Features: Steel structures offer advantages such as high load-bearing capacity, small cross-sectional dimensions, and light total weight, making them suitable for constructing high-rise buildings. Compared to reinforced concrete structures, they possess greater toughness, ductility, deformation capacity, and energy absorption capacity, making them the preferred structural type for high-rise buildings in seismic zones. Steel-reinforced concrete composite structures are a recently developed type of high-rise building, combining the benefits of both steel and reinforced concrete structures, achieving excellent economic results. This book focuses on these two types of high-rise buildings, providing structural systems and engineering examples suitable for different heights and various conditions, analyzing their references. According to the latest 2002 edition of the relevant structural and technical codes, it presents the calculation steps and formulas for wind and seismic resistance design, as well as general and seismic design requirements and strength checks for components such as beams, columns, bracing members, and wall panels and their connections.
