What are the various Types of Electrical Works carried out in a High Rise Building?
Komal Bhandakkar
Dear students, Definition : High rise building is that type of building which is taller than 15m height which people can willing to walk up and it also requires mechanically operated vertical Transportation systems.

Dear students,
Definition :
High rise building is that type of building which is taller than 15m height which people can willing to walk up and it also requires mechanically operated vertical Transportation systems.
No. of Floors in high rise building= greater than four (i.e. G + 3 Floors)
Electrical system :
The electrical system provided in high rise building depends on the utility of that building.
High Voltage wire is required for commercial building and it is considered hazardous.
The machine has its own fuse, there will be wire ways included in the floor slab.
Various types of electrical works carried out in high rise building:
integrated building management system(IBMS)
- Can monitor and control fire.
- It has a security module for access control
- Elevator control

When the base of the object is inaccessible we use an indirect method of surveying.
A tachometer is used to measure the distance between the two points with the use of an analytical lens. There are two methods
D=(f/L)S + (f + d)
D=horizontal distance between tachometer and stadia rod.
f/L = multiplying constant
S= Staff Intercept
Elevation formula:
v = KSsin(2©)/2 + Ccos(2©)
© = Theta= Angle of elevation or depression.
K & C = Tachometric Constant
substance method and tangential method is also used to find the elevation between two points.

Hi Raghav,For making any structure there is need to understand the need of the user.
All things are planned accordingly to the need of user. There are various things which are taken into consideration before planning any structures are listed below as follows:
- Selection of suitable land for construction.
- Understanding the plot area and budget which owner can afford to make his home
- Understanding demands of owner may include his preferences, choices and his vision for his dream home. Then it is advised to visited a certified architect
- Then after making suitable plan from architect it’s advised to visit a structural engineer for execution of plan.
- A final submission plan form architect needs to be approved by the local authority like municipal corporations and municipal councils.
- It’s time to get an experienced contractor for ground level construction.

The concept of +ve and -ve reinforcement is come when we talk about beam or beam like other structure.
In beam, part where moment is sagging(generally, at near mid point)reinforcement provided in lower side that is called positive reinforcement. If moment is hogging(generally, at near support), then reinforcement provided at upper side of beam, it is called as negative reinforcement.
Thanks

Kuldeep Singh
Gunia is a way to check perpendicularly of walls or boundaries. Suppose you have two walls meeting perpendicularly, but you want to be precisely sure that the angle is 90º. So, what is generally done is, from the corner a point at a distance of 3m is marked on one wall and that at a distance of 4m oRead more
Gunia is a way to check perpendicularly of walls or boundaries. Suppose you have two walls meeting perpendicularly, but you want to be precisely sure that the angle is 90º. So, what is generally done is, from the corner a point at a distance of 3m is marked on one wall and that at a distance of 4m on the other. Now, according to the Pythagorean theorem, the distance measured between these two marked points has to be accurately 5m got the walls to be perpendicular. And that’s what we wanted to check.
See lessWhat are the methods used to calculate quantities for earthwork in hill roads?
Generally hill profiles are irregular. So, the most efficient method for hill road is the prismoidal method (Simpson method). It based on the assumption that profile is parabolic between two sections. For use of this method, it is necessary that profile should be divided into odd number of section.Read more

For use of this method, it is necessary that profile should be divided into odd number of section. If the profile is divided in even number of section than apply prismoidal method till the second last section and apply the trapezoidal method in last section.

This is a vey good question.
Inspection is missing in our country to large extent.
In the past, In India I have come across boiler inspectors come inspect boiler installations on a power plant.
In real estate government authorities perform inspections before issuing Completion Certificate or Occupancy Certificate.
In Middle East it is mandatory for every project the obtain clearance certificates Civil Defence before project facilties are put to use. Most importantly Civil defence inspects the facilities for working of fire protections systems.
Hope this helps
