A tower block, high-rise, apartment tower, residential tower, apartment
block, block of flats, or office tower is a tall building or structure used
as a residential and/or office building. In some areas it may be referred to
as an “MDU”, standing for “Multi-Dwelling Unit”.In the United States, such a
structure is referred to as an apartment building or office building, while
a group of such buildings is called an apartment complex or office complex.
High-rise buildings became possible with the invention of the elevator
(lift) and cheaper, more abundant building materials. The materials used for
the structural system of high-rise buildings are reinforced concrete and
steel. Most North American-style skyscrapers have a steel frame, while
residential blocks are usually constructed of concrete. There is no clear
difference between a tower block and a skyscraper, although a building with
fifty or more stories is generally considered a skyscraper.
High-rise structures pose particular design challenges for structural and
geotechnical engineers, particularly if situated in a seismically active
region or if the underlying soils have geotechnical risk factors such as
high compressibility or bay mud.
