2. Tower buildings
Introduction:
1. Tower buildings are tall buildings with
many floors.
2. Tower buildings have been a fascination
for people; for engineer it is a challenge
to build structure that rises hundred of
feet above the ground.
3.The great pyramid of Giza built at 25600
BC stood at 146.5 meters and was
Tallest man-made structure in the world
for ever 3,800 years
4.Burj Khalifa at an astonishing height of
829.8m in Dubai is the current tallest man

3. Early tower buildings:
 An early
development in this
area was Oriel
Chambers in Liverpool
in 1864, the building
was the world's first
iron-frame office
building and It was
only 5 floors high.
 Further
developments the
world's first tower
building is ten-story
Home Insurance
Building in Chicago,
built in
1884–1885.

4. Modern tower buildings:
 Modern tower buildings are
built with steel and
reinforced concrete
frameworks and curtain wall
of glass or polished stone.
 They use mechanical
equipment such as water
pumps an elevators .
 Now a days prefabricated
structure
are used to construct the
tower buildings
and towers.

5. In the late 19th century, the first tower
building would have been typically an office
building of more than 10 storey’s. The
concept was undoubtedly originated in the
USA, in Chicago and in New York, where
space was limited and where the best option
was to increase the height of the buildings.
The Home Insurance Building in Chicago
was perhaps the first tower building in the
world. Built in 1884-1885 its height was 42
m/10 storeys

7.  In future, tower buildings may rectify all their
disadvantages like safety less,high cost etc..,
 In future the buildings are very high in range.
 It can be used for both residential and commercial
purposes.
 The future tower buildings use all natural
resources as their energy .

11. Advantages:
 Multipurpose
 Space
 Views & Symbolism
 Broadcasting

12.  Safety less
 Cost of construction
 Environmental Impact
 Psychological Impact
Disadvantages:

13.  Effective Growth on Environmental
Defence & Also improving Green
Revolution Of An Each and every
country...
 But simultaneously increasing the
awareness of environmental impacts of
Urban cities improvement
 But as like in all series the tower buildings
have both bane and the boon.
