Tall Building Structures : Analysis and Design, Hardcover by Smith, Bryan Stafford; Coull, Alex, ISBN 0471512370, ISBN-13 9780471512370, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Analyzes the behavior of different forms of structures, including frame, shear wall, tubular, core, and outrigger braced systems. Introductory chapters discuss the forces to which structures are subjected, design criteria, and various structural skyscraper forms which have developed over the years. Additional topics include: the modeling of real structures, stability, the significance of creep and shrinkage, and the dynamic response of buildings to the forces of wind and earthquakes.

SynopsisExamines structural aspects of high rise buildings, particularly fundamental approaches to the analysis of the behaviour of different forms of building structures including frame, shear wall, tubular, core and outrigger-braced systems., 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., 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.
