Tall Buidings
Tall buildings have fascinated humans from the beginning of
civilization as evidenced by the pyramids of Giza,
Egyp,Ethiopia Axum , China etc
The motivation behind their construction was primarily for
creating monumental rather than human habitats.
By contrast, in now a day contemporary tall buildings are
primarily a response to the demand by commercial activities,
often developed for corporate organizations as prestige
symbols in city centers.
Tall Buidings
Tall buildings have fascinated humans from the The feasibility
of tall buildings has always depended upon the available
materials and the development of the vertical transportation
necessary for moving people up and down the buildings.

Structural Concepts
The adoration that skyscrapers command lies in their apparent
freedom from gravity loads: they do no just stand tall; they do
so effortlessly.
The key idea in conceptualizing such a bewildering and yet
efficient structural system is to think of the building as a beam
cantilevering from the earth.
The laterally directed force generated due to either
wind or seismic action tends both to snap it (shear) and to push
it over (bending). Therefore,a building must have a system to
resist shear as well as bending.

A perfect structural form to resist effects of bending,
shear, and excessive vibration is a system with vertically
continuous elements ideally located at the farthest
extremity from the geometric center of the building.

Summary of Buildings Systems
Design for seismic
Structural design of buildings for seismic loading is primarily
concerned with structural safety during major earthquakes, but
serviceability and the potential for economic loss arealso of
concern. Seismic loading requires an understanding of the
structural behavior under large inelastic, cyclic deformations.
Behavior under this loading is fundamentally different
