  • Speed of erection :
    • Congested city states
    • Difficult access
    • Planning and organisation of construction sequence
    • Repetitive operations and prefabrication
    • Improved techniques, e.g. slipform, flying form, concrete pumping, climbing crane etc
  • Tall vs low-rise buildings : Provision of lateral stiffness for
    • limiting deflections
