This course covers the analysis and behaviour of high-rise buildings with different lateral load resisting systems; design of concrete shearwalls and rigid frames; analysis and design of lightframed wood shearwalls and diaphragms; design of masonry shearwalls under lateral loads. Several case studies developed for some worldwide famous high-rise buildings are discussed during the course. Three-dimensional computer modelling of high-rise buildings are covered.
