Steel structures involve structural steel members designed to carry loads and provide rigidity. They are commonly used in high-rise buildings, industrial buildings, warehouses, and temporary structures due to their strength, light weight, and speed of construction. Advantages include quick construction, flexibility, and ability to take various shapes. Disadvantages are reduced strength at high temperatures and susceptibility to corrosion. Common structural steel frames include beam and column construction, trusses, space frames, shear wall frames, framed tube structures, and braced frames. Design must consider both gravity loads like dead and live loads, as well as lateral loads from wind and earthquakes.
The document discusses tensile structures, which are buildings that rely on tension in components like cables and fabrics to bear loads. Tensile structures include boundary tensioned membranes, pneumatic structures, and pre-stressed cable nets. They have been used historically in structures like yurts and the Colosseum roof. Tensile structures take saddle, mast-supported, arch-supported, and combination forms. Key components are membranes, bale rings, plates, and specialized hardware. Advantages include long lifecycles, reusability, recyclability, and unique designs, while disadvantages include lack of rigidity and danger if tension is lost.

What is a Slab?
Slabs are the one of the most widely used structural elements whose depth is considerably smaller than rest of the dimensions. Basically slabs are used as roofs and floors in buildings, roof and bottom on water tanks, on bridges etc.
Slabs support and transfer load i.e. Dead load and live load, to columns by shear, flexure, and torsion. Slabs also help in reducing the effects of lateral wind loads and earthquake loads.
What is One Way Slab?
One way slabs are the slabs in which most of the loads are carried on the shorter span. The ratio of longer span to shorter span is equal to or greater than two or when the slab is supported by beams only along two opposite sides slab then the slab behaves as a One-way slab.
What is Two Way Slab?
Two-way slabs are the slabs in which loads are carried on both of the spans. The ratio of longer span to shorter span is less than two and when the slab is supported by beams along all the sides then the slab behaves as a two-way slab.

Load analysis and structural considerationBee Key Verma
The document discusses various types of loads that act on buildings including dead loads, live loads, wind loads, seismic loads, and temperature loads. It also describes different structural systems for high-rise buildings that efficiently transfer loads, such as braced frames, shear walls, core and outrigger systems, bundled tubes, and diagrid systems. Basements are discussed as providing additional space in buildings for parking or other functions.
Arch is a curved structure designed to carry loads across a gap mainly by compression. The mechanical principle of the arch is precisely the same as that of the portal frame. The straight pieces of material joined by sharp bends are smoothed into a continuous curve. This increases the cost of construction but greatly reduces the stresses.

Flat slabs are reinforced concrete slabs that are supported directly by columns without beams. They provide minimum depth, fast construction, and flexible column placement. There are four main types: slabs without drops and with column heads, slabs with drops and without column heads, slabs with both drops and column heads, and typical flat slabs. Column heads increase shear strength while drops increase shear strength and negative moment capacity. Flat slab systems can be either one-way or two-way depending on span ratios and load distribution. Advantages include simple formwork, no beams, and minimum depth, while disadvantages include potential interference from drops.
This document provides information about space frames, cable structures, and folded plate structures. It defines a space frame as a truss-like, lightweight rigid structure constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern. Space frames can span large areas with few interior supports. Folded plates are assemblies of flat plates rigidly connected along their edges to form a structural system without additional beams. Cable structures derive their strength from tension forces in the cables rather than from bending or compression. Common cable structures include suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges, and cable-supported roofs.
Structural systems in high-rise buildings have evolved over three generations from the late 18th century to present. Early systems used stone, brick, cast iron and wood. Later systems in the 1850-1940 period used steel frames with concrete. Modern systems from 1940 on use steel cores, outriggers, tube designs, diagrids, and superframes to resist gravity and lateral wind loads. Definitions of high-rise vary but are generally above 35 meters. Drivers for tall buildings include land scarcity, demand for space, and prestige. Innovators like Fazlur Rahman Khan pioneered new efficient systems. Future trends may include taller megatalls over 600 meters using new composite systems and materials.
A tensile structure is a construction where load bearing capacity is achieved through tension stress in components like cables, fabrics, or foils. Tension structures include boundary tensioned membranes, pneumatic structures, and pre-stressed cable nets and beams. Tensile membrane structures are often used as roofs as they can economically span large distances. Common types include saddle roofs supported by high and low points, mast-supported structures with fabric attached to interior masts, and structures stabilized by cables in tension like suspension bridges. Tensile structures provide benefits like unique designs, natural lighting, low maintenance, and cost efficiency.
This document provides details on the design and construction of flat slab structures. It discusses the benefits of flat slabs such as flexibility in layout, reduced building height and faster construction. Key considerations for design include wall and column placement, structural layout optimization, deflection checks, crack control and punching shear. Analysis involves dividing the slab into strips and determining moment and shear distributions. Reinforcement is arranged in two directions and detailing includes reinforcement lapping and service penetrations.
Shells can be classified in several ways, including by the material used and thickness. Thin concrete shells are lightweight structures made of reinforced concrete without internal supports. Common thin concrete shell types include barrel shells, folded plates, hyperbolic paraboloids, domes, and translation shells. Barrel shells carry loads longitudinally and transversally, while domes provide a strong, stiff structure with double curvature. Thin concrete shells offer wide open interior spaces but require sealing and ventilation to prevent moisture issues.
Diagrid Systems : Future of Tall buildings, Technical Paper by Jagmohan Garg ...Jagmohan Garg

