The out-of-code high-rise building, as its name implies, is a building that exceeds the specified maximum limit. The height of these buildings may exceed the maximum applicable height in the building code, or they may belong to a particularly irregular type. This paper will introduce you to the relevant regulations and categories of high-rise buildings that are out of code.

Definition of out-of-code high-rise building

The out-of-code high-rise building refers to a building whose height exceeds the maximum applicable height in the building code, or belongs to a particularly irregular type. In addition, large-scale public building projects with a height greater than 24m and a roof structure exceeding the prescribed common forms are also considered as out-of-code high-rise building projects.

Relevant regulations and categories

The relevant regulations and categories of out-of-code high-rise buildings mainly include Code for Seismic Design of Buildings, Technical Specification for Concrete Structures of High-rise Buildings, Code for Design and Construction of Grid Structures and Technical Specification for Grid Structures. In order to better understand the scope of out-of-code high-rise building projects, I suggest you consult relevant regulations.

Matters needing attention

It should be noted that these regulations only apply to building heights designed after 20 10 12 1. For the previous building height, I suggest you refer to the previous codes and regulations. At the same time, if the codes or regulations are revised in the future, the data such as the maximum applicable height may also be adjusted accordingly.
