Tallest Buildings in e World What is e tallest building? Since e dawn of history man has been trying to build e 'tallest building', 'tallest tower' or 'tallest structure' in e world. There seems to be much prestige in being home to e worlds tallest. So much in fact at is is a major issue on e political agenda of many countries. Many towers claim e title, and many cities quarrel about who is e winner. During e first 90 years of is century, USA dominated e race for e title of tallest buildings in e world. They constructed a range of famous buildings at, sometimes only for a few mons, and sometimes for many years, were widely recognized as being e 'tallest building' in e world. In 1974 Chicago's Sears Tower was completed, and generally seen as e 'tallest building' in e world. Sears held on to at title for over 20 years. But since e ninetees USA got some stiff competition from Asia. In 1996 is resulted in e completion of e Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. From at moment on a sort of media clash was unleashed. All over e world people debated about e question which one was e tallest; Sears or Petronas. Now e answer to is question seems so easy. Just measure bo buildings from bottom to top, and e tallest one gets e title. Question answered, case closed, no more debate needed? Forget it! As usual, life is not at simple. One could consider how to measure ese buildings. For example, do we take in account spires and antennas? To end is discussion, e Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat made a compromise. They defined 4 categories for measuring tall buildings; 1. Height to Architectural Top (including spires and pinnacles, but not antennas, masts or flagpoles). This measurement is most widely used and is used to define e rankings of e 100 Tallest Buildings in e World. 2. Height to e highest occupied floor. 3. Height to e top of e roof. (omitted from criteria from November 2009 onwards) 4. Height to e top of antenna.

A Floating airport is an airport built and situated on a very large floating structure (VLFS) located many miles out at sea utilizing a flotation type of device or devices such as Pneumatic Stabilized Platform (PSP) technology. As e population increases and land becomes more expensive and scarce, very large floating structures (VLFS) such as floating airports could help solve land use, pollution and aircraft noise issues. In eory, issues and problems of land-based airports could be minimized by locating airports several miles off e coast. Takeoffs and landings would be over water, not over populated areas, ereby eliminating noise pollution and reducing risks of aircraft crashes to e land-locked population. A floating structure, such as a floating airport, is eorized to have less impact on e environment an e land-based alternative. It would not require much, if any, dredging or moving of mountains or clearing of green space and e floating structure provides a reef-like environment conducive to marine life. In eory, wave energy could be harnessed, using e structure to convert waves into energy to help sustain e energy needs of e airport. If you travel to Japan in e near future you may witness a solution to ese problems, in e form of floating airports. At present ere are four such constructions in Japan (ere are also examples in Hong Kong and Macau), each built on its own artificial island offshore and each backed by e community it serves. The first of ese incredible engineering wonders to be built, and e first of its kind in e world, was Kansai International Airport in Osaka Bay. Just to build e 4-kilometre long island called for 21 million cubic meters of landfill plus e assistance of 80 ships, en ere was e small matter of connecting e airport to e mainland by way of a 3-kilometre bridge. In total e project has so far cost around $20 billion but has already saved some expense by surviving bo an earquake and a typhoon in e last 15 years, in addition to being open 24 hours a day due to its location. Here are Japan's four floating airports: Floating Airport Kansai International Airport New Kitakyushu Airport 10
Chubu Centrair International Airport Kobe Airport So, what does e future hold for e location of airports? For ose airports situated near e coast it makes a lot of sense to follow e examples in Japan for a number of reasons, most importantly environmental impact and space consumption. Rotating Floating Airport : Neerlands One of e most intriguing airport is e Rotating Floating Airport invented by Van Den Noort Innovations BV in e Neerlands. For a much more cost effective and efficiently operating airport, Van den Noort Innovations BV in collaboration wi Royal Haskoning Technical Engineering and e Technical University in Delft/Holland have developed e Rotating Floating Airport concept. This concept consists of a purely afloat platform and runway system rotating 360 degrees along a "fixed" circular terminal solely constructed on e bottom of e sea. It is e ultimate solution to meet cost and environmental conditions. The central terminal has connection wi e mainland rough a tunnel tube line. The airport just needs two parallel runways rotating into e wind direction. Hence, e total surface of such an airport demands minimum acreage. In essence e entire structure would resemble a gigantic propeller lodged in e ground, air traffic landing and taking-off on its blades. In addition, its 'central' construction concept enhances minimal environmental implications. Its off coast location also facilitates night traffic. RFA Transport System: The fixed terminal is constructed in different levels to accommodate a departure and arrival hall wi all required facilities along wi a subway station connected to e mainland rough a 2- line tube. All decks have vertical connections by elevators, escalators and up- and down walkways. Courtesy: http://www.noort-innovations.nl/rfaindex.htm Features A minimum required surface due to rotating platform and runway system Wind conditions are in fact irrelevant Airplanes can land and take off in any direction No restrictions to night flights Environmental impact is significantly smaller Only e central terminal must be constructed on e bottom of e sea, wi floating parts prefab made The RFA concept is a substantially lower cost concept 11

