An essential guide to designing tall and super tall buildings―thoroughly revised for the latest standards and advances T his fully updated guide clearly explains the structural systems, codes, and calculations used in the design and construction of tall and supertall buildings. This new edition has been reconceived to provide more practical and applied information to help you understand the design procedures and code provisions involved. The book discusses the latest versions of relevant codes and standards, including the 2018 IBC, ASCE 7-16, ACI 318, and AISC 360 & 341. Readers will learn how to correctly apply these building codes and standards. Steel, Concrete, and Composite Design of Tall and Supertall Buildings, Third Edition addresses the latest materials, technologies, and construction techniques being used in the field, including the use of BIM for tall buildings and monitoring methods for building movement. Brand-new case studies in this edition encompass a variety of tall and supertall buildings from North America, Asia, and Europe that illustrate real-world applications. Chapters cover: Wind Effects Seismic effects Lateral Systems for Steel Buildings Lateral Systems for Concrete Buildings Lateral Systems for Composite Construction Gravity Systems for Steel Buildings Gravity Systems for Concrete Buildings Composite Gravity Systems Analysis Techniques Performance-Based Design Special Topics This practical reference is ideal for engineering students, consulting engineers, architects, engineers employed by federal, state, and local governments, and educators.
