Belt trusses have become one of the defining structural systems in modern high-rise engineering because they significantly enhance the lateral behaviour of tall buildings without requiring excessive increases in member sizes.

The fundamental principle behind the tube structural system is the concentration of structural strength and stiffness along the building’s perimeter. The rapid development of tall…
This article explores the three most significant systems used in tall buildings: moment-resisting frames, shear walls, and tubular structures.

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.

A structure does not only transfer gravitational forces to the ground, it must do so for several other lateral forces applied . The components that…
