1CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT: Steel FramesExecutive summary:The aim of this report was to analyze the construction of the High- Rise Infrastructure in thisproject. A web-survey was conducted to achieve the objectives. The results indicate theadvantages and techniques of a steel framework. This report goes through a detail analysis of theproject being put forward. The report concludes about the opportunities of composite buildings.It is recommended to take safety measures while on the construction process and a valid siteinvestigation.

3CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT: Steel FramesINTRODUCTION:A high-rise building refers to a tall building or a structure, ranging between 75 to 491 feetthat corresponds to 23 meter to 150 meter. The buildings taller than 492 feet are categoricallystated as the skyscrapers (Lee, Bae and Cho 2012). The materials generally in the requirementlist include reinforced concrete and steel. Almost majority of the American Skyscraperscomprises of a steel frame while on the contrary the residential building utilizes the concrete.The high-rises have distinct features leading to higher vertical and lateral loads majorly becauseof wind stress. The dominance relative to the presence of steel in the multi-storey buildings orcommercial sectors is deeply connected with the tangible client-related profits inclusive of thepotential to provide floor spans, circulation space, integrated building services and the majorfactor is the site and local access suitability regarding the construction procedures. In connectionwith the inner-city construction projects, pace of construction and the minimum material storageon the available site needs a standardized level of pre-fabrication, which only the steel framestructures would be able to provide. This report analyzes in details the various aspects involvedin the construction management of the high-rises involving the steel framework including thedesign and the structural briefing. DISCUSSION:1.Overview of the Structure:Location and type of Structure: the selection of a location for an organized constructionof housing or any relevant sector should be reflective of the necessities of the populationoriented for the service. A major consideration should be the location for the plan relative
4CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT: Steel Framesto the necessities for the residents such medical, schools, shopping or the transportationsystem. Location of a site for construction can deliver major impacts on the costinginvolved in the project. It is necessary to strike a balance between the satisfaction of theresidents and the selection of location for the project (Park et al. 2013). This reportpresents a high-rise construction involving a residential building in consideration.The project considers a composite building, which refers to a tall structure through theutilization of both the materials steel and concrete taking part compositely in the primestructural part of the construction. The primary infrastructural framework for a tall buildingcan be witnessed as a vertical cantilever beam with the base of the structure fixed to theground (Lu et al. 2013). The structure is responsible of the vertical gravity and the relevantloads, the lateral wind and the earthquake loads. The composite structures involve varioustype of foundations, mainly categorized into two major classifications namely, the shallowand deep foundation system. The project is oriented around the construction based on thedeep foundation, which extends several dozen feet into the ground and below the building,utilizing the piles foundation. The load in this case can get transferred by pile basically bytwo major methodologies namely, the end bearing piles that refers to the transmission of loadinto below firm soil layer present in the ground that is through rock, gravel and vivid soilstructure. Another is the friction piles, wherein, the load gets transmitted through the deeppenetrable soil from the structure through skin friction between the soil and embedded pilesurface. Project Details inclusive of Cost and Timeline: Time Scheduling for steel framed with Composite Floor: this aspect of theconstruction management is accessed through the Microsoft Project 2003, for sure, it is
5CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT: Steel Framesan efficient way to construct it. Some initiating activities include PCC (7days), Footingrequires 15 days and the pedestal foundation requires 7 days on an individual basis.While following the completion of column and beam erections regarding the first lift,which needs about 33 days. Other activities related to the construction of composite floorare simultaneously maintained with the construction of the second lift erection method.Similarly, the entire structure can be erected utilizing the same methodologies with somany various works faces open up all together. For the construction regarding compositefloor for all the various standards or levels, it requires 118 days as per the time scheduleis set up. This reveals that the building is expected to get completed in almost 180working days. Inclusive of the holidays following the generalized norms, tjis wouldrequire around 210 days approximately (Aziz and Hafez 2013). Following the steel framed and precast concrete floor construction infrastructurethat is a framework with precast slab configuration, approximately 10 workers arerequired for estimated 10 days for configuring the precast slab panels that includes theactivities of lifting, and the fixation of joint slabs within 14 working hours. The concreteflooring is completed with the utilization of concrete pump with the support from 8workers inclusive of pump operation within, approximately 2 days (Yi, Li and Gu 2013).Following the tensioning of steel beams are strategized in particularly the same way thesteel frame with the composite floor structure as is estimated in the previous section. Anadditional 143 days are necessary for the precast concrete flooring in this structure. Foreach slab there is a slab cycle of 32 days but following the interlinking of the includedactions for the construction from floor to floor and columns lift to lift, the total estimatedduration for the same sums up to 56 days.
