Tall Building Design (eBook, ePUB)

Steel, Concrete, and Composite Systems

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the behavior of structural members and systems to aid in the structural design of tall buildings in conjunction with the latest building codes. These code provisions are subject to change periodically. Familiarity with current methodologies is essential to designing structures that comply with legally adapted standards in a safe, economic, and efficient manner. However, the first nine chapters explain the fundamental principles of structural engineering in such a manner as to be entirely independent of code regulations.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Bungale S. Taranath, PhD, PE, SE, had extensive experience in the design of concrete, steel, and composite tall buildings. He was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Concrete Institute, as well as a registered structural and professional engineer in several states. The author of a number of published papers on torsion analysis and multistory construction projects, Dr. Taranath published five books, three of which were translated into Chinese and Korean and are widely referenced throughout Asia. He also conducted seminars on tall building design in the United States, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico, India, and England.
