RADON ACTION LEVEL FOR HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS

Health Physics, 1999
Radon and its progeny are the major contributors to the natural radiation dose received by human beings. Many countries and radiological authorities have recommended radon action levels to limit the indoor radon concentrations and, hence, the annual doses to the general public.

Adaptable High-Rise Buildings

IABSE Reports, 2010
<p>This paper presents an innovative concept that allows a flexible use of high-rise buildings by incorporating adaptable structural components, thus contributing to a sustainable development by extending the building's service life. The focus lies on vertical adaptability which implies a structural conception for different floor heights and for ...

Monitoring of High‐Rise Buildings

Journal of Surveying Engineering, 1988
Tall buildings have mushroomed in Boston as they have elsewhere. Modern technology has made high‐rise construction efficient and architects more daring. The surveying engineer faces many adversities during the translation process from blueprint to construction site.

Design of FTS for High-Rise Buildings

Zhilishchnoe Stroitel'stvo, 2023
The problems arising in the design of facade translucent structures (FTS) for high-rise buildings are considered. The main problem in the design is the correct choice of source data for setting external and internal boundary conditions. An incorrect or erroneous choice of these parameters can have a significant impact on the calculation model and the ...

High Rise Buildings

2016
There are two categories of high rise buildings that will be discussed in this chapter. There are your regular high rise buildings, and then there are your super high rise buildings. From a fire protection standpoint, the regular high rise buildings are the ones where the fire department is not going to be able to fight the fire from the ground.
