STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF TALL AND SPECIAL BUILDINGS

The Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings provides structural engineers and contractors with a detailed written presentation of innovative structural engineering and construction practices for tall and special buildings. It also presents applied research on new materials or analysis methods that can directly benefit structural engineers involved in the design of tall and special buildings. The editor's policy is to maintain a reasonable balance between papers from design engineers and from research workers so that the Journal will be useful to both groups. The problems in this field and their solutions are international in character and require a knowledge of several traditional disciplines and the Journal will reflect this.The main subject of the Journal is the structural design and construction of tall and special buildings. The basic definition of a tall building, in the context of the Journal audience, is a structure that is equal to or greater than 50 meters (165 feet) in height, or 14 stories or greater. A special building is one with unique architectural or structural characteristics.However, manuscripts dealing with chimneys, water towers, silos, cooling towers, and pools will generally not be considered for review. The journal will present papers on new innovative structural systems, materials and methods of analysis.

高层和特殊建筑的结构设计为结构工程师和承包商提供了高层和特殊建筑的创新结构工程和施工实践的详细书面介绍。本文还介绍了新材料或分析方法的应用研究，这些新材料或分析方法可直接惠及高层和特殊建筑设计中的结构工程师。编辑的政策是在设计工程师和研究人员的论文之间保持合理的平衡，以便这本杂志对两组都有用。这一领域的问题及其解决方案具有国际性，需要对几个传统学科的知识，期刊将对此作出反映。该期刊的主要主题是高层和特殊建筑的结构设计和施工。在期刊读者的语境中，高层建筑的基本定义是高度等于或大于50米（165英尺），或14层或更高的结构。特殊建筑是具有独特建筑或结构特征的建筑。然而，涉及烟囱、水塔、筒仓、冷却塔和水池的手稿一般不会考虑审查。该杂志将发表关于新的创新结构体系、材料和分析方法的论文。