Finally, it outlines different high-rise structural systems such as braced frames, shear walls, tube structures, and their advantages.
This document discusses the stability of high-rise buildings. It defines high-rise buildings and describes their structural systems, which must withstand both vertical gravity loads and lateral loads from wind and earthquakes. Stability becomes more important with increasing building height. Factors that affect stability include seismic forces at the base and wind loads higher up. The document outlines methods to stabilize structures against wind loads, noting wind speed increases with height and causes both static and dynamic effects that structures must withstand.
Shell structures- advanced building constructionShweta Modi
This document discusses different types of shell structures used in construction.

A tensile structure carries only tension and no compression or bending forces. It uses a fabric material stretched over a framework to provide stability. Tension roofs are loaded only in tension with no resistance to compression or bending. Tensile structures have environmental benefits like longer lifecycles, reusability, and recyclability with less construction debris. They provide flexible design aesthetics, translucency, durability, lightweight construction, and cost benefits from reduced energy usage. Common types include free-standing, mast-supported, and arch-supported structures.
This presentation discusses prefabricated building components. It covers prefabrication systems including large panel systems, frame systems, and slab-column systems.

Specific component types like floor slabs, waffle slabs, wall panels, and shear walls are explained in more detail. Architectural and structural design aspects of using prefabricated components are also addressed.
The document describes ferrocement roofs. Ferrocement roofs consist of ferrocement panels that are joined monolithically without nuts and bolts. They are connected to ferrocement purlins and portals through welding and cement. Ferrocement roofs transfer less heat than metal roofs and provide more storage space below since they do not require steel trusses. Ferrocement roofs are superior to metal roofs as they are jointless, transfer less heat, prevent humidity transfer, require less maintenance and have a longer lifespan. The document provides examples of ferrocement usage and goals of developing sustainable ferrocement construction.
Tensile structures and Pneumatic StructuresGeeva Chandana
Tensile structures gain their load-bearing capacity through tension stress in components like cables, fabrics, or foils. They are commonly subdivided into boundary tensioned membranes, pneumatic structures, and pre-stressed cable nets and beams. Tensile structures use thin fabrics stretched over frameworks of cables to create surfaces capable of withstanding forces. Common types include membrane and mesh tensioned structures and pneumatic structures.

This document discusses different types of reinforced concrete slabs, including one-way slabs, two-way slabs, flat slabs, and ribbed slabs. One-way slabs are supported on two sides and bend in one direction, while two-way slabs are supported on all four sides and bend in both directions. Flat slabs do not have beams and loads are transferred directly to columns, providing a plain ceiling. Ribbed slabs contain reinforced concrete ribs spaced no more than 1 meter apart between which the slab spans.
This document provides information about arches, including their definition, functions, elements, and technical terms. It describes different types of arches classified by shape (flat, segmental, semicircular, horseshoe, pointed, and Venetian) and material/workmanship (stone rubble/ashlar, brick rough/axed/gauged/purpose made, and concrete precast/monolithic). The construction process of arches involves three steps - installing centering or formwork, laying/casting the arch, and then striking or removing the centering after the arch gains strength.
The document discusses different types of dome structures including geodesic domes, ribbed domes, and braced rib domes. A geodesic dome is a sphere-like structure composed of a network of triangular components that gives it strength using minimal materials. Ribbed domes consist of identical radial components connected at the crown and base, while braced rib domes add intermediate bracing between the ribs. Examples provided of structures that use dome designs include the Montreal Biosphere, Epcot Center, and the Eden Project.

