Lateral systems for tall buildings
… the efficient and safe design of increasingly taller structures. These structures are the consequence of increasing urban densification and economic viability. The modern skyscraper has and will thus continue to feature prominently in the landscape of urban cities. The trend towards …

Dynamic interrelationship between technology and architecture in tall buildings
… between the technology and architecture of tall buildings is investigated from the emergence of tall buildings in the late 19th century to the present. Through the historical research, a filtering concept is developed - original technology and remedial technology - through which one can …

Ultra-High Performance Concrete Shear Walls in Tall Buildings
… performance concrete (UHPC) for shear walls in tall buildings considering structural efficiency and environmental sustainability. The Lattice Discrete Particle Model (LDPM) was used to simulate the response to failure of concrete shear walls without web steel bar reinforcement under lateral …

Shear wall layout optimization for conceptual design of tall buildings
In the design of tall buildings, the lateral system that resists wind and seismic loading usually dominates the structural engineering effort; therefore, optimal lateral system design is important for material efficiency. In a shear-wall-based building, the conventional design process starts with …

Schematic design of distributed mass damping systems for tall buildings
As new high-rises grow taller and more slender, the design of tall buildings becomes heavily constrained by the control of lateral displacements and accelerations due to dynamic excitations. This has led to the development of motion control devices, such as the Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) and Tuned …

Serviceability-based design of tall buildings subjected to vortex shedding
… the number and height of residential and office buildings leading to a requirement of having a special design for these tall buildings. Due to the advancement of technology leading to an increase in the strength of materials used in construction, these types of buildings can be built. This leads …

Frequency-based response of damped outrigger systems for tall buildings
The outrigger structural system for tall buildings is known to be effective in reducing lateral drift under quasi-static wind loading. Although keeping lateral deflection below the required value is certainly important, it is found that in most tall buildings without supplementary damping, the …

Optimal applications of high-strength concrete in structural walls of tall buildings
… concrete (HSC) in structural walls of tall buildings. Emphasis is put on the cost-benefits corresponding to the use of higher concrete strengths. The parameters included in the cost analysis are: the material cost of concrete and reinforcing steel; the construction costs including the …

The role of the aerodynamic modifications of the shapes of tall buildings
With the advances in technology, recent tall building design has undergone a shift to the free-style geometric forms in the exuberant and liberal atmosphere. As a height of the building increases, it is more susceptible to vibration caused by wind because of its asymmetric distribution of mass and …

Comparing Optimized Perimeter Steel Bracing of Tall Buildings under Different Seismic Regions
… to optimize a steel lateral frame system in tall buildings for seismic design. The focus of this work is to expand upon this method, generating lateral frame systems for tall buildings from response spectra in different seismic regions rather than from an idealized design spectrum. The …

Effects of a tuned mass damper on wind-induced motions in tall buildings
… engineers have found solutions to build taller and taller structures. However, the race for the sky has not only brought up new ways of building, it has also created new problems to face, namely wind-induced motions. In particular, wind loadings are now the source of vibrations in …

Strategies for mitigating wind-induced motion in tall buildings through aerodynamic and damping modifications
… virtually unchanged. The end result is a wave of taller, slender and more flexible skyscrapers that are very susceptible to wind-induced excitations. Ever mindful of the fact that human comfort levels are affected by perceived structural responses, engineers must employ various strategies to …
