Abstract

This chapter introduces the classical methods as well as the modern computational approach for tall building analysis. The structural behaviour of basic structural elements as well as sub-systems and joints are discussed in detail. The second-order effect with respect to large deformation which is important for steel structures is also discussed in this chapter. The materials in this chapter can greatly enhance the application of computer programs for the analysis of complicated tall buildings.
