Design and Performance of Tall Buildings for Wind, MOP 143, provides a framework for the design of tall buildings for wind, based on the current state-of-practice in tall building structural design and wind tunnel testing.
This book advises you to consider the influence of a particular site’s geology, wind conditions, and seismicity.
Also commonly referred as high-rise, tower and skyscraper, the challenges and possibilities related to the tall building raise numerous questions, which include: what are the limits of tall buildings in terms of height, size, ...
This second edition of Designing Tall Buildings, an accessible reference to guide you through the fundamental principles of designing high-rises, features two new chapters, additional sections, 400 images, project examples, and updated US ...
This book focusses on these areas specifically to provide the architectural and structural knowledge which must be taken into account in order to design tall buildings successfully.
The purpose of this book is to provide structural and architectural engineers with the practical state-of-the-art knowledge and tools needed for designing and retrofitting buildings for wind loads.
Assessment and Design for Optimal Performance Mingfeng Huang ... Such a site-specific wind speed data analysis can not only provide more accurate design wind speeds associated with various return periods but also account for the wind ...
This text examines all major concrete, steel, and composite building systems, and uses the most up-to-date building codes.
This book provides structural designers with a systematic approach to anticipate and solve issues for tall buildings and complex structures. This book begins with a clear and rigorous exposition of theories behind designing tall buildings.
This heavily practical book formalizes a great deal of information and understanding from the authors’ practice and their work in developing AISC, ACI and ASCE codes of practice.
As software skills rise to the forefront of design concerns, the art of structural conceptualization is often minimized.
