A highrise building is a building that is more than 75 feet from the point of Fire Department access on the ground to the floor of the highest occupied floor of the building. Correct.

Are the standards for a high rise building for affordable housing, sponsored by the government, are the standards of construction the same as they would be if we were to build a highrise luxury b
The floor above . Because the slabs on grade is a conventional slap, it is not post tension. One of the things the building designers do is to make the floor as thin as they reasonably can. There are several benefits to that. First of all, it reduces the mass of the building. We have 7. 5 inch slab. Conventional slab would probably be 10. 5 inches, which is about 25 more concrete mass. It also reduces the overall floor to floor height, which helps with the architectural facade and the square footage. One of the things people are always looking at is decreasing the floor to floor height, especially in San Francisco where we have clearly defined height limits, and maybe could squeeze another story and there if you are good at it. We see a lot of people struggling with the thickness of all these assemblies, both the Structural Assembly and non structural which might be above the ceiling, where we have the heating, ventilation, plumbing, fire sprinklers.

The stage. applause i cant think of a more deserving woman. Thank you. Come on in. Jeffery, i love you. I love you, too. Hello, neighbors. Good evening. You know, first i have to say that i heart the portola, i really do. [laughter] this is an amazing win frankly for the whole southeast sector, from Progress Park down, and its a wonderful night. Great to be here with all of you. My name is jeffery betcher. I am the executive director of the organization that emerged 10 years ago from Annette Young smith and carl pages work on the block where i live. Annette lived across the street from me and started planting flowers here or there around the block. And that changed everything mysteriously. And we figured out over time what it was that really created the change, and it wasnt the garden. It wasnt the plants. It was that annette was unafraid to cross the street and give a hug to someone she didnt know, who was radically different from her, and she started to build a personal relationships
Welcome to the department of Building Inspections Brown Bag Lunch series. We are very pleased to have a look at the stuff were always talking about which is how things get built. We are here in the middle of a construction site in San Francisco, mercy housing, being built between night and 10th, between market and mission streets. We have all of the people who are part of the project, including the contractors, the design engineers, soil engineers, structural folks. I think we should start by asking the question, what is a highrise building . What what makes this different from any other building . We have the architect for this project.
