What is a high-rise building?
“A building whose height creates different
conditions in the design, construction, and use
than those that exist in common buildings of a
certain region and period.”

•
Floor systems account for a major portion of the gravity loads
Selection of the floor system may influence structural behavior
and resistance
Structural use plays a major role in selection of the floor system
– Office buildings
• large simply supported spans
– Residential and hotel buildings
• short continuous spans

Conclusion
Design for Increased Height
• Building weight and cost increase nonlinearly with increasing
height due to lateral loads
• Efficient structural and material systems are needed to reduce
weight and cost
• Wind loads generally govern design for lateral loads for heights
• > 150 m for steel buildings
• > 250 m for concrete buildings
