Are a skyscraper's walls made of concrete?

No. The (exterior) walls are usually steel and glass (perhaps incorporating some aluminum), all of the weight of which is borne by the floors. The weight of the floors is borne by the vertical support columns, which are steel or reinforced concrete. They're tucked inside. The massive weight of the building is transferred into the support columns, and that compressive force is transferred in turn down into bedrock. Most of the tallest buildings have their load bearing columns "inside" away from the outer walls. That allows the outer wall of the building to be more fully developed for "the view" from higher elevations. It also protects the columns from damage due to the possible impact of an aircraft. That was part of the design consideration for the Empire State Building. And a good thing, too. The 102-story structure was struck by a B-25 flying in a thick fog on the morning of July 28th, 1945. That was Sunday. Much of the building was open for business the following day. In the case of the World Trade Center, the exterior of the buildings were steel load bearing walls. It was an extraordinary engineering concept! And the buildings were superb! But, in retrospect, it may have been an engineering error - a fatal idea.


How do you make The Chrysler Building for a school project?

Cut out panels of the four sides approx. 25 inches tall and then make copies of the building and paste to panels.


How can you calculate kg steel in m3 of concrete raft foundation of building of 2 story o are of 2000 m2 using steel rebar of 25 mm of lenght 12 m rods?

Calculate the length of steel you are going to use the building and muliply the length with unit weight of the steel.ex: 12 m 25mm steel weight is12 x 3.85 =46.2 kg3.85 kg/m is the unit weight of 25mm bar


What is an example of square array?

*SQUAREdefinition- A 4-sided regular polygon with all sides equal and all internal angles 90°example- A computer screen*SQUARE (SQUARE ROOT)definition- A divisor of a quantity that when squared gives the quantityexample- The square roots of 25 are 5 and −5 because 5 × 5 = 25 and (−5) × (−5) = 25.


What object in c plus plus?

An object is an instance of a class. A class is a user-defined data type from which we can instantiate objects of that class. We often use the terms object and variable interchangeably, however the term variable specifically refers to a named object (objects instantiated at compile time), as opposed to anonymous objects (instantiated at runtime). Built-in data types such as int, double and pointer types are not classes, thus instances of these types are simply known as variables. Built-in types are also part of the language (hence they are built-in) thus we don't need to include a header or a type definition in order to use them; they are immediately available. But to use an object we must first define its class or include the appropriate header that defines the class.

Why do citys build skyscrapers?

For the most part, they don't. Corporations do.The advantage of a skyscraper is that land costs money, but air is free.In other words, if I want a building with 250000 square meters of space, I could buy a 500x500 meter plot of land and build a 1 story building on it, or I could buy a 100x100 meter plot of land for about 1/25 the price and then put a 25 story building on top of it. I'll lose some of the savings in increased construction costs, but probably not all of it, particularly if the building is in the downtown of a major city where land is really expensive.


Can the 25 ft of a building line be removed from the property?
