E-Tower
Concrete resistance
E-Tower has the world record for concrete resistance, with a 10 metres floor-to-ceiling high lobby. The building was projected to the resistance concrete fck = 80 MPa, so that the four underground levels' pillars could have their dimensions reduced without losing their resistance capacity. The reduction of the pillars section allowed a higher number of parking spaces. The compression resistance achieved was considered a national record.
Usage
It is composed of three different volumes. From 3rd to 7th floor, each floor has 1100 m of net area; from the 8th to the 19th floor, each floor has 850 m of net area; and from the 22nd to the 37th floor, each floor has 550 m of net area. Features of the building include a heated swimming pool in the 37th floor, an auditorium for 100 people on the ground level, a fitness centre on the 20th floor, a restaurant on the 21st floor, and a helipad on the roof.
