2.3.1 SS Wall Thickness

The thickness of SS wall varies accordingly to SS clear height and the setback distance. The thickness shall comply with the following requirements:

a. The minimum SS wall thickness shall be in accordance with TABLE 2.3.1.

b. Wall thickness of any SS or NS within the SS tower shall not be less than the wall thickness of the SS or NS above it.

c. Internal common wall between 2 adjacent SS shall be at least 200mm thick. Refer to FIGURE 2.3.1.

d. The minimum internal common wall thickness between SS and enclosed NS shall be 200mm. The minimum internal common wall thickness between SS and non-enclosed NS shall be 300mm. Refer to FIGURE 2.12.2(i).

e. For internal SS and S/C SS length more than 8000mm, an additional 25mm thickness shall be provided to the affected SS wall. Refer to FIGURE 2.2.1(a) and 2.2.1(b).

2.3.2 Slab Thickness of SS and Enclosed NS

The minimum dimensions of members forming part of the SS tower shall be as follows:

a. Ceiling slab of top-most SS or S/C SS or scissor S/C SS – 300mm. Refer to FIGURE 2.3.2.

b. Slab between two SS or S/C SS or scissor S/C SS – 200mm. Refer to FIGURE 2.3.2.

c. Floor slab of bottom-most SS/NS in contact with soil – 300mm. Refer to FIGURE 2.3.2.

d. Slab between SS or S/C SS and enclosed NS - 200mm - Refer to FIGURE 2.3.2.

2.3.3 Slab Thickness of SS and Non-Enclosed NS

a. Floor slab of bottom-most SS that is directly supported by non-enclosed NS or NS wall - 300mm. Refer to FIGURE 2.3.2.

b. Ceiling slab of SS which is below non-enclosed NS or NS wall - 300mm.

c. Slab between two non-enclosed NS - 300mm.
