Abstract
The components constituting any structure can be classified under two categories — namely the horizontal components like beams and slabs and vertical components such as columns and shear walls. Observations, trends and variations in this chapter clearly indicate that with the increase in number of storeys from 5 to 50, the variation in the constituent quantities for horizontal components is minimal while that for vertical components is substantial.
