Effect of rooftop rainwater harvesting storage orientation on the stability of a high rise building

Effect of rooftop rainwater harvesting storage orientation on the stability of a high rise building / Cheong Moon Fu
Skop kajian ini adalah tertumpu kepada kesan daripada lokasi tangki simpanan air hujan ke atas kestabilan bangunan tinggi. Satu bangunan tinggi sedia ada di kawasan bandar telah dipilih. Bangunan tinggi tersebut adalah 77.0 m tinggi dan 59.35 m panjang dan 22.75 m lebar. Beban angin yang dikenakan pada bangunan tinggi tersebut dikira dengan merujuk kepada MS 1553:2002. Supply Side Approach telah digunakan untuk menentukan saiz tangki simpanan air hujan. Bangunan tinggi tersebut dimodelkan dan dianalisiskan dengan menggunakan perisian komputer – EsteemPlus 6.2. Daripada projek ini, didapati pesongan maksimum untuk sebuah bangunan tinggi akan berubah dengan orientasi perletakan tangki simpanan air hujan. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa impak perletakan tangki simpanan air hujan dapat dikurangkan jika ia diletakkan berhampiran dengan pusat tengah bangunan tersebut. Walau bagaimanapun, analisis perlu dilakukan ke atas sesuatu bangunan sebelum tangki simpanan air hujan dipasang. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ The scope of this study is focussed on the effect of different rooftop rainwater harvesting storage orientations on the structural stability of a high rise building. An existing high rise building in urban area is selected. The high rise building is 77.0 m in height and 59.35 m x 22.75 m in plan. The wind load on the high rise building is calculated by referring to MS 1553:2002. Supply Side Approach is used to size the storage tanks. The high rise building is modelled and analysed by computer software – EsteemPlus 6.2. From this project, it is found that the deflection of the high rise building varies with the orientation of the RRWH storage tank installation. The results also show that rainwater harvesting storage tank installation in high rise building is likely to reduce the impact of wind action if the storage tank is placed near to the centre of the building. However, it is essential to analyse the behaviour of a building before installing any rainwater harvesting storage tank.
