Structural forms suitable for buildings in HK2. Load bearing wall (shear wall) structure in RC- More complicated formwork is required- cost of construction may increase especially forbuilding with more internal walls or in complicatedshape- the load bearing walls can strengthen the rigidity of thebuilding and able to resist building against deflection- building examples: public buildings such as theHarmony BlocksExample of load-bearingwall structures4
Structural forms suitable for buildings in HK3. Load bearing wall plus core wall structure- Complicated formwork is often required especially informing the core- cost of construction is higher, especially for buildingswith complicated shape (e.g. lots of set-back or lightwells- has very strong rigidity to resist deflection- this is the most common structural form for use in HK’sresidential buildings due to:. walls between residential flats can be best used as aload bearing wall (fire resistance is one reason). To fulfill building regulation for prescribed windowareas. To satisfy the rigidity of high-rise buildingsExample of load-bearingwall structures with buildingarea below 500 sq m5
