Tower H:
core 2:
inputs:
‐ Travel Height = 62.7 m. from 3rd basement to 14th floor.
‐ Population “from layouts” = 96 persons.
‐ Occupancy 40% ‐60% leave in the morning, thus 3% →6% per five minutes. as
per attached code.
‐ Waiting time: excellent ≤35sec. good ≤40 sec. moderate ≤45 sec.
‐ Two elevators of layouts :
Elevator 1: (2.15m. x 2.2m.) dimensions with 10 persons capacity.
Elevator2 :(2.7 m. x 2.15m.) Dimensions with 12 persons capacity.
‐ Normal speed = 2.5m/sec. as per attached TOSHIBA code.
Calculations:
Required capacity = population x occupancy x peak demand.
= 108 x (40% →60%) x (3% → 6%)
= 2 → 4 persons per 5 min.
Travel time (ascending & descending) = 2 x + exit & entry time.
= 25.8 +25.8 +25.8
= 75.24 sec.
Number of travels per 5 min. = = 8 travels.
.
.
Waiting time = = = 37.62 sec. < 40 sec. which is good
Elevator capacity at layouts: “per five minutes”
(8x 10) + (12x8) = 176 persons per 5 min. as per code 2→4 per 5min.

Tower type H:
core 1:
inputs:
‐ Travel Height = 49.1 m. from 3rd basement to 10th floor.
‐ Population “from layouts” = 108 persons.
‐ Occupancy 40% ‐60% leave in the morning, thus 3% →6% per five minutes. as
per attached code.
‐ Waiting time: excellent ≤35sec. good ≤40 sec. moderate ≤45 sec.
‐ Two elevators of layouts:
Elevator 1: dimensions (2.15m. x 2.2m.)10 persons capacity.
Elevator2: dimensions (2.7 m. x 2.15m.) 12 persons capacity.
‐ Normal speed = 2m/sec. as per attached TOSHIBA code.
Calculations:
Required capacity = population x occupancy x peak demand.
= 108 x (40% →60%) x (3% → 6%)
= 2 → 4 persons per 5 min.
Travel time (ascending & descending) = 2 x + exit & entry time.
= 2 x 24.55 +24.55
= 74 sec.
Number of travels per 5 min. = = 8 travels.
Elevator capacity at layouts: “core 1”
(8x 10) + (8x12) = 176 persons per 5 min. as per code 2→4 per 5min.

Tower type B:
inputs:
‐ Travel Height = 73.50 m. from 2nd basement to 18th floor.
‐ Population “from drawings layouts” = 196 persons.
‐ Occupancy 40% ‐60% leave in the morning, thus 3% →6% per five minutes. as
per attached code.
‐ Waiting time: excellent ≤35sec. good ≤40 sec. moderate ≤45 sec.
‐ Two elevators “layouts”
‐ Elevators car capacity:
Elevator 1: dimensions (2.15m. x 2.2m.) 10 persons capacity.
Elevator2: dimensions (2.7 m. x 2.15m.) 12 persons capacity.
‐ Nominal speed = 3m/sec. as per TOSHIBA attached code.
Calculations:
Required capacity = population x occupancy x peak demand.
= 196 x (40% →60%) x (3% → 6%)
=3→7 persons per 5 min.
Travel time (ascending & descending) = 2 x + exit & entry time.
= 2 x24.5+24.5
= 73.5 per sec.
Number of travels per 5 min. = = 8 travels

Waiting time = = = 36.75 sec. < 40 sec. which is good
Elevator capacity at layouts: “per five minutes”
(8x 10) + (12x8) = 176 persons per 5 min. as per code 3→7 persons per 5min.
