The Digg Effect

High rises can be seen everywhere these days however, a crucial link to the popularity of these has been the elevator in such buildings because these buildings cannot do without elevators which are necessary in high-rise structures. Though the Oxford Dictionary defines a high-rise as “a building having many stories” but the engineers and architects refer a high-rise as a building with at least 75 feet of height. High rise buildings pose design challenges for structural and geotechnical engineers and extra attention needs to be paid when designing a highrise for residential purposes. Reinforced concrete and steel are used for the structural system of such high-rise buildings.
