Floor numbering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Floor numbering is the numbering scheme used for a building's floors; it varies depending on the level of the "first floor" and on the names given to the subterranean levels. Rooms numbers generally start with the floor's number; occasionally the first element may be the letter representing the floor. Unusual numbering exists in some hotels, for example, the uppermost level may be PH (for Penthouse), R (for Roof), or O (for Observation Deck), and the entrance level may sometimes be denoted M (for Main), or L (for Lobby). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Floor_numbering   (997 words)

Floor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In most of Europe, and thus in British and Commonwealth usage, the floor at the ground level is the ground floor, and the floor above is the first floor, which maintains the continental European use dating from the days of the construction of palaces. For example, in French, the term for the ground floor is rez de chaussée. The principal floor is the story which contains the chief apartments, whether on the ground floor or the floor above; in Italy they are always on the latter and known as the piano nobile. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Floor   (335 words)

Thirteenth floor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Although the thirteenth floor has been skipped in terms of numbering (i.e., for hotel/apartment/suite numbers), the floor numbered 14 is technically the thirteenth floor of the building; it is simply not numbered as such. For instance, the thirteenth floor of 1 Canada Square houses the air conditioning equipment and no rentable offices, though the owners insist that this is merely an architectural coincidence. It should be noted that to place a floor between those accessible from an elevator, it is necessary to either take longer to travel between the neighboring floors, or accelerate, both of which would be noticed by the riders. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Thirteenth_floor   (579 words)

The Government FEMA WTC "investigations" - THE BANKERS TRUST BUILDING. : NC Indymedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Floor beams are typically non-composite and consist of rolled W14, W16, and W18 shapes spanning north to south between girders, typically spaced at 8 feet 8 inches. The floor beams are fastened to the girders via shear connections and typically utilize a partial end plate welded to the floor beam and bolted to the girder with A307 bearing bolts. In the area between the 8th and 16th floors, the damage area generally increased as the partial collapse progressed downward to include, and sometimes exceed, portions of the two bays bounded by columns C-8 to E-8 and C-7 to E-7, with column D-8 missing in the area of the 12th floor. chapelhill.indymedia.org /news/2005/04/14913.php   (5316 words)

Guidelines for Stairwell Signs in Multi-storey Buildings However, those doors required to provide emergency access to floor areas are required to be identified by a sign on the stairway side to indicate that they are openable from that side. In order to help orient people in the event of an emergency, the number of each floor and a designation assigned to each exit stair shaft are required by the Building Code (Article 3.4.6.18.) to be mounted permanently on each side of a door to an exit stair shaft. The assigned floor number must be shown as an Arabic numeral that is contrasting in colour with the surface to which it is applied. www.ofm.gov.on.ca /english/Publications/Guidelines/1998-00.asp   (2038 words)

1990 NOVA Awards The NOVA Award was presented to the Face Floor Profile Numbering System, more commonly called the F-Number System, for innovation in methods of specifying and measuring flatness of concrete slab floors. The traditional method of determining flatness of concrete slabs is to measure the gap between a ten-foot straight edge and the floor. For floors where traffic routes vary, Face invented the Dipstick to record the relative elevations of points on a 1' by 1' grid. www.cif.org /prewin90.htm   (961 words)

200 Greenwich Street (Foster WTC Tower) - Page 4 - Wired New York Forum The variables in the total height of the building are the floor-to-floor heights, the height of the mechanical floors (which can be double), the height of the base floors, and the height of the crown. Average floor height for office space is 14 ft. NYTimes is 13'9"; 7WTC is 14' 3". If that number is correct, then all you can say about the height of the building is that it will have to be over 900 ft.

Vegas4Visitors Nightlife - Ultra-Lounges They bill ghostbar as being on the 55th floor of the hotel, which would be fine if in fact there were actually 55 stories, but there aren't. Some interesting and culturally sensitive floor numbering (4 is bad luck in certain Asian cultures) has transformed the 42nd floor into the 55th floor and although I understand the concept behind it is ultimately an altruistic one, they are milking it for all it's worth and that kind of bugs me a little. Entry is via a dramatic (and head-spinning for the height-phobic) glass-elevator ride up more than forty floors where you are deposited into the virtually all fl lounge side of the establishment, while the adjacent restaurant portion is virtually all white. www.vegas4visitors.com /nightlife/ultra.htm   (2382 words)
