Tall buildings are found in well developed urban areas, where civic infrastructure is in place that includes water supply to buildings. This water that is sent to buildings comes from treatment plants that ensure the water is clean and safe for drinking (potable). Once treated, the water is then pressurized in pipes that carry this water to the building. In most cities, the pressure level in these pipes provided by the city is somewhere around 50 pounds per square inch (psi).

When a tall building is constructed, this means many toilets, sinks, showers, and other plumbing fixtures are very high in the air. Once the pipes that carry water turn from horizontal to vertical to carry the water to upper floors, they must overcome the force of gravity. The force on the ground of 50 psi can only elevate the water inside the pipe up to a height of about the 5th floor of the building - while still having enough pressure left to run the fixture. Thus, floors higher than this must get pressurized water some other way than merely relying on the pressure in the pipes from the city water supply.

There are many ways to achieve this. One way is to add pumps on the ground level that boost the water even higher. The problem with doing this (and only this) is that if several people on several floors all use plumbing fixtures at once, there will not be enough water pressure. To prevent this from happening, storage tanks are placed high up in the air and these tanks are filled with water throughout the day (even when no fixtures are used). From the storage tank, pipes carry water downward, with the force of gravity, to the fixture. By having this stored water high in the air, many people can use plumbing fixtures all at once, and there is plenty of pressure from the water overhead to meet this demand.

The Duomo of Florence was started in the 13th century.

The most common instrument (tool) is a tape measure.

A flat roof is a maintenance nightmare year after year. So many people have made that mistake only to later put a pitched roof over the flat roof to avoid any more hassle.

A tape measure or measuring tape is a flexible form of ruler. It consists of a ribbon of cloth, plastic, or metal with linear-measure markings, often in both imperial and metric units. Surveyors use tape measures in lengths on the order of hectometres.

Height was certainly a limiting factor because of the limited use of steel and glass.

A cubit equates to 18 inches.

No, but modern monitoring system would allow all occupants to be observed from a single location without being aware of being observed.

The cross in a Catholic Church is usually a crucifix, whereas the cross in a Protestant church is just a plain cross.

Fitting of bathroom is the process of setting all kinds of water points like shower, basin and other water points for controlling the flow and temperature of water.

In architecture, a colonnade is a long sequence of columns joined by their together. Colonnades are often free-standing, or part of a building.

A pentagon is a polygon -having five angles and five sides. 'Pente-' originates from Greek meaning five and -gon originates from the Greek word '-gonos' means angle.

An Embedded Architecture is a board that is implemented as the embedded system when programmed an embedded architecture is also a target board on which a uProcessor is plugged

The Roman Empire.

PING does not originally stand for anything, as a ping is named after the SONAR term for ping. However, some people now refer to PING as Packet InterNet Groper.

WT Kaboom ahhahahhaha! dont know the answer

I do not understand the question. You can buy parts that are 8 bits by 512 which is 512 bytes. Static RAM by it's nature is fairly self contained with little in additional circuits since it does not require refresh.

Circles appear in isometric drawings as an elipse.

for the same reason anything floats. they are less dense then water

Giovanni Battista (also Giambattista) Piranesi (4 October 1720 - 9 November 1778 )

I'm not sure I understand your question clearly, however, if you need one source of circulation of air it would be a PLANT.

Because plants take in Co2 and give out Oxygen.

Humans vise versa (if I spelt that right)

According to a highly regarded design magazine, the top three architecture schools in the united states are as follows: Harvard, Columbia and Yale universities.

To provide interior-space flexibility for single familes or to be replicated again and again to form apartment units.
