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

Floating Airport
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 the 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 theory, issues and problems of land-based airports could be minimized by locating airports
several miles off the coast. Takeoffs and landings would be over water, not over populated areas,
thereby eliminating noise pollution and reducing risks of aircraft crashes to the land-locked population.
A floating structure, such as a floating airport, is theorized to have less impact on the
environment than the land-based alternative. It would not require much, if any, dredging or moving of
mountains or clearing of green space and the floating structure provides a reef-like environment
conducive to marine life. In theory, wave energy could be harnessed, using the structure to convert
waves into energy to help sustain the energy needs of the airport.
If you travel to Japan in the near future you may witness a solution to these problems, in the form
of floating airports. At present there are four such constructions in Japan (there are also examples in
Hong Kong and Macau), each built on its own artificial island offshore and each backed by the
community it serves. The first of these incredible engineering wonders to be built, and the first of its kind
in the world, was Kansai International Airport in Osaka Bay. Just to build the 4-kilometre long island
called for 21 million cubic meters of landfill plus the assistance of 80 ships, then there was the small
matter of connecting the airport to the mainland by way of a 3-kilometre bridge. In total the project has
so far cost around $20 billion but has already saved some expense by surviving both an earthquake and
a typhoon in the last 15 years, in addition to being open 24 hours a day due to its location.
Here are Japan's four floating airports:
Kansai
International Airport
New Kitakyushu Airport
10
Chubu Centrair International Airport
Kobe Airport
So, what does the future hold for the location of airports?
For those airports situated near the coast it makes a lot of sense to follow the examples in Japan
for a number of reasons, most importantly environmental impact and space consumption.
Rotating Floating Airport : Netherlands
One of the most intriguing airport is the Rotating Floating Airport invented by Van Den Noort
Innovations BV in the Netherlands. For a much more cost effective and efficiently operating airport, Van
den Noort Innovations BV in collaboration with Royal Haskoning Technical Engineering and the
Technical University in Delft/Holland have developed the 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 the bottom of the sea. It is the ultimate solution to meet cost and
environmental conditions. The central terminal has connection with the mainland through a tunnel tube
line. The airport just needs two parallel runways rotating into the wind direction. Hence, the total surface
of such an airport demands minimum acreage. In essence the entire structure would resemble a
gigantic propeller lodged in the 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 with all required
facilities along with a subway station
connected to the mainland through a 2line 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 the central terminal must be constructed on the bottom of the sea, with floating parts prefab
made
· The RFA concept is a substantially lower cost concept

How to Make Buildings Safer in Tsunamis
What do we mean by a Tsunami?
A tsunami is the 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 the ocean or other body of water, such as earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, meteorites or landslips. Eventually a wave can become a moving vertical wall of water, whose height
depends on the geometry of the shore, and the characteristics of the Tsunami. If the ground slopes upwards away
from the waterline, the power of the tsunami will be reduced. If the ground is low lying and level, like a lagoon,
the wave can continue at its full strength for a long way, up to 5 kilometers or so. If the shore line is a bank, and
then slopes down after the bank, the water will speed up and gain destructive energy.
Why do buildings fail in Tsunamis?
When a building stands in the path of the wave, the wall facing it tends to block the water, and the
pressure here increases. It can overload walls, windows, doors, columns or bracing systems, or push buildings
completely over. Later on the water will swirl out again, loading the other side of the building. Water just 7 feet
deep will have pressure of 450 pounds per sq ft, 21 kN per square meter, much more than any normal structure
can withstand. If there is an opening in the side hit by the wave, the high pressure can find its way into a building.
Here it will push through partitions, and far wall. Deeper the water, greater the pressure. There is a twist in the
wave attack. As the water tries to escape from the dam, it rushes around the edges of the building, creating a series
of small vortexes (or vortices). These are small ice-cream cone shaped spirals of water, which have intense
suction at the tip. They tear away at the walls around every discontinuity. The debris from damaged buildings
become weapons which attack other buildings, and are dangerous hazards to any one in the water. Hits from
floating bits of building are a major cause of death and injury. As the water races around buildings it can erode the
soil, particularly if it is loose sand, and the buildings can fall into the holes. It is a feature of many beaches that
there is sandy soil.
How can we make buildings resist Tsunamis?
As rough ground reduces the effects of the wave, it is not a good idea to cut down all the vegetation and
produce a smooth 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 the
shore line at the top of a smooth shallow beach. It is unlikely that the walls and frames could generally be
designed to resist the water pressures in a breaking wave. If buildings have to be built, then it is better to make
them higher, so that water can flow under them. They would then have suspended floors. If the suspended floors
are concrete with suitable framing, their weight and integrity can combat some of the force of the wave.
Even if the building is above ground level, it will still be vulnerable to a bigger wave. It is possible to
design the walls so that they can fail at ground-to-first floor level, but the frames must be strong enough to
support the floors above without help from the walls. It helps if the building is not square on to the wave front. If
diagonal, the wave hits the pointed corner first and is diverted around the sides. Pressure is much reduced.
Buildings should not be close together in a way that makes a wider dam. If roads have buildings all along both
sides, the water is funnelled along the roadway, accumulating debris as it goes, and with no reduction in height or
destructive force. It is much better if gaps are left between buildings out through which the water can dissipate.
All the structural members have to be strongly fixed to the frame and then to the foundations, to prevent them
floating off, and becoming missiles. If the soil is sandy, then the footings should be deep and bracing should go
right down to the feet. Light soil will also be protected from erosion by tarmac or concrete surfacing, which
should go right underneath the floor if it is raised.
Architects and engineers can design buildings that will stand tall during even the most violent
earthquakes. Tragically, no building is tsunami-proof, but some buildings will resist forceful waves, giving
residents time to flee. Shrewd engineering combined with a swift, efficient warning system can save thousands
of lives. Engineers and other experts suggest these strategies for tsunami-resistant construction:
u
As much as possible, leave vegetation and reefs intact. They won't stop tsunami waves, but they can slow
them down.
u
Orient the building at an angle to the shoreline. Walls that directly face the ocean will suffer more damage.
u
Construct deep foundations, braced at the footings.
u
Use heavy concrete construction for the lower floors.
u
Elevate the lower floors on legs. Rising water will do less damage if it can flow underneath the structure.
u
Use continuous steel framing strong enough to resist hurricane-force winds.
