Features: This book is written according to the new codes and standards such as the Load Code for the Design of Building Structures, Code for Seismic Design of Buildings, Code for Design of Concrete Structures, Technical Specification for Concrete Structures of Tall Buildings, and Technical Specification for Steel Structures of High-rise Civil Buildings. The book systematically elaborates on the structural systems and layout of high-rise buildings, the loads on high-rise building structures, the design requirements for high-rise building structures, as well as the characteristics, layout, and analysis and calculation methods of frame structures, shear wall structures, frame-shear wall structures, tube structures, and high-rise steel structures. Detailed explanations are also provided on high-rise building wind resistance, seismic resistance, design, and structural section design. The book includes some examples and a moderate number of review questions and exercises. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students majoring in civil engineering and is also suitable for reference by structural designers, construction personnel, and researchers.
