Hybrid damping system for high-rise building outriggers
Recent design of buildings utilizes different strategies to mitigate the lateral displacement and acceleration from wind and earthquake excitation. One of the strategies is to dissipate external energy with dampers. For high-rise buildings, outrigger systems which connect the core and perimeter …

Time and cost overruns on high-rise building construction in Bangladesh
… investigated both time and cost overruns on high-rise building projects in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Surprisingly, preliminary data analysis showed negligible cost overruns in comparison to time overruns. So, further analysis o f cost overruns was not considered in this thesis. This research project …

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF WIDE COLUMN LUMPING METHOD FOR PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF HIGH-RISE BUILDING
… pressure on limited space have considerably made high-rise buildings used as feasible solution for housing and commercial needs. However, there are many complex and indeterminate problems, especially analysing high-rise building at the conceptual design stage. As pointed out in several researches, …

Tall buildings in Asia : a critique on the high-rise building in Colombo, Shri Lanka
The recent generation of tall buildings in Asia have been appropriated from the West with little adaptation. With no understanding of the forces that have generated this building form, Asia embraces the high-rise as an expression of modernity. The intention of this theses is to examine the …

An Architecture of Verticality
One of the chief characteristics of a high-rise building is its verticality. However, it seems that most high-rise buildings do not directly pursue the architecture of verticality. Moreover, verticality is rarely perceived within this building type. This thesis investigates the potential of …

Social congestion in Shanghai : an urban housing project designed on its sections
The new housing developments of Shanghai rely on high-rise building, demolishing the prevailing low-rise high-density housing, known as Lilong housing, built in the early 20th century, and known as Lilong housing. The high-rise building, a symbol of modern living providing open view, better …

Modelling and Prediction of the Effects of Dynamic Responses of Tall Buildings on an Elevator System
Vibrations on a high rise building often influence all elevator components and affect the ride quality of the elevator car. The lateral and longitudinal vibrations of the suspension and compensating ropes can occur and the lateral and longitudinal vibrations at the elevator car may take place. The …

Application of layout and topology optimization using pattern gradation for the conceptual design of buildings
… along any direction, the conceptual design for buildings is facilitated. To substantiate the potential future applications of this work, examples within the context of high-rise building design are presented. Successful development of such ideas will lead to practical engineering solutions, …

Optimization of outrigger structures
Designing a high rise building has its challenges. Different structural systems have been developed to control the lateral displacement of high rise buildings. One of these systems is called the outrigger which decreases both the horizontal movement of the structure and the moment on the foundation …

Trends and innovations in high-rise buildings over the past decade
Over the past decade, high-rise buildings in the world are both booming in quantity and expanding in height. One of the most important reasons driven the achievement is the continuously evolvement of structural systems. In this paper, previous classifications of structural systems are summarized …

Application of knee-bracing system on high-rise buildings
The need and ambition of humanity to go higher and higher is something that is amplified as time evolves. It is the same need that leads engineers to push their structures to higher limits. However, when engineers design higher structures their knowledge and their abilities are challenged. In that …

Carbon nanotubes and their application to very long span bridges
… materials used. Whereas structural design for high rise building is fast-expanding, the overall design of long span bridges has not progressed significantly, and the increase in span chiefly depends of new materials. Carbon nanotubes, with their extraordinary Young's modulus and tensile …

A high rise multi-use building for Boston : an investigation into the nature and organization of public space in a tall building
… to organize public space vertically in a tall building. In most cases, high rise buildings tend to be organized in one of two ways, either centrally, with the core elements in the center of the building footprint, or linearly, with core elements at the ends of the building footprint,(usually, …

Hi-Low : new semi public space in the high-rise
… though there is trash in front of the apartment building, nobody picks it up until the cleaning woman does something. This is the irony of high-rise apartment housing. No one wants to behave as if they own the place. After parking their cars in the lot, people try to go to their private space as …
