Preface TALL BUILDING DESIGN Steel, Concrete, and Composite Systems :

Tall. buildings. have. a. unique. appeal,. even. an. air. of. romance. and. mystery. associated. with. their. design The adoration that super-.and ultratall buildings command lies in their apparent freedom.

from.gravity.loads—they.do.not.just.stand.tall,.they.seem.to.do.so.effortlessly.resisting.gravity.as. 

well as laterally directed force generated by wind gusts.and.seismic.ground.motions Tall.buildings.have.fascinated.humans.from.the.beginning.of.civilizationthe.primary.motivation.was.to.create.monuments.rather.than.human.habitats..Today’s.structures,.on.the.other.hand,. are.human.habitats—not.allowed.by.economics.and.design.to.be.nearly.as.simple,.heavy,.stiff,.and.

robust.as.their.relatively.recent.counterparts.such.as.the.Empire.State.Building.of.the.1930s.

Although.tall.buildings.are.unique.from.certain.aspects.such.as.consideration.of.lateral.deflection,.their.design,.in.a.manner.of.speaking,.is.similar.to.the.design.of.their.lower.brethren.

.Thus.the.material.presented.in.this.book.applies.equally.to.not-so-tall.buildings.as.well.

This.book.is.an.outgrowth.of.my.previous.publications..It.attempts.to.maintain.the.same.basic.

approach:.first.to.establish.a.firm.understanding.of.the.behavior.of.structural.members.and.systems.

and.then.to.develop.proficiency.in.the.methods.used.in.current.design.practice.with.particular.reference.to.the.provisions.of.the.following.publications:

•. Minimum.Design.Loads.for.Buildings.and.Other.Structures,.ASCE/SEI.7-10.Specifications

•. Specifications.for.Structural.Steel.Buildings,.ANSI/ASCE.360-10

•. Seismic.Provisions.of.Structural.Steel.Buildings,.ANS1/AISC.341-10

•. Pre-qualified. Connections. for. Special. and. Intermediate. Steel. Moment. Connections. for.

Seismic.Applications,.ANSI/AISC.358-10

•. Building.Code.Requirements.for.Structural.Concrete,.ACI.318-11

•. Seismic.Rehabilitation.of.Existing.Buildings,.ASCE/SEI.41-06
