Curve B represents the average steel weight if the frame is protected from all lateral loads. The gap between the upper boundary and the lower boundary represents the premium fo

In order to tie the exterior columns of a frame structure to the interior vertical trussesa system of rigid belt trusses at mid-height and at the top of the building may be used. A good example of this system is the FirstWis

The maximum efficiency of the total structure of a tall building, for both strength and stiffnessto resist wind load can be achieved only if all column element can be connected to each other in such a way that the entire building acts as a hollow tu

This particular structural system was probably used for the first time in the 43-story reinforced concrete DeWitt Chestnut Apartment Building in Chicago. The most significant use of this system is in the twin structural steel towers of the 110-story W
11、orldTradeCenter building in New YorkColumn-diagonal truss tube. The exterior columns of a building can be spaced reasonably far apart and yet be made to work together as a tube by connecting them with diagonal members interesting at the centre line of the columns and beams. This simple yet extremely
12、 efficient system was used for the first time on the John Hancock Centre in Chicago, using as much steel as is normally needed for a traditional 40-story building.Bundled tubeWith the continuing need for larger and taller buildings, the framed tube or the column-diagonal truss tube may be used in a
13、bundled form to create larger tube envelopes while maintaining high efficiency. The 110-story Sears Roebuck Headquarters Building in Chicago has nine tube bundled at the base of the building in three rows. Some of these individual tubes terminate at different heights of the building, demonstrating t

The tube structural system was developed for improving the resistance to lateral forces (wind and earthquake) and the c
15、ontrol of drift (lateral building movement ) in high-rise building. The stressed-skin tube takes the tube system a step further. The development of the stressed-skin tube utilizes the faade of the building as a structural element which acts with the framed tube, thus providing an efficient way of re
16、sisting lateral loads in high-rise buildings, and resulting in cost-effective column-free interior space with a high ratio of net to gross floor area.Because of the contribution of the stressed-skin faade, the framed members of the tube require less mass, and are thus lighter and less expensive. All the typical columns and spandrel beams are standard rolled shapesminimizing the use and cost of special built-up members. The dept
