Horizontal loads such as earthquake and wind are considered dominant loads for the design of tall buildings. One of the most efficient structural systems in this regard is the tube structural system. Even though such systems have a high resistance when it comes to horizontal loads, the shear lag effect that is characterized by an incomplete and uneven activation of vertical elements may cause a series of problems such as the deformation of internal panels and secondary structural elements, which cumulatively grow with the height of the building. In this paper, the shear lag effect in a typical tube structure will be observed and analyzed on a series of different numerical models. A parametric analysis will be conducted with a great number of variations in the structural elements and building layout, for the purpose of giving recommendations for an optimal design of a tube structural system.

The number of high-rise buildings has greatly increased in Korea, and storey height is a significant component of tall residential buildings due to the limited city area. To reduce storey height, the wide beam has been adopted in some projects in Seoul such as Trump World, Galleria Palace, and Richencia. The joints between the wide beam and the core wall were too narrow to place the reinforcement, however. This paper investigates a newly developed structural system called the innovative, technical, economical, and convenient hybrid system (iTECH system). The iTECH system has an asymmetric steel assembly with web openings, where the top plate is welded on top of inverted structural "tees" whose cut is referred to as a "honeycomb" type. Both sides of the web and the slab are filled with cast-in-place concrete. The shear capacity was experimentally evaluated and verified, with parameters determined by factors that shared the shear strength of the iTECH beam. The steel web, inner concrete panel, and outer concrete panel contributed to the shear strength of the iTECH beam. The shear stirrup did not contribute much to the shear strength, however, and therefore a design equation using the steel web and inner concrete panel was suggested.Key words: composite beam, shear capacity, monotonic test, high-rise building.

Bending Capacity

Wall-slab structural system is a system suitable for use in the field of high-rise building where the main load resisting system is in the form rigidly connected wall slab member. Concrete vertical walls may serve both architecturally partitions and structurally to carry gravity and lateral loading. Moment transfer of joint is an important aspect for proper structurally functioning of wall-slab system. Hence, the main aim of this study is to investigate experimentally the effect of reinforcement details in the wall on bending capacity for support stiffness in wall-slab system for residential project in Malaysia. A total of six wall specimens were tested based on the specification given by the project contractor. Three of this specimens consisted single layer of rebar while another three specimen consisted of double layer of rebar. The size of the wall-slab’s specimens is 1000mm in length (L), 1080mm in width (W), 1000mm in height (H) and 80mm in thickness (T). The average concrete strength was 23.49MPa with Grade 30N/mm2 and the average yield strength of R5 bar was 817MPa. The predicted bending capacity at failure is in the range from 5.36kNm to 7.12kNm, depending on actual concrete cover. The bending capacity at failure for single layered of rebar in wall for specimen 1, 2 and 3 were found to be 3.59kNm, 3.81kNm and 3.15kNm, respectively. The bending capacity at failure for double layered of rebar in wall for specimen 1, 2 and 3 were 5.50kNm, 6.31kNm and 7.00kNm, respectively. The average percentage difference in stiffness of double layered of rebar in wall based on load-deflection curve obtained is in the range from 116.17% to 289.88% higher than single layered of rebar in wall. Based on the experimental results, specimens consisted of double layered of rebar in wall is found to provide higher bending capacity to the joint of wall-slab structural system in the range from 56.25% to 98.86% compared with single layered of rebar in wall.

This report presents studies on the seismic response of high-rise RC buildings in Japan. Data concerning the seismic response of approximately 600 high-rise RC buildings constructed from 1972 to 2015 were collected. Seismic response characteristics were analyzed by focusing on differences in seismic resistant structures, seismic response control structures, and seismic isolation structures. The results indicated that the maximum story drift ratio response under the level 1 study seismic ground motion (R) and the level 2 study seismic ground motion (R) criteria is smaller for seismic isolation structures than that of the seismic resistant structure and seismic response control structures. In addition, focusing on the R-R relationship, the correlation is low in the seismic resistant and seismic response control structures, but is almost linear in the seismic isolation structure. This is because the seismic isolation structure is designed such that the superstructure does not become plastic even with level 2 seismic ground motion.

This paper presents the results of the simulation experiment performed in Lira-SAPR. The purpose of the experiment is modal analysis of various structural schemes of the high-rise reinforced concrete frame under pulsation and earthquake action. Calculations have been made for three series of samples, differing in the stiffness ratio of the frame and diaphragm of the scheme (from 20% to 65.9%), considering seismic rating of 7, 8 and 9 magnitude and subsoils of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd categories of seismic activity. It has been established, that the ratio of stiffness influences the distribution of the modal mass. The acceleration of the cover nodes does not depend on the stiffness ratio – they grow as seismic activity of the site increases. Stiffness ratio influences the total reinforcement requirement. This influence is significant in the range of ratio values from 20.5% to 42.5%. Further increase in the stiffness ratio has little influence on the reinforcement requirement.

Basic Characteristics

with the fast development of Chinese economy, the number of high-rise buildings has climbed rapidly and created major impacts consequently. In consideration of this, it is necessary to discuss the structural design of high-rise buildings as an important issue. In this article, the author analyzes the basic characteristics and main steps of high-rise building's structural design, and elaborates his own understanding of type selection and seismic design thereof. As high-rise buildings in China are increased at geometric rate, their types and functions have become increasingly complicated, and their structural system more diversified. In this process of fast growth, any omission or mistake is very likely to make the entire design more complicated or unsafe. Therefore, structural design of high-rise buildings is a lasting and complicated process, and also the focus and difficulty in architect's design. The author will hereby elaborate his thoughts on the structural design of high-rise buildings.

Proposals for forming various types of bar space structures, which could be used as building structures of different functional purposes are the subjects of this paper. The systems proposed have been developed with the aim of applying them in the design of structural systems for large span covers and high-rise buildings. The essential aims of forming large span cover structures is to obtain systems which would allow building these covers using relatively short bars. In the paper some new configuations of such space structures are presented. The most important factor in the design of the structural system of a tall building is the need to provide a comparatively slender structure with appropriate great rigidity. Some proposals of application of space structures as structures of high-rise buildings are presented in the paper.

Tall buildings, or skyscrapers, are icons of cities, symbols of corporate power, and a mark of national pride. Certain skyscrapers, such as the John Hancock Center and the Sears Tower in Chicago, are also marvels of engineering that have paved the way for ever increasing heights of structural systems. Since the 1960s, a series of new structural systems has been introduced with the objective of achieving economically-competitive and aesthetically-pleasing tall buildings without compromising safety. One of the great structural engineers responsible for the new structural systems was Dr. Fazlur Rahman Khan. This paper provides a biographical sketch of Dr. Khan and discusses some of his innovations pertaining to high-rise buildings. It shows that his contributions led to a new vertical scale for the modern day city.Key words: aesthetics, architecture, innovation, structural system, tall building.