This presentation is about the structural systems in tall buildings and also consists of overview of methods of analysis in tall buildings like linear and non linear seismic analysis.
Framed structures are building skeleton frameworks formed by columns and beams. There are two main types: in-situ reinforced concrete frames and prefabricated frames. Rectangular framed structures use columns and beams arranged at right angles to support floors, walls, and roofs. They are commonly used for multi-story buildings like offices, schools, and hospitals. Framed structures provide large open floor plans and are adaptable to different shapes. Earthquake-resistant features in framed structures include shear walls, moment-resisting frames, and braced structures which resist lateral forces during seismic activity.
The document discusses high rise buildings and their structures. It defines high rise buildings as between 35-100 meters tall or 12-39 floors. Buildings over 100m are called skyscrapers and over 600m are mega-tall. High rises are constructed to address land scarcity in urban areas and increasing demand for space. Their structures have evolved from early stone and iron frames to steel skeleton frames to reinforced concrete shear walls and core structures. Foundations must transfer enormous loads into the ground through methods like raft or pile foundations. Interior structures use rigid frames, shear walls, and exterior structures employ tube systems to resist lateral wind and seismic loads.
Flat slabs are reinforced concrete slabs that are supported directly by columns without beams. They provide minimum depth, fast construction, and flexible column placement. There are four main types: slabs without drops and with column heads, slabs with drops and without column heads, slabs with both drops and column heads, and typical flat slabs.

Final presentation by Akramul masum from southeast university bangladesh.Integrated Design
This document provides information about a study on the analysis and design of high-rise buildings. It defines what constitutes a high-rise building and explores the various factors driving demand for them. It examines the history of tall buildings and provides a chart showing increases in building heights over time. It also discusses structural systems and loads, including gravity, lateral and special loads. Core functions, parking considerations and case studies of high-rise projects are presented.
- Shear walls are used in rigid frame construction to provide lateral rigidity. They resist both horizontal and vertical loads through the entire material of the wall.
- Shear walls are composed of braced panels or shear panels to counter lateral loads from wind and earthquakes. For tall skyscrapers, the size of the supporting walls increases with the size of the structure.
- Tubular structures provide lateral resistance through very stiff moment-resistant frames that form a perimeter tube around the building. This system allows for gravity loads to be shared between the tube and interior columns.
What are the types of structural steel framingnajeeb muhamed
Different types of structural steel framing systems for buildings such as skeleton, wall bearing and long span framing systems and their applications and configurations are discussed.
Portal frames are single storey steel structures that provide large open floor plans. They consist of vertical columns connected by horizontal beams and rafters to form the frame, without interior columns. This allows for unobstructed floor spaces useful for industrial, warehouse and commercial buildings. Portal frames can be made of steel, concrete or timber, with steel being most common due to its strength, light weight and ease of construction.
Taipei 101 is a 508-meter tall skyscraper in Taipei, Taiwan. It was the tallest building in the world from 2004 to 2010. The tower has 101 floors above ground and 5 floors underground. It was designed to withstand typhoons and earthquakes common in the area. The building uses a tube-in-tube structural system with a reinforced concrete core and steel perimeter columns. Outrigger trusses connect the core columns to the perimeter columns every eight floors to provide increased stability and resistance to strong winds.

