Many high-rise buildings have been constructed in recent decades, particularly in Western Pacific Rim countries. Some examples of these include the Grand Gateway at Xi Hui & the Tomorrow Square, both in Shanghai, the Xiamen Post & Telecommunication Building in China, the Petronas (twin) Towers in Malaysia & the Shanghai World Financial Center.

More DescriptionMany high-rise buildings have been constructed in recent decades, particularly in Western Pacific Rim countries. Some examples of these include the Grand Gateway at Xi Hui & the Tomorrow Square, both in Shanghai, the Xiamen Post & Telecommunication Building in China, the Petronas (twin) Towers in Malaysia & the Shanghai World Financial Center. The last three are well over 1000 feet in height, with the Petronas Towers measuring 1483 feet tall & the Shanghai World Financial Center standing at 1509 feet tall. While these certainly represent the ultimate challenges in the structural aspects of buildings, challenges remain in the structural aspects of buildings at various height. This volume is a comprehensive treatment of the issues & the advanced techniques involved in building & bridge structures. Numerous illustrative examples of the techniques involved are included.
