New High-rise Building Systems in the World's Contemporary Construction
Arman Atasoy, Amir Haghjou
Pages: 38-47

Abstract

Structure and architecture are two inseparable categories. Structure has such a place in architecture that it both gives existence and preserves form. Architects define and separate structures based on their physical form and morphology. Basically, buildings cannot be categorized by height or number of floors. The height itself is relative, and the height of a building depends on the individual's social circumstances and perceptions of the environment. From an engineering point of view, a structure can be called tall when its height causes significant side effects due to wind and earthquake. Construction of tall buildings began with the goal of defense and then took on symbolic and practical aspects. The growth and development of new high-rise buildings began in the 1980s with commercial and residential use. Therefore, the present text intends to introduce and differentiate the structural systems used in tall buildings based on the descriptive characteristics of the structural systems of high-rise buildings, the characteristics and criteria of each in the distribution of forces.
