Abstract

Following Chap. 3 which primarily focuses on the overall structural performance of supertall buildings, this chapter is developed on the basis of increased demand on seismically resilient tall buildings. It details the structural performance and seismic resilience of typical concrete and steel tall buildings designed based on the Chinese and US codes, using the computational models developed in previous chapters and the new generation performance-based design method.
