Wake characteristics of tall buildings in a realistic urban Canopy [PDF]

, 2019
The presence of tall buildings in cities affects momentum and scalar exchange within and above the urban canopy. As wake effects can be important over large distances, they are crucial for urban-flow modelling on and across different spatial scales.

Process for Integrating Constructability into the Design Phase in High-Rise Concrete Buildings: Focused on Temporary Work

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2018
With the increase in high-rise building construction, failure to consider constructability in the design phase can result in huge wastes in the construction phase, as well as losing opportunities for design improvement.

Seismic response evaluation of RC tower connected to short rigid buildings. [PDF]

, 2011
In urban construction with the presence of tall buildings adjacent to short buildings, civil engineers have tried to connect low-rise rigid buildings to tall buildings in order to enhance the rigidity of the towers and decrease seismic response induced ...

A Structural Grammar Approach for the Generative Design of Diagrid-Like Structures

Buildings, 2021
An innovative generative design strategy, based on shape grammar, is proposed for the minimum-weight design of diagrid tall buildings. By considering the building as a three-dimensional vertical cantilever beam with a tubular section under horizontal ...

Hexagrid-Voronoi transition in structural patterns for tall buildings [PDF]

Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2019
In this paper, a first insight into the role that non-conventional structural patterns might play in the design of tall buildings is presented. The idea is to explore the mechanical properties of selected non-conventional structural patterns, in the form
