Opis

The design of tall buildings structures involves several rather complex design activities, including data capture, modelling, conceptual design, and structural analysis and detailing. While traditional design approaches employ a 'trial and error' method, Design and Analysis of Tall Buildings Structures provides structural designers with a systematic approach to anticipate and solve issues for tall and complex structures. Design and Analysis of Tall Buildings Structures begins with a clear and rigorous exposition of theory along with an explanation of the basic design issues encountered in the planning stages of Tall building projects. This is followed by chapters concerning modeling applications for the design and analysis of MRF and shear wall structure, core wall and Outrigger-braced structures and tubular structures. With this book researchers and designers will find a valuable reference to topics such as diagrid structure and Mega-frame structures, complex geometry and tensigity and membrane structures.

• Features numerous worked-through examples to assist the reader's understanding of the topics
• Provides the latest modeling methods in design, such as BIM and parametric modeling techniques
• Offers a detailed explanation of widely used computer programs in current design practice, such as SAP2000, ETABS and Rhino
• Includes modeling case studies and building models for all types of tall complex structures, such as tensigity and membrane structures, tubular structures and wall and outrigger-braced structures
