Read a short extract from an article below, about the
D. dimensions of skyscrapers. Underline and explain the
meaning of those words in the text which describe:
a. Element of skyscrapers
b. Dimensions
*PS: Give examples of dimensions of objects to illustrate the meaning of each word.
You and your partner are consulting engineers. You are going to give a
E. technical briefing to some investors who are planning a new skyscraper
project. The talk should focus on the question of key dimensions which will
be determined by the overall height, number of floors and total floor space of
the skyscraper – as discussed in the extract above. Hold a discussion and
make notes to prepare your briefing. Include the elements and dimensions
you underlined in previous exercise. You can the example discussion below
to get started.
a) The total height of the skyscraper will determine its width, as taller structures
need to be wider, for stability.
b) Yes. And the height and width of the structure will determine the total area of
the curtain walls. The area of the walls is important, because it’ll determine the
amount of wind load on the building.
c) That’s right. And the amount of wind load is critical because that’ll affect ...
