1. One of the most efficient structural systems against heavy wind loads is the bundled tube structural system  The first person
to implement the bundled tube structural system was Fazlur Rahman Khan from Dhaka, Bangladesh with the design of the DeWitt-
Chestnut Apartments in Chicago, Illinois. Bundled tube structural system
2.3. The landmark and iconic building that uses the bundled tube structural system is the Willis Tower (formerly known as the
Sears Tower) Fazlur Rahman Khan
3.4. A bundled tube typically consists of a number of individual tubes interconnected to form a multicell tube, in which the frames
in the lateral load direction resist the shears, while the flange frames carry most of the overturning moments. A Bundled Tube
