How the building heights are decided? Whether it depends on area to be built or soil nature.?

Being a high rise construction superintendent, this is my experience:\n\n90% of all building heights are decided upon by the Owner and Architect due to business reasons. They decided to do 80 floors or 35 floors because the building will then meet their business model or usage requirements.\n\n5% of all building heights are decided due to local code. The government may own all air space over 500 ft., which means that a building may only go up 40 floors or so before code or local laws prohibit any additional floors.\n\nThe last 5% is due to local environments, such as surrounding infrastructure, geologic conditions, and whatnot. The fact is that we currently have the technology to build in almost any type of environment, regardless of the conditions. The only factor is money and time. Some owners choose to not build high because the cost factor is so prohibitive.

none of the above. your forgeting that we define movment based on something relative to location. there are 3 dimensions all which are defined from a point of origin. the earth can move which ever way you want it too based on what point of reference you wish to choose.

I think you mean a SITE PLAN? How the building is situated on the site? That is a drawing or other representation of the surroundings, usually buildings. It used to be just a plan view of the site you are working on with the surrounding sites. This does not really show much though because one neighbouring building to the north might be 1 floor high and the building to the south mith be 30 floors high and block all the sun. Or it could be reversed and you might get lots of sun. A traditional site plan doesn't really capture that. So come up with some better way to represent the surroundings and I'm sure you'll get good points. What do the surounding building feel like? How can you show their character on a plan? Are they crisp and clean and new or old and rugged? Can you use old, new, dark, light, soft, hard, course, fine, textured fabric swatches to represent them on a 2D plan and still maintain the scale and everthing else neccessary? Probably. Good luck,\nKyle Martens

In terms of what?  Satellite dishes, building a building, or measuring for flooring?

I don't think height alone makes much difference.  Construction style and materials is a much bigger issue.  But between two buildings which are identical in every way except height, I would the taller one is more succeptible to collapse because its center of mass is higher.

I have heard that the City of Beverly Hills has a requirement where the size of the house is limited due to the size of the lot, older homes cannot be expanded beyond the existing exterior walls.  For this reason there are homeowners that have spent fortunes increasing the size of the house by going under ground.  This requirement does not apply to large lots.  Construction in Southern California is expensive.\n\nIf you need to ask, you can't afford it.

convert everything to ft. (its easier). now, find the volume of the deep area (length times width times height). then divide by the volume by the bags of mulch

humidity and degrees are two different things. \n\nhumidity is based on air content (moisture)

"Square feet" are used to measure area and "cubic feet" are used to measure volume. These are quite different concepts and there is no way to change one into the other. You can convert cubic feet to gallons, (one gallon is approximately 0.1336 cubic feet) or square feet to acres (one acre is 43,560 square feet) but not square feet to cubic feet.\n\nIf you were covering an area with a depth, then we can convert.  see below:\n\nhow many cubic yards of soil is needed to cover 750 square feet at a height of 3 inches?\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nSince you want the volume in cubic yards I would first convert all the measurements to yards. There are 3 feet in a yard and hence 32 = 9 square feet in a square yard. Thus\n\n750 square feet is 750/9  = 83.33 square yards.\n\nThere are 36 inches in a yard so\n\n3 inches is 3/36  = 0.0833 yards.\n\nThus the volume of soil needed is\n\n83.33  0.0833 = 6.9 cubic yards.

Here's the start of the answer and here is the link to the rest.\nA skyscraper is a very tall, continuously habitable building. Although there is no official definition, a minimum height of approximately 150 meters or 492.12 feet is often used as a criterion for a building to qualify as a skyscraper. Other criteria like shape and appearance may also affect whether or not a building is considered a skyscraper. The city of Chicago is credited as being the birth place of the skyscraper.\n\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyscraper

The height separation depends on the scale of the Ordnance Survey map!
