Springer Science+Business Media, Dordrecht, 2016, 119 p., ISBN: 978-94-017-7296-9, 978-94-017-7297-6Solid Mechanics and Its Applications 222This book aims at detailed analysis and structural design of high rise buildings with real-life examples. The knowledge of design of high buildings for gravity and seismic loading is highly essential for upcoming engineers to work in the actual field efficiently. The various structural analysis and design aspects for high rise buildings are taught in the undergraduate level but not in full depth. Therefore, the objective of this book is to understand the analysis and design of high rise buildings for gravity and seismic analysis. Since designing for gravity and seismic is usual in the actual field but retrofitting of high rise building is less common, it is highly important for study. In this report, retrofitting techniques are also proposed for high rise buildings taking into account the gravity and seismic loads. The understanding of current software for design is the need of the hour, especially for design structural engineers. Therefore, ETABS was used for analysis of gravity and for earthquake loads. The gravity analysis and design is based on ACI-99 and earthquake analysis is based on UBC-97. Furthermore, FRP retrofitting and fire retrofitting are also discussed in detail by manual approach.Related Reviews
