high rise building guide
anyone have any recommendations on a design guide or text book dealing with the design of high rise buildings? i am not necessarily looking for a material-specific book, but will gladly check those out, too.
thanks.
check out our whitepaper library.
gaylord and gaylord have a structural design handbook (try googling for it) that has a section in the back on high-rise fundamentals.
if you are looking for non-technical material for planning purposes, rather than "hard-core" structural, here is an example from a site that may be of help
hi ml13,
there are two very good books, try it in your local library.
they are :
1.-tall building structures - analysis and design - by bryan stafford smith and alex coull
2.- multi-storey buildings in steel by hart, henn and sontag
for concrete buildings there is a chapter in the handbook of concrete engineering , by mark fintel.
