Design Steel Your Way II
Efficient Analysis for Steel Design using the 2005 AISC Specification
Can you imagine designing without ever having to calculate a K-factor again? It's an option now, called the Direct Analysis Method.
Attend this seminar and you will understand the principles of analysis and design that are the basis of the 2005 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. Learn an approach to design that results in an economical structural steel solution achieved with the efficiency required of a design office. See the basic differences between first-order analysis and second-order analysis, when and why second-order analysis must be used, and how to use the various methods provided for in ANSI/AISC 360.
You will learn about stability of structural frames, the use and misuse of the effective length factor, K, and the how and why of design without the need for K. Extensive analysis and design examples will be provided so that attendees have guidance to follow when approaching their own specific projects. Although specific software will not be discussed, examples will be presented that illustrate how to carry out the new Direct Analysis Method with the currently available software and how to evaluate your own software for accomplishing an acceptable analysis. Each attendee will receive a copy of the Course Notes and AISC's Basic Design Values card.

Kindly share your rules of thumb here which are very useful in civil/structural engineering.
The following rules of thumb are useful to me:
1) For every foot span of beam use 3/4 of an inch height for that beam.
2) Size column so that the column area is 0.12% of the area of floor supported.
3) For every story of the building, use 100 mm thickness of raft foundation.
PERFORMANCE BASED SEISMIC AND WIND ENGINEERING FOR 60 STORY TWIN TOWERS IN MANILA
The 14th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering
October 12-17, 2008, Beijing, China
M.R. Willford and R.J. Smith
This paper describes the structural design of two similar 60 storey towers in Manila using performance based
procedures for seismic and wind actions. High-rise buildings designed by performance based methods not only
perform better than conventionally designed ones, but are also less expensive to construct. The buildings
incorporate the Arup Damped Outrigger System, and the savings realized by this are discussed.

I have some towers 30-40m high to design
I would be very grateful to anyone of you who can post a link regarding the design of such towers.
The relevant code of practice for the design is BS 8100

Does anybody have a working link to Manual J by ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractors of America)? Both Manual J and Software that goes with it, if available.
