The first of its kind, Designing Tall Buildings is an accessible reference that guides you through the fundamental principles of designing high-rises. Each chapter focuses on one theme central to tall-building design, giving you a comprehensive overview of the related architecture and structural engineering concepts. Mark P. Sarkisian provides clear definitions of technical terms and introduces important equations, to help you gradually develop your knowledge. Later chapters allow you to explore more complex applications, such as biomimicry. Projects drawn from Skidmore, Owings and Merrill’s vast catalog of built high-rises, many of which Sarkisian designed, demonstrate these concepts.
This book advises you to consider the influence of a particular site’s geology, wind conditions, and seismicity. Using this contextual knowledge and analysis, you can determine what types of structural solutions are best suited for a tower on that site. You can then conceptualize and devise efficient structural systems that are not only safe, but also constructible and economical. Sarkisian also addresses the influence of nature in design, urging you to integrate structure and architecture for buildings of superior performance, sustainability, and aesthetic excellence.

Performance of the Base-Isolated Christchurch Women's Hospital in the September 4, 2010, Darfield Earthquake and the February 22, 2011, Christchurch Earthquake
Author: Henri P. Gavin, Robert L. Nigbor | Size: 625 KB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: ASCE | Year: 2012 | pages: 10
The Christchurch Women's Hospital, completed in March 2005, is the only base-isolated building in the South Island of New Zealand. The displacement capacity of the base-isolation system and the super-structure ductility capacity are designed to meet 2000-year return-period demands. Detailed structural evaluations after the 2010 Darfield Earthquake and the 2011 Christchurch Earthquake revealed damage only to sacrificial non-structural components at the seismic gaps. Because the structure was not instrumented at the time of these earthquakes, basic design information, ground motion records from nearby sites, and first-hand accounts of the motion in the structure are used to estimate the responses to the main shock and a large after- shock. Results from this modeling effort are used to corroborate reports of structural response from staff present at the time of the main shock and aftershocks. Subsequent instrumentation of the structure is described and will be used to collect aftershock responses for validation of numerical models

Dynamic Testing of Single- and Double-Story Steel-Sheathed Cold-Formed Steel-Framed Shear Walls
Author: Iman Shamim; Jamin DaBreo; and Colin A. Rogers | Size: 2.8 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: ASCE | Year: 2013 | pages: 11
This paper describes an experimental investigation of steel-sheathed cold-formed steel-framed shear walls by means of dynamic shake table tests. The objective was to evaluate the seismic performance and to identify whether the shear-wall behavior was consistent with past static tests, to obtain measures of damping and natural period of vibration, to investigate the influence of a second story, and to validate and improve the accuracy of the numerically predicted force-deformation response. The scope of study comprised five single-story and five double-story walls of the platform framing technique. Each wall was subjected to a suite of excitations: impact test to measure the linear-viscous damping ratio, harmonic excitation to estimate the natural period of vibration, and ground motions representative of the seismic hazard in Canada. An overview is presented of the test setup and dynamic loading protocols, as well as the test results and numerical model.
