ARE 6591 - Design of Tall Buildings3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course presents advanced topics in design of steel, concrete and composite tall buildings subjected to various types of gravity and lateral loads. Topics include effects of gravity and lateral loads on structures, structural dynamics of tall buildings, structural systems for tall buildings, analysis and design of tall buildings subjected to wind and seismic loads, serviceability considerations in tall buildings, and performance-based design. (prereq: CAE 3511, CAE 3521, CAE 3561) (quarter system prereq: AE 3211, AE 3221, AE 3231) (coreq: CAE 5511 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Use content learned in prior courses and apply the concepts to tall buildings
- Evaluate design aspects and analysis methods for tall buildings
- Devise efficient schemes for resisting gravity loads in tall buildings
- Devise efficient schemes for resisting lateral loads in tall buildings
- Compare and contrast various types of vertical and lateral load resisting systems that are commonly used in tall building design
