HIGH RISE BUILDINGS
The towering high-rise structures known as skyscrapers are unquestionably one of the breathtaking highlights of cities like Toronto, New York, Dubai, Hong Kong, and others. Although the optimal use of land in a world with a booming population is a fairly practical goal served by tall buildings, we nonetheless somehow equate the towering structures with elegance, advancement, and most significantly, strength. One major factor is that lofty structures historically belonged to powerful kings and dignitaries. The number of these big structures, particularly skyscrapers, typically indicates how urbanized a nation is.
High-rise building standards
Although India may not be at the top of the list, encouraging advancements have given the skyscraper era a boost here as well. The real estate industry is now more transparent and accountable thanks to the regulations like RERA and GST, which have also fundamentally altered the taxation, regulatory, and financial environment.
Every country creates its own laws and regulations. High-rise building projects are still being carried out in India in accordance with various national standards and legal requirements. In India, a new code called IS 16700-2017, titled “Criteria for Structural Safety of Tall Concrete Buildings,” was recently adopted with a focus on tall buildings.
In India, the term “high-rise” refers to buildings that have a height of 75 feet or 7-10 floors, and are a viable product of the modern era.
A building must have two elevators if it is more than four floors tall, and structures above seven stories must have a fire suppression system. They also need earthquake-resistant construction in case of an earthquake or if the underlying soil samples have geotechnical issues such as high compressibility.
