Design of Tall Buildings

PURPOSE To impart the overall knowledge about the material, elements and systems with planning, analysis and design involved in Tall Buildings. INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES To introduce various systems of tall buildings To know about different types of loads, materials and design philosophy Various structural systems with their behaviour are introduced To impart knowledge about static, dynamic and stability analysis of various systems To know about recent topics of research of tall buildings

INTRODUCTION Design Philosophy - History - advantages and disadvantages - Vertical city concepts - essential amenities - fire safety - water supply - drainage and garbage disposal - service systems - structural and foundation systems. Factors affecting height, growth and form - Human comfort criteria. LOADS AND MATERIALS Gravity loading - Dead and Live load - calculation - Impact and construction loads. Wind loading - static and dynamic approach - Analytical and wind tunnel experimental method. Earthquake loading - Equivalent lateral force, Modal analysis - combination of loading in various design philosophies. Materials for tall buildings - High strength concrete - Light weight concrete - Fibre reinforced concrete Composite Materials. STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS Behavior of High Rise structures - Different system for load distribution in steel and concrete - Vertical and horizontal load resistant systems - Rigid frames - braced frames - infilled frames - shear walls - wall frames - tubular systems - outrigger braced systems - Mega systems. ANALYSIS AND DESIGN Analysis and Design principles of various horizontal load transfer systems - approximate methods - Modelling for accurate analysis - 3D analysis - Member forces - displacements. Analysis for various secondary effects - Creep, shrinkage and temperature. Stability Analysis - Overall buckling analysis of frames, wall frames, approximate methods, second order effects of gravity loading, P - effect and various methods of analysis - influence of foundation instability, out of plumb effects - Elastic Deformations. Dynamic Analysis - Principles of design of tall braced frames for earthquake and blast resistant design. ADVANCED TOPICS Structural systems for future generation buildings - Expert systems for consultations - Economics - Research needs in tall building materials, systems and designs.
