Tall Building Structures

Examines structural aspects of high rise buildings, particularly fundamental approaches to the analysis of the behavior of different forms of building structures including frame, shear wall, tubular, core and outrigger-braced systems. Introductory chapters discuss the forces to which the structure is subjected, design criteria which are of the greatest relevance to tall buildings, and various structural forms which have developed over the years since the first skyscrapers were built at the turn of the century. A major chapter is devoted to the modeling of real structures for both preliminary and final analyses. Considerable attention is devoted to the assessment of the stability of the structure, and the significance of creep and shrinkage is discussed. A final chapter is devoted to the dynamic response of structures subjected to wind and earthquake forces. Includes both accurate computer-based and approximate methods of analysis.

This is just my opinion, i prefer Professor Tranath books (design of tall buildings, 1-Concrete 2010, 2-Steel and Composite 2012, 3-WIND and EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDINGS 2005) except this old (but Respectable) book, they are the most complete references as far as i know,however it,s my opinion, may be fault.
