Abstract
Abstract: The growing population and limited land in urban areas are driving up demand for towering buildings on a daily basis. India and other emerging countries are seeing an increase in the use of tall buildings. Land becomes unavailable for further expansion in any city, particularly in major cities, beyond a certain point of horizontal development. Consequently, multi-story skyscrapers gained popularity as a means of optimising land use. The design principles used for low- and mediumrise structures are not applicable to high-rise skyscrapers. Tall structures demand the most advanced design techniques since they are intricate engineering tasks. Architects and engineers proposed/put forward the new idea of Podium sort constructions in order to meet the demands of both the growing population and the present bye-laws requiring a minimum parking space for such types of buildings. These days, tower-podium style structures are quite common since they provide for the best possible use of available space on the property and the financial leverage to meet the need for more commercial space. A portion of a structure known as a podium has lateral load resistance greater than that of a tower.
