designed this project. . SHEET NO.-
• The most unique design in this project is
sky-walk,which provides splendid
public space.
• The concept of this design is “mini city”.

“A CITY WITHIN A CITY” The use of diagonal CASE STUDY

from earthquake and also make the facades

unique

APARTMENTS PLAN
The ground level offers a
number of open passages
for all people.
These passages include SUBMITTED

ELEVATION STRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING: DIAGONAL BRACING SUBMITTED

BY:
Due to its complex form, Linked hybrid TANYA KUKREJA
have very complicated force transfer HARSHIT GUPTA
system. In order to solve the problem of
DHANANJAI
force transformation in building’s high rise
part, the design of structure adopted the SWARUP
space trusses transform system, installing R.SARVANA
diagonal bracing in appropriate structural VINAYAK
section.
STRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING:
Tower: 2 systems to resist lateral load
1.Core of concrete shear walls &
crossed shear walls.
The rectangular tube can be viewed as
4 shear walls. They can increase the
stiffness of the structure obviously.
Thus, it stabilizes the building mainly
with regard to horizontal forces like
wind and earthquake.
2. perimeter concrete moment frame
In the area of the openings, special
reinforcement is required. Normal high
risebuildings can be fully stabilized by
the reinforced concrete core.
For higher ones, one makes also use of
the façade.
In this case, the perimeter concrete
moment frame(TALL CONCRETE
BUILDINGS WITH SHEAR WALL CORE
AND FLATSLAB SYSTEM) is the second
way to resist lateral load.
SKY BRIDGES
In order to span the great distance
required and also to achievethe utmost
transparency, the bridges utilize a pair
of parallel steel trusses.
FRICTION PENDULUM BEARING
Linked Hibrid use friction pendulum
bearings between aerial bridge and
main building, in order to decrease the
torsion effect and mass eccentric
caused by aerial bridge during an
earthquake.
STRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING: ARCHITECTURAL
FRICTION PENDULUM BEARING DESIGN IV
(AP-401)
The bridges are light and glass enclosed.
In order to protect them from the SHEET NO.-
effects of significant tower movement

under an extreme seismic event, it was
decided to isolate both sides of the
bridges.
The system selected was a "friction CASE STUDY
pendulum isolator" which is provided by
-LINKED HYBRID
Earthquake Protection Systems of
California.
The isolators are shaped with a radius to achieve a described
period oF vibration that will minimize the shear transfer by
reducing the resonance. In an earthquake,the bridges will move up
to 40cm relative to the buildings, sparing them, and the
buildings,of the effects of lateral forces.
SOILS AND FOUNDATION
The foundation maintains two parts of
basement. One part is basements of tall
buildings, and another part is a pure SUBMITTED
basement for parking in middle of base. TO:
raft foundation is used, which is made of AR. PRASOON
reinforced concrete, to build the GUPTA
basement. AR.SUPRIYA
There are three different foundations in SINHA
this design.
• Natural foundation is used for podium
part; SUBMITTED
• The pure basement uses natural BY:
foundation with firming by anti- TANYA KUKREJA
floating piles;
HARSHIT GUPTA
• Composite foundation with CFG piles is DHANANJAI
used for basements of tall buildings.
SWARUP
since this design useground source heat pump equipment system R.SARVANA
to keep buildings temperature stable, there are 600 tube wells at VINAYAK
bottom of basement which can reduce the bearing capacity of
natural foundation.
