Dubai, High-Rise Building Design

http://skghoshassociates.com/ For the full recording: http://www.secure.skghoshassociates.com/product/show_group.php?group=60140924v The structural design of high-rise building design is complex, multifaceted and often requires the utilization of high-end analysis and design software tools. Following the philosophy of ‘never run a program without first knowing the answer’, this seminar presents ‘hand tools’ and rules of thumb for estimating the design and behavior of high-rise structures. Diverse structural system types are presented as well as comprehensive hand calculation methods to be able to understand the behavior of a high-rise structure. This practical approach will be convenient for both concept planning and checking the final computer output. A special segment on ‘how to avoid pitfalls’ presents common mistakes in laying out a high-rise structural system that can lead to major problems; this section can be critical in helping ‘getting it right’ the first time. In addition to information on lateral load resisting systems, the viewer will gain knowledge in floor system types, creep and shrinkage behavior/compensation, and an understanding of the intricate human response to the motions of high-rise structures.
