zontal solid plate floors. Here cross bracing to the end walls acting with the horizontal<br />

plates of the many solid floors may well provide adequate bracing against wind forces. To<br />

provide fire protection to means of escape, service and access cores to multi-storey buildings,<br />

it is common to construct a solid cast in situ reinforced concrete core to contain lifts<br />

and escape stairs. A reinforced concrete core by its construction and foundation will act as<br />

a very stiff vertical cantilever capable of taking wind forces. To provide wind bracing to a<br />

point block, multi-storey structural steel frame with a central reinforced concrete access
