Addresses the Question Frequently Proposed to the Designer by
Architects: "Can We Do This? Offering guidance on how to use
code-based procedures while at the same time providing an
understanding of why provisions are necessary, Tall Building
Design: Steel, Concrete, and Composite Systems methodically
explores the structural behavior of steel, concrete, and composite
members and systems. This text establishes the notion that design
is a creative process, and not just an execution of framing
proposals. It cultivates imaginative approaches by presenting
examples specifically related to essential building codes and
standards. Tying together precision and accuracy-it also bridges
the gap between two design approaches-one based on initiative skill
and the other based on computer skill. The book explains loads and
load combinations typically used in building design, explores
methods for determining design wind loads using the provisions of
ASCE 7-10, and examines wind tunnel procedures. It defines
conceptual seismic design, as the avoidance or minimization of
problems created by the effects of seismic excitation. It
introduces the concept of performance-based design (PBD). It also
addresses serviceability considerations, prediction of tall
building motions, damping devices, seismic isolation,
blast-resistant design, and progressive collapse. The final
chapters explain gravity and lateral systems for steel, concrete,
and composite buildings. The Book Also Considers: Preliminary
analysis and design techniques The structural rehabilitation of
seismically vulnerable steel and concrete buildings Design
differences between code-sponsored approaches The concept of
ductility trade-off for strength Tall Building Design: Steel,
Concrete, and Composite Systems is a structural design guide and
reference for practicing engineers and educators, as well as recent
graduates entering the structural engineering profession. This text
examines all major concrete, steel, and composite building systems,
and uses the most up-to-date building codes.
