Building tall with concrete

This webinar covers key aspects that influence the design of tall reinforced concrete buildings. It discusses differences in design strategies and framing options that pertain to tall buildings as opposed to shorter ones. It also discusses the buildability of the main structural elements and outlines the structural design considerations at key design stages.

This webinar is presented by Dr Marianna Micallef - Structural Engineer at The Concrete Centre and chartered member of the ICE.

Session includes:

• Discussion of the advantages of using reinforced concrete as the main building material for tall buildings
• A highlight of the design strategies that require the input and collaboration of the Design Team
• A list of structural framing options and the heights achieved by each
• A brief overview of considerations for foundations and basements
• A review of how to build concrete cores, slabs and walls
• A summary of design considerations at each design stage.

Intended for:

• Practicing and chartered structural engineers looking to gain an understanding of the key factors that influence the design of tall reinforced concrete buildings
• Structural engineering students wishing to learn about building tall reinforced concrete structures
• Architects wanting to understand how early design decisions affect the efficiency of the structural elements of the tall building.
