INTEGRATED ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BUILDINGS

Introduction. Several factors have significantly contributed to the continued development of high-rise building in last few decades. They are primarily the development of high strength materials, new design concepts and methods, introduction of new structural systems, improved construction method and the affordability of modern efficient computing tools.

A Tall Building can be defined as one whose structural design is governed primarily by the lateral load resisting systems. Because of the dynamic nature of the lateral loads and for 3D analysis simplified 2D analyses method and tools are not sufficient for the realistic prediction of the response of such systems that demand the 3D analysis. This seminar is intended to provide practical knowledge of different structural systems and their behavior at global to component levels, mathematical modeling, interpretations of the results and the design and detailing.

Objectives.
* To provide consolidated theoretical background and practical knowledge on the computer aided modeling, analysis and design of buildings in 3-D
* To demonstrate the effective usage of modern graphical computing tools for modeling, analysis and design of various building structural systems and their components
