This book discusses performance-based seismic and wind-resistant design for high-rise building structures, with a particular focus on establishing an integrated approach for performance-based wind engineering, which is currently less advanced than seismic engineering.

Recent trends towards developing increasingly taller
and irregularly-shaped buildings have led to slender
complex structures that are highly sensitive and
susceptible to wind-induced deflection and
vibration. In the design of this new generation of
tall buildings, structural engineers are facing the
challenge of striving for the most efficient and
economical design solution while ensuring that the
final design must be serviceable for its intended
function, habitable for its occupants and safe over
its design life-time. The emerging performance-based
design concept provides a...
