Examines structural aspects of high rise buildings, particularly
fundamental approaches to the analysis of the behavior of different
forms of building structures including frame, shear wall, tubular,
core and outrigger-braced systems. Introductory chapters discuss
the forces to which the structure is subjected, design criteria
which are of the greatest relevance to tall buildings, and various
structural forms which have developed over the years since the
first skyscrapers were built at the turn of the century. A major
chapter is devoted to the modeling of real structures for both
preliminary and final analyses. Considerable attention is devoted
to the assessment of the stability of the structure, and the
significance of creep and shrinkage is discussed. A final chapter
is devoted to the dynamic response of structures subjected to wind
and earthquake forces. Includes both accurate computer-based and
approximate methods of analysis.
