Tall Building Design

Tall Building Design: Steel, Concrete, and Composite Systems, 1st Edition, is a reference dedicated to the structural design of tall buildings. The text connects precision and accuracy by presenting practical examples related to key building codes and standards.

Primary areas of coverage include loads and load combinations, wind analysis, and conceptual seismic design. The text also introduces performance-based design and examines structural responses to extreme events, including blast effects and progressive collapse.

In addition, the work bridges the gap between design approaches founded on initiative skill and those reliant on computer skill. It outlines gravity and lateral systems across steel, concrete, and composite buildings.