How to Make Buildings Safer in Tsunamis What do we mean by a Tsunami? A tsunami is e Japanese word for 'harbor-wave' and it means a big wave or a series of big waves. They can be caused by any big disturbance in e ocean or oer body of water, such as earquakes, volcanic eruptions, meteorites or landslips. Eventually a wave can become a moving vertical wall of water, whose height depends on e geometry of e shore, and e characteristics of e Tsunami. If e ground slopes upwards away from e waterline, e power of e tsunami will be reduced. If e ground is low lying and level, like a lagoon, e wave can continue at its full streng for a long way, up to 5 kilometers or so. If e shore line is a bank, and en slopes down after e bank, e water will speed up and gain destructive energy. Why do buildings fail in Tsunamis? When a building stands in e pa of e wave, e wall facing it tends to block e water, and e pressure here increases. It can overload walls, windows, doors, columns or bracing systems, or push buildings completely over. Later on e water will swirl out again, loading e oer side of e building. Water just 7 feet deep will have pressure of 450 pounds per sq ft, 21 kn per square meter, much more an any normal structure can wistand. If ere is an opening in e side hit by e wave, e high pressure can find its way into a building. Here it will push rough partitions, and far wall. Deeper e water, greater e pressure. There is a twist in e wave attack. As e water tries to escape from e dam, it rushes around e edges of e building, creating a series of small vortexes (or vortices). These are small ice-cream cone shaped spirals of water, which have intense suction at e tip. They tear away at e walls around every discontinuity. The debris from damaged buildings become weapons which attack oer buildings, and are dangerous hazards to any one in e water. Hits from floating bits of building are a major cause of dea and injury. As e water races around buildings it can erode e soil, particularly if it is loose sand, and e buildings can fall into e holes. It is a feature of many beaches at ere is sandy soil. How can we make buildings resist Tsunamis? As rough ground reduces e effects of e wave, it is not a good idea to cut down all e vegetation and produce a smoo unprotected beach. Mangrove swamps are particularly good at stopping Tsunamis. Reefs too should be left intact, and not destroyed for shipping channels. It is better not to build buildings at low level on e shore line at e top of a smoo shallow beach. It is unlikely at e walls and frames could generally be designed to resist e water pressures in a breaking wave. If buildings have to be built, en it is better to make em higher, so at water can flow under em. They would en have suspended floors. If e suspended floors are concrete wi suitable framing, eir weight and integrity can combat some of e force of e wave. Even if e building is above ground level, it will still be vulnerable to a bigger wave. It is possible to design e walls so at ey can fail at ground-to-first floor level, but e frames must be strong enough to support e floors above wiout help from e walls. It helps if e building is not square on to e wave front. If diagonal, e wave hits e pointed corner first and is diverted around e sides. Pressure is much reduced. Buildings should not be close togeer in a way at makes a wider dam. If roads have buildings all along bo sides, e water is funnelled along e roadway, accumulating debris as it goes, and wi no reduction in height or destructive force. It is much better if gaps are left between buildings out rough which e water can dissipate. All e structural members have to be strongly fixed to e frame and en to e foundations, to prevent em floating off, and becoming missiles. If e soil is sandy, en e footings should be deep and bracing should go right down to e feet. Light soil will also be protected from erosion by tarmac or concrete surfacing, which should go right undernea e floor if it is raised. Architects and engineers can design buildings at will stand tall during even e most violent earquakes. Tragically, no building is tsunami-proof, but some buildings will resist forceful waves, giving residents time to flee. Shrewd engineering combined wi a swift, efficient warning system can save ousands of lives. Engineers and oer experts suggest ese strategies for tsunami-resistant construction: As much as possible, leave vegetation and reefs intact. They won't stop tsunami waves, but ey can slow em down. Orient e building at an angle to e shoreline. Walls at directly face e ocean will suffer more damage. Construct deep foundations, braced at e footings. Use heavy concrete construction for e lower floors. Elevate e lower floors on legs. Rising water will do less damage if it can flow undernea e structure. Use continuous steel framing strong enough to resist hurricane-force winds. 14
