Description
This course gives a brief introduction to Skyscrapers, shows some examples of them around the world. It also discuses in brief their different available structural systems and gives a very fast introduction to their Aerodynamic behavior. It might be very useful for final year undergraduate students and to young engineers who want to pursue a career in the design of tall buildings be, towers and Skyscrapers. The structural challenges of building 800 meters into the sky are substantial, and include several factors which do not affect low-rise construction. This course focuses on these areas specifically to provide the architectural and structural knowledge which must be taken into account in order to design tall buildings successfully. Case studies of some of the world's most iconic buildings, illustrated in full color, will bring to life the design challenges which they presented to architects and struc-tural engineers. The Empire State Building, the Burj Khalifa, the Taipei 101 and the Pirelli Building are just a few examples of the buildings whose real-life specifications are used to explain and illustrate core design principles, and their subsequent effect on the finished structure. This course includes the following topics:Introduction: Skyscrapers-Structural Systems and Aerodynamic FormTall buildingsLateral loads affecting tall buildingsThe structural systems of tall buildings Tall building case studiesThe effect of wind on tall buildingsdesign approaches against wind excitationAppendix: Examples of tall buildings and their structural systems
