Definition Of Core
The central of arterial part of a multistory building that integrates functions and service needs for established occupants. Such areas are normally composed of toilet facilities, elevator banks, janitors closet, utilities, mechanical facilities, smoke shafts and stair. Core also known as facade envelope is a spatial element for load-bearing high-rise building system.
Characteristic
Shape of core Number of cores Location of cores Arrangement of cores Geometry of building as generator of core form
Function
Tying the building together to act as a unit To maximize flexibility in layout As shear wall systems to provide the necessary lateral stability for the building Resist lateral forces from any direction Carries gravity loads
Elements
Electrical & Telephone Piping and risers Transportation Fans room Toilets
PLACEMENT
Disadvantages
Present some problems of access Less flexibility of tenant distribution Remote and thus less convenient to the far sides and corners of the building
CENTRAL CORE
Central
Advantages
Allows all window all window space to be utilized as rental of the building plan will permit offices of verging depths to receive natural light Extremely convenient of access and in some cases may be equidistant for all side Simplifies area division & provides good flexibility of tenant distribution in the some way Horizontal utility runs may also relatively equidistant from the core Combine with a square building plan, bearing exterior & core walls, this location permits a floor plan tree of columns and thus totally flexible for office layout Disadvantages The central interior location limits the depth of offices in the midzone of each floor It requires an access corridor around its perimeter
MATERIAL
Reinforced concrete
large net tension forces exist can negate the inherent efficiency of concrete in compression resistance Walls become thick
Concrete Fire-resistance, in particular of lift and piping shafts, is good Execution is efficient Lateral forces can be transmitted employing the surrounding skeleton sufficient stiffness Steel Large and costly achieve its lateral stability. necessary core stiffness relatively rapid assemblage of the prefabricated members. Enclose space, no extra consideration need to be given to fire proofing. Lack of ductility Respect to earth quake loading
