Structural Engineering: Skyscrapers Sergio F. Breña STEM Education Institute Saturday Workshop September 30, 2006 University of Massachusetts Amherst
Skyscraper Design Process • The challenge: provide increased office space in urban environments • Research/brainstorm – Constraint: expensive real estate (limited floor plan) – Other successful applications? – Materials available locally? – What are known structural solutions that have worked well before? • Design alternative(s) • Testing/validation of design (particularly for cases where experience is limited) University of Massachusetts Amherst
Evolution of Skyscrapers • Skyscraper construction was largely due to: – Need for large office space in crowded downtown areas – Creation of an Icon for companies or individuals • The name of numerous skyscrapers comes from the company occupying the building University of Massachusetts Amherst
Evolution of Skyscrapers • Skyscraper development was possible because of: – Development of Stronger Materials • Steel and concrete replaced stone and masonry – Invention of Elevator – Development of more efficient structural systems University of Massachusetts Amherst
Stability of Buildings Sinking (Settlement) Sliding University of Massachusetts Amherst Overturning
Lateral Deformation of Tall Buildings Lateral loads drive design of tall buildings Even if stable, buildings still deform Top Displacement (Drift) Wind Pressure Wind Drift < H/500 Example: H H = 1, 400 ft (WTC) Wind Drift = 2. 8 ft University of Massachusetts Amherst
