Axial Shortening in Tall Buildings

Posted on 2 May 202227 June 2022 by Omotoriogun Victor

This article discusses axial shortening and its causes, how they can be predicted, evaluated and mitigated. It would explain the measures structural engineers and building contractors may employ to counter its effect. It would also make references to the current codes of practices were necessary.

Lateral Stability Systems in Tall Buildings

Posted on 31 January 202230 January 2022 by Omotoriogun Victor

In any tall building, the lateral forces is unarguably the most critical factor. Hence, fundamental to the design of any tall building is the lateral stability system.

Fundamentals of Tall Building Design

Posted on 29 November 202129 November 2021 by Omotoriogun Victor

There is no consensus on a universal definition for tall buildings, even in design and practice, the definition of what should be classified as high-rise, medium and low-rise is ambiguous….
