Multi-hazard design of mid- to high-rise structures
The importance of multi-hazard design of structures has emerged in the last decade, as extensive media coverage of natural disasters have increased public awareness of the catastrophic damage that hurricanes and earthquakes can wreak on buildings and infrastructure. Current design codes treat …

An Approximate Dynamic Analysis of Tube Structures
In the design of high-rise structures, the tube concept has been widely accepted as an effective means to resist lateral loads arising from earthquakes or wind. Because finite element analyses of these structures are costly and time-consuming, an approximate method of analysis is needed. The object …

Building optimization : an integrated approach to the design of tall buildings
… a new metric in the dynamic analysis of high rise structures.

A Study of the Seismic Performance of Early Multi-Story Steel Frame Structures with Unreinforced Masonry Infill
… masonry infill walls is a common system found in high-rise structures built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Recorded performance of this dual system during seismic events shows that the structures are able to resist a high level of lateral loads without collapse, primarily …

Investigation of shear lag effect in high-rise buildings with diagrid system
… heights. The most efficient building system for high-rises has been the framed tube system. However, the framed tube building suffers from shear lag effects which cause a nonlinear distribution of axial stresses along the face of the building. A particular structural system called a diagrid …

Comparing Optimized Perimeter Steel Bracing of Tall Buildings under Different Seismic Regions
There are challenges associated with building high-rise structures sustainably and safely, especially in seismic regions. These types of structures face extreme loading conditions. One promising solution for these challenges is topology optimization, which involves determining the optimal material …

Skycourts and skygardens: towards a vertical urban theory
… and typologies that balance open space within high density development is a phenomenon increasingly being realised in Asian cities, and has started to redefine the tall building within the city. This thesis focuses on two semi-‐public social spaces that cross the …

Lime and Cement Technology: Transition from Traditional to Standardized treatment Methods
… such as roads, bridges, dams, sewers, and high-rise structures. In order to facilitate high-rise construction with cement, masonry units such as commercially produced brick were developed with similar strength and compression characteristics as cement. Historically, lime mortar preparation …