Structural loads on tall buildings include dead loads, live loads, and environmental loads from seismic activity, wind, and temperature changes. Tall buildings must have structural systems to effectively distribute these loads and resist lateral forces. Common structural typologies include interior moment frames, shear walls, outrigger systems, and exterior tube, diagrid, and bundled tube systems which use closely spaced columns and beams to act as a rigid perimeter wall. The structural forms vary based on the building material (concrete or steel) and optimize the building's ability to transfer loads vertically and resist lateral loads like wind and seismic forces.
The document summarizes various reinforced concrete structural elements used in building construction, including:
1. Columns, beams, slabs, staircases, lintels, chhajjas (eaves), canopies, and coffer slabs are discussed. Columns transfer loads from above to the foundation. Beams provide horizontal load resistance and resist bending. Slabs are floor and ceiling elements supported by columns and beams.
2. Staircases can be made of reinforced concrete and come in different arrangements like straight flights or landings. Lintels support walls above openings. Chhajjas project from walls to provide shade. Canopies provide shelter from weather. Coffer slabs have sunken, decorated
The document discusses space frames, which are lightweight truss-like structures constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern. Space frames span large areas with few interior supports by transmitting loads through tension and compression along struts. They were developed in the early 1900s and came into wider use in the 1950s. Space frames are used for roofs, floors, and other structures requiring large clear spans. They offer advantages of light weight, prefabrication allowing low-cost construction, and versatility of shapes. Double-layer grids provide increased stiffness over single-layer designs.

