Design and Analysis of Tall and Complex Structures by Feng Fu offers a systematic approach to the challenging tasks involved in designing tall buildings and intricate structures. The book begins with foundational theories and progressively delves into practical applications through detailed chapters on various lateral stability systems, including MRF, shear wall, core, outrigger, bracing, tube system, diagrid system, and mega frame. It also covers design principles and analysis methods for complex and specialized structures such as Tensegrity structures, membrane structures, and offshore structures.
The content is enriched with numerous worked-through examples of renowned projects worldwide, such as the Jeddah Tower, Shanghai Tower, and Petronas Tower. Readers are provided with insights into the latest modeling techniques like BIM and parametric modeling, along with comprehensive explanations of widely used design software including SAP2000, ETABS, ANSYS, and Rhino.
This book serves as an invaluable resource for researchers and designers looking to enhance their understanding and skills in structural engineering. It offers a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical applications, making it a must-read for professionals involved in the field of tall building and complex structure design.
