A comprehensive design reference, this book guides engineers to visualize, conceptualize, and realize structural systems for tall buildings that are elegant and economical. Integrating the design of steel and composite buildings in one volume, it addresses wind and earthquake engineering, code provisions, and detailing techniques to make structures as earthquake-resistant as possible. Forty case studies highlight aspects of conceptualization that are key in the design of tall and ultra-tall buildings. The author demonstrates how to use imperfect information, basic strength of material concepts, and conceptual thinking to estimate the answers to larger and more complex structural design problems.

This book examines the behavior of structural members and systems to aid in the structural design of tall buildings in conjunction with the latest building codes. These code provisions are subject to change periodically. Familiarity with current methodologies is essential to designing structures that comply with legally adapted standards in a safe, economic, and efficient manner. However, the first nine chapters explain the fundamental principles of structural engineering in such a manner as to be entirely independent of code regulations.