The document provides an overview of different structural systems used in high-rise buildings, including framed tube structures, belt truss systems, bundled tube systems, tube-in-tube systems, and diagrid systems. It also discusses various construction materials, foundations, and construction methods for high-rise buildings such as slip forming, climb forming, jump forming, and tunnel forming. The structural systems allow for wider column spacing to provide large interior spaces while effectively resisting wind and seismic loads.
1) Shear walls are vertical elements that carry lateral loads like wind and seismic forces from the building down to the foundation, forming a box structure for support.
2) Shear walls should be placed on all levels of the building, including the basement, and symmetrically on all four exterior walls to form an effective structure. Interior walls can add strength when exterior walls are not sufficient.
3) Common types of shear walls include reinforced concrete, plywood, steel plate, and hollow concrete block masonry walls. Proper design and ductility improve shear wall performance during seismic events.
Space frames are rigid, lightweight structures constructed from interlocking struts arranged in geometric patterns. They can span large areas with few interior supports due to their inherent rigidity from triangular formations that transmit loads as tension and compression. Folded plate structures are assemblies of rigidly connected flat plates that can carry loads without interior beams. They were first used in 1923 for an aircraft hangar roof in Paris and take inspiration from structures in nature like tree leaves. Cable structures have cables as their primary load-bearing elements and are often used in bridges and roofs to transmit loads between supports.
The document discusses different tube structural systems used in tall buildings. It begins by introducing Fazlur Rahman Khan who first introduced the tube structural system. It then describes different types of tube systems including framed tube, tube-in-tube, bundled tube, and braced tube systems. For each system it provides details on the concept, behavior under loads, advantages and examples of buildings that use each system. The document also provides a table comparing the different tube systems based on material, configuration, efficient height limit, advantages and disadvantages.
2. WHAT ARE STEEL STRUCTURES
• A structure which is made from
organised combination of structural
STEEL members designed to carry
loads and provide adequate rigidity
• Steel structures involve a sub-
structure or members in a building
made from structural steel.
3. WHERE STEEL FRAME STRUCTURES ARE
USED
Steel construction is most often used in -
• High rise buildings because of its strength, low weight, and speed of construction
• Industrial buildings because of its ability to create large span spaces at low cost
• Warehouse buildings for the same reason
• Residential buildings in a technique called light gauge steel construction
• Temporary Structures as these are quick to set up and remove
4. ADVANTAGES OF STEEL STRUCTURES
• Steel structures have the following advantages:
They are super-quick to build at site, as a lot of work can be pre-fabbed at the factory.
• They are flexible, which makes them very good at resisting dynamic (changing) forces
such as wind or earthquake forces.
• A wide range of ready-made structural sections are available, such as I, C, and angle
sections
• They can be made to take any kind of shape, and clad with any type of material
• A wide range of joining methods is available, such as bolting, welding, and riveting
5. DISADVANTAGES OF STEEL STRUCTURES
Steel structures have the following disadvantages:
• They lose strength at high temperatures, and are susceptible to fire.
• They are prone to corrosion in humid or marine environments.
• Heavy and lengthy, not easy to handle
• Deflect under loads
7. BEAM AND COLUMN CONSTRUCTION FRAME
• This is often called as “skeleton
construction”. The floor slabs, partitions,
exterior walls etc. are all supported by a
framework of steel beams and columns.
This type of skeleton structure can be
erected easily leading to very tall
buildings.
• Generally columns used in the
framework are hot-rolled I-sections or
concrete encased steel columns. They
give unobstructed access for beam
connections through either the flange or
the web. Where the loading
requirements exceed the capacity of
available section, additional plates are
welded to the section
8. LONG SPAN BEAMS
• The layout of floor beams in buildings depends
largely on the spacing of the columns. The
columns along the perimeter of the building are
generally spaced at 5 to 8 m in order to support
the façade elements. In most buildings, the
secondary beams are designed to span the longer
distance in the floor grid, so that the bending
moment they resist is similar to that of the
primary beams and therefore they can be of the
same depth as the primary beams.
• In many buildings, designing longer internal
spans creates more flexible space planning. A
variety of structural steel systems may be used
to provide either long-span primary beams or
secondary beams. These long-span
systems generally use the principles
of composite construction to increase their
stiffness and strength, and often provide
for integration of services within their depth via
openings in the webs of the beams.
9. TRUSSES
• Trusses and lattice girders are used in long
span roofing and flooring systems. The term
‘truss’ is generally applied to roofs, which may
be pitched, whereas lattice girders are
generally used as long-span floor
beams which are more heavily loaded and not
pitched.
• Trusses and lattice girders are often designed
to be visible and therefore the choice of the
members used and their connections is
important to the design solution.
• Trusses and lattice girders are triangular or
rectangular assemblies of tension and
compression elements. The top and bottom
chords provide the compression and tension
resistance to overall bending, and the inclined
bracing elements resist the shear forces.
10. SPACE FRAMES
• A ‘space’ frame is a form of construction that covers large areas
using assemblies of small structural components that are
connected at pre-formed nodes. They are three-dimensional
assemblies that generally consist of tension and compression
elements, connected by inclined bracing. Circular hollow
sections (CHS) are generally used in space frames as their wall
thickness can be varied to suit the forces in the members while
maintaining a constant outside diameter. There are three
generic forms of support to space frames that determine the
forces to which they are subject:
• Point support by columns at four or more positions
• Multiple supports by rows of columns or ‘column trees’.
• Continuous edge support.
• An example of the multiple point supports to a double layer
space frame over a pedestrian street in Belfast’s Victoria
Centre
11. SHEAR WALL FRAMES
• The lateral loads are assumed to be concentrated
at the floor levels. The rigid floors spread these
forces to the columns or walls in the building.
Lateral forces are particularly large in case of
tall buildings or when seismic forces are
