early 1960s to reach a peak of 26% in 1966. Commitment, Quality, Sustainability & Innovation Al Abbar is the largest architectural building enveloping and glazing contractors in the Middle East, Committed to deliver high quality products & services that meet international standards Seven World Trade Center was the first building completed in the WTC complex in 2006.
