Effect of High-Rise Buildings on the Surrounding Thermal Environment
Building and Environment, 2022High-rise buildings degrade the thermal environment of their surroundings through wind turbulence, cooling, and excessive heating. This study identifies the role and relationship of geometric (form, orientation, dimension) and material (type, volume ...

Energy Efficiency and Carbon Emission in High-Rise Buildings: A Review (2005-2020)
Building and Environment, 2021Heightening population density and expanding urbanization has increased the need for constructing high-rise buildings due to land shortage. Many efforts have been done to design or retrofit high-rises in an energy efficient and sustainable way to ...

RADON ACTION LEVEL FOR HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS
Health Physics, 1999Radon and its progeny are the major contributors to the natural radiation dose received by human beings. Many countries and radiological authorities have recommended radon action levels to limit the indoor radon concentrations and, hence, the annual doses to the general public.

Progressive collapse and robustness of modular high-rise buildings
Structure and Infrastructure Engineering, 2021Contrary to conventional buildings, the structural robustness of modular high-rise buildings has not been studied due to the lack of the numerical and experimental studies and design guides.

Triple friction pendulum isolation bearings are typically designed with only earthquakes in mind, or perhaps with a large enough initial friction coefficient to limit displacement under wind loads.

Monitoring of High‐Rise Buildings
Journal of Surveying Engineering, 1988Tall buildings have mushroomed in Boston as they have elsewhere. Modern technology has made high‐rise construction efficient and architects more daring. The surveying engineer faces many adversities during the translation process from blueprint to construction site.

A novel passive control device, defined as tuned liquid-column-damper–inerter (TLCDI), with nonlinear characteristics is developed for control of the wind-induced responses of adjacent high-rise buildings. TLCDI exploits the combined advantages of liquid
