Summary:
This book has been developed to serve as a comprehensive reference for designers of tall building structures. Structural design aspects of concrete, steel and composite tall buildings, and all structural loads are discussed with particular reference to wind and seismic loads. Methods for providing gravity and lateral resistance, including the state-of-the-art structural systems, are discussed as well as many facets of structural elements design