considered. Specially designed, reinforced
concrete walls parallel to the directions of load
are used to resist a large part of the lateral loads
caused by wind or earthquakes by acting as deep
cantilever beams fixed at foundation. These
elements are called as shear walls.
• . The advantages of shear walls are (i) they are
very rigid in their own plane and hence are
effective in limiting deflections and (ii) they act
as fire compartment walls
• Generally reinforced concrete walls possess
sufficient strength and stiffness to resist the
lateral loading. Shear walls have lesser ductility
and may not meet the energy required under
severe earthquake. A typical framed structure
braced with core wall is shown
12. FRAMED TUBE STRUCTURES
• The framed tube is one of the most
significant modern developments in
high-rise structural form. The frames
consist of closely spaced columns, 2 - 4
m between centres, joined by deep
girders. The idea is to create a tube
that will act like a continuous,
perforated chimney or stack.
• The lateral resistance of framed tube
structures is provided by very stiff
moment resisting frames that form a
tube around the perimeter of the
building.
13. TUBE IN TUBE FRAME
• This is a type of framed tube consisting
of an outer-framed tube together with
an internal elevator and service core.
• The inner tube may consist of braced
frames. The outer and inner tubes act
jointly in resisting both gravity and
lateral loading in steel-framed
buildings. However, the outer tube
usually plays a dominant role because
of its much greater structural depth.
This type of structures is also called as
Hull (Outer tube) and Core (Inner
tube) structures.
14. BRACED FRAMES
• The majority of structural systems used in office construction
are braced by one of two methods;
• Steel bracing, generally in the form of cross-flat plates or hollow
sections that are located in the façade walls, or in internal separating
walls, or around service areas and stairs.
• Concrete or steel plated cores that enclose the stairs and lifts, service
risers, toilets etc.
• The choice of this system depends on the form and scale of the
buildings. In most buildings up to 6 storeys high, steel bracing is
preferred, although its location is strongly influenced by the layout of
the building. V or K bracing using tubular sections is often preferred as
it is more compact and can be arranged around windows and doors in
some cases. X flat bracing is preferred for use in brickwork as it can be
located in the cavity between the leaves of the brickwork.
• For taller buildings, concrete cores are more efficient and they can
either be constructed floor by floor using conventional formwork, or slip-
formed continuously. The relative economics is dictated by speed of
construction, and slip forming is often used on tall buildings. Steel
plated or composite cores are also used where there is need to minimise
the space occupied by the core and where it can be constructed in
parallel with the steel framework.
• The structural design of the steel frame is therefore based on the use of
simple shear resisting connections for both the beam to column and
beam to beam connections.
15. CONTINOUS FRAMES
• Continuous frames achieve continuity of
the beams either by design of the steel structure so
that they are multi-span, or by use of moment-
resisting connections.
• In the Palestra building, the primary beams were
arranged in pairs either side of the tubular
columns, and the beams were continuous across the
building, being spliced only at the quarter span
positions from the internal columns where bending
moment were low. In that way, the beams are stiffer
due to their continuity than the equivalent simply
supported beam and so that depth can be reduced. A
view of the building during construction is shown.
• In buildings up to four storeys in height, it may be
economic to design the steel structure as a sway
frame to resist lateral loads applied to the building.
The connections between the beams and
the columns are made moment-resisting by use of
extended end plate connections. The columns may
be heavier than in simply supported design, but
the beams can be lighter, and bracing is eliminated.
This may be advantageous in low-rise buildings
with highly glazed facades.
17. GRAVITY LOADS
• Dead loads due the weight of every element within the
structure and live loads that are acting on the structure
when in service constitute gravity loads. The dead loads
are calculated from the member sizes and estimated
material densities. Live loads prescribed by codes are
empirical and conservative based on experience and
accepted practice.
• Reduction in imposed load may be made in designing
columns, load bearing walls etc., if there is no specific
load like plant or machinery on the floor. This is allowed
to account for improbability of total loading being
applied over larger areas. The supporting of the roof of
the multi-storeyed building is designed for 100% of
uniformly distributed load; further reductions of 10%
for each successive floor down to a minimum of 50% of
uniformly distributed load is done. The live load at floor
level can be reduced in the design of beams, girders or
trusses by 5% for each 50m2 area supported, subject to
a maximum reduction of 25%. In case the reduced load
of a lower floor is less than the reduced load of an upper
floor, then the reduced load of the upper floor should be
adopted in the lower floor also.
18. WIND LOADS
• The wind loading is the most
important factor that determines the
design of tall buildings over 10 storeys,
where storey height approximately lies
between 2.7 – 3.0 m. Buildings of up to
10 storeys, designed for gravity loading
can accommodate wind loading
without any additional steel for lateral
system. Usually, buildings taller than
10 storeys would generally require
additional steel for lateral system. This
is due to the fact that wind loading on
a tall building acts over a very large
building surface, with greater intensity
at the greater heights and with a
larger moment arm about the base.
19. SEISMIC LOADS
• Seismic motion consists of horizontal
and vertical ground motions, with the
vertical motion usually having a much
smaller magnitude. Further, factor of
safety provided against gravity loads
usually can accommodate additional
forces due to vertical acceleration due
to earthquakes. So, the horizontal
motion of the ground causes the most
significant effect on the structure by
shaking the foundation back and forth.
The mass of building resists this
motion by setting up inertia forces
throughout the structure.
20. INFERENCE
Loading on tall buildings is different from low-rise buildings in many ways such as large
accumulation of gravity loads on the floors from top to bottom, increased significance of wind loading
and greater importance of dynamic effects. Thus, multi-storeyed structures need correct assessment
of loads for safe and economical design. Excepting dead loads, the assessment of loads can not be
done accurately. Live loads can be anticipated approximately from a combination of experience and
the previous field observations. But, wind and earthquake loads are random in nature. It is difficult
to predict them exactly. These are estimated based on probabilistic approach.
