Modular design for high-rise buildings
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Structures and Buildings, 2010Modular construction is widely used for residential buildings of four to eight storeys and there is pressure to extend this relatively new form of construction to 12 storeys or more. This paper reviews recent modular technologies, and also presents load tests and the analysis of light steel modular walls in compression.

Structural Properties of High-Rise Buildings
2019Structural calculation software and advanced analytical methods are in use due to the dramatic spread of computers and the improvement of performance. This chapter describes the effective structural form of high-rise buildings subject to the action of various external forces, modeling to simplify the analysis of structures and restoring force ...

High Rise Building Column Design
Journal of the Structural Division, 1978The building column design procedure should take into account the effect of frame instability. This effect can be considered by use of the effective lengths of the columns or by application of P-Delta forces. For a selected class of frames and loadings, the effect of frame instability may be ignored. Use of the effective length of columns is a reliable

The Consequences of Living in High-Rise Buildings
Architectural Science Review, 2007Abstract A full account of architectural science must include empirical findings about the social and psychological influences that buildings have on their occupants. Tall residential buildings can have a myriad of such effects. This review summarizes the results of research on the influences of high-rise buildings on residents' experiences of the ...

The design of foundations for high-rise buildings
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Civil Engineering, 2010High-rise buildings are usually founded on some form of piled foundation subject to a combination of vertical, lateral and overturning forces. However, conventional methods for assessing stability may not be adequate when designing such foundations because they tend to focus on resistance under vertical loading.

Solar considerations in high-rise buildings
Energy and Buildings, 2015Abstract One of the fundamental challenges in today's world is substituting fossil fuels with renewable energies. All the frequent practices have been intensified in order to utilize the earth and its environment as a source of energy. Hence, architects and planners have a special responsibility toward energy efficiency development. Here, the overall

Vibration Control of High-rise Buildings
2001High rise buildings are nice examples of complex systems. Damping of vibrations due to wind loads and earth quakes are essential problems. This Chapter presents novel contributions to modelling, control, and supervision of high-rise buildings. Control design is based on passivity, see Chapter 3. Design and testing are also discussed.

Impact Review for High-Rise Buildings
Journal of the Urban Planning and Development Division, 1977In anticipation of the growing trend toward a high-rise building development, it is necessary to develop new methodologies of fitting such structures into the social and physical environment. One basic strategy is to account for the variety of high-rise impacts. Impact review methods should range from qualitative assessments gaging the fit of a project

High Rise Buildings: Present and Future
Architectural Science Review, 1966Summary The paper outlines some difficulties in communication between architects and engineers designing high rise buildings. The return of the bearing wall is noted. Many new building types are classified by a morphlogical table. Suspenarch, a means of reaching new heights in multi storey buildings is examined.Some future developments in structural ...
