Then with the application of relational database, the case database of high-rise structures is constructed, the structure form-selection designing methods such as the smart algorithm based on CBR, DM, FINS, NN and GA is presented, and the original forms system of this method and its general structure are given. CBR and DM are used to generate scheme candidates; FINS and NN to evaluate and optimize the scheme performance; GA to create new structure forms. Finally, the application cases are presented, whose results fit in with the real project. It proves by combining and using the expert intelligence, algorithm intelligence and machine intelligence that this method makes good use of not only the engineering project knowledge and expertise but also much deeper knowledge contained in various engineering cases. In other words, it is because the form selection has a strong background support of vast real cases that its results prove more reliable and more acceptable. So the introduction of this method provides an effective approach to improving the quality, efficiency, automatic and smart level of high-rise structures form selection design.展开更多

However, it is precisely because the building height increases, the functions become more complex, and the structural design becomes more and more individual. Therefore, many irregular high-rise buildings keep appearing. Compared with regular buildings, this kind of irregular construction is more prone to structural damage in the event of an earthquake, which puts forward more stringent requirements for designers when designing irregular buildings. Therefore, we analyze and discuss this in detail in this paper.展开更多

As a matter of fact, due to the complexity and particularity of every structure, the great amount of variables and design criteria to considerate and many other factors, a general optimisation’s method is not simple to formulate. As a result, this paper focuses on how to provide a successful optimisation method for a particular building type, high-rise reinforced concrete buildings. The optimization method is based on decomposition of the main structure into substructures: floor system, vertical load resisting system, lateral load resisting system and foundation system;then each of the subsystems using the design criteria established at the building codes is improved. Due to the effect of the superstructure optimisation on the foundation system, vertical and lateral load resisting system is the last to be considered after the improvement of floor. Finally, as a case example, using the method explained in the paper, a 30-story-high high-rise residential building complex is analysed and optimised, achieving good results in terms of structural behaviour and diminishing the overall cost of the structure.展开更多

Therefore, the structural planning of high-rise buildings has become the most concerned problem in the architectural domain. If there is any problem in the structural design, it will endanger the stability of the whole building structure, pose a certain threat to people's safety, and have a great impact on the society. In order to promote the scientific and reasonable design of high-rise building structure, this paper discusses the common problems in the design process, and gives the corresponding solutions, hoping to improve the quality of high-rise building structure design, which has a certain reference value.展开更多

The fire was controlled under control by 13 PM and there were no casualties.With the continuous innovation of social economy, industry, culture and technology, new materials, new trends of thought, new development, as well as the continuous exploration of the contradiction between the increasing urban population, the shortage of land and the urban style, architecture, as the initial "shelter", began to gradually develop vertically. The industrial revolution and its products further acted on the new driving force of science and technology in the vertical dimension. Although high-rise buildings effectively meet the demand value of urban population and the representative value of urban economic appearance, the problem also comes, and the fire problem has become one of the most important prevention and control. For this reason, this paper discusses and analyzes the difficulties of firefighting, fire prevention of structural selection materials, internal structural measures and evacuation design of high-rise buildings for reference.展开更多

The review focuses on bridge and building structures using vibration-based techniques. Structural monitoring systems in Japan historically started with the objective of evaluating structural responses against extreme events. In the development of structural monitoring, monitoring systems and collected data were used to verify design assumptions, update speci cations, and facilitate the ef cacy of vibration control systems. Strategies and case studies on monitoring for the design veri cation of long-span bridges and tall buildings, the performance of seismic isolation systems in building and bridges, the veri cation of structural retro t, the veri cation of structural control systems (passive, semi-active, and active), structural assessment, and damage detec- tion are described. More recently, the application of monitoring systems has been extended to facilitate ef cient operation and effective maintenance through the rationalization of risk and asset management using monitoring data. This paper also summarizes the lessons learned and feedback obtained from case studies on the structural monitoring of bridges and buildings in Japan.展开更多

The study is performed on reinforced concrete and emphasized only on Kuwait city conditions for wind. Regular layout plan building with different heights ranging from five to fifty typical office stories are investigated in this study. Three dimensional finite element techniques through ETABS software are used in conducting analysis for structures presented here-in. A serviceability study is performed to ensure that buildings have sufficient stability to limit lateral drift and peak acceleration within the acceptable range of occupancy comfort. In addition, an ultimate strength study is carried out to design and verify that all the structural elements are designed to withstand factored gravity and lateral loadings in a safe manner according to the international building codes. The building slenderness ratio and the building core size and location are the studied parameters since they are the key drivers for the efficient structural design. Analysis results are presented and discussed and finally conclusions are summarized as guidelines for designers of concrete office buildings in Kuwait.展开更多

Based on the Turkstra criteria, the stochastic characters of wind velocity, earthquake ground acceleration and excitations occurrence probability are taken into account and then the combination of the earthquake effects in structure wind resistant design is analyzed with the convolution approach. The results indicate that as for the tall flexible buildings whose lateral force is governed by wind loading, the maximum lateral loads verification with respect to the wind resistant design combined with earthquake effects may be more unfavorable compared with that in terms of the earthquake resistant design involving wind effects.展开更多

文摘This paper reports the recorded structural responses of four 170 m–320 m tall buildings in China to the mainshock of the M 7.9 Myanmar earthquake on March 28,2025.The buildings are located approximately 1200 km–2000 km away from the epicenter.The following observations are made by preliminary analysis of the data:(1)the base motion of the buildings exhibited significant long-period components in the range of 2 s–10 s;(2)the identified fundamental periods were much larger than the empirical equations in the design codes,suggesting that the empirical equations may be overly conservative;(3)the amplification of floor accelerations was much more significant than code provisions for determining the seismic demands on non-structural elements,possibly attributing to the overly high damping ratios assumed in the design codes;(4)the buildings exhibited large enough equivalent lateral stiffnesses to satisfy the drift limit under frequent earthquakes by the Chinese seismic provisions,and(5)the significant durations of the shaking of the upper floors of the buildings were comparable to those of the base motions.

文摘A model on the earthquake effects combination in wind resistant design of high-rise flexible structures is proposed in accordance with the probability method. Based on the Turkstra criteria, the stochastic characters of wind velocity, earthquake ground acceleration and excitations occurrence probability are taken into account and then the combination of the earthquake effects in structure wind resistant design is analyzed with the convolution approach. The results indicate that as for the tall flexible buildings whose lateral force is governed by wind loading, the maximum lateral loads verification with respect to the wind resistant design combined with earthquake effects may be more unfavorable compared with that in terms of the earthquake resistant design involving wind effects.
