MODES OF DEFLECTION OF TALL BUILDINGS
There are two modes of deflection of tall buildings which are discussed below. The taller a building is, the greater the problem is of lateral and torsional stiffness. The deflection of a cantilever is a function of the loading, the ...
CANTILEVER ANALOGY FOR TALL BUILDINGS
Cantilever Analogy for Tall Buildings: In many ways a tall building can be analogous to a cantilever. As we know, a cantilever undergoes bending and shear forces when subjected to a load. A similar effect occurs in tall buildings. If ...
PROBLEMS IN DESIGNING A TALL BUILDING
Problems in Designing A tall Building Tall buildings are extremely good ways of maximizing the space available. When the purchase of land is expensive, i.e. in major cities like London, New York or Mumbai, tall buildings provide a solution to ...
