Key features:
- Covers the essentials of skyscraper design and construction in detail with a focus on learning.
- Covers building modelling parameters and criteria with design reports and computer inputs.
- Includes analysis and notes for foundation layout, loadings and the excavation and lateral support system (ELS).
- Includes more than 250 detailed illustrations of concepts, construction plans and photos from real projects.
- Includes references and appendices for advanced readers.
- Includes more details than most of the similar texts, with practical guidelines based on references from many buildings and foundation projects.
The authors have extensive research and practical experience of buildings and foundation analysis and design in Hong Kong, and have actively served as regional engineering committee members overseeing structural and foundation disciplines.
This book is intended as a primary resource for senior undergraduate and graduate students as well as to engineers and professors in the field of civil engineering and building modeling. A basic knowledge about structural and foundation engineering is required for adequate understanding of the content.
