STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

High-Rise Structural Design

Structural planning for tall buildings begins with how gravity and lateral loads travel through the building to its foundations.

The engineering challenge

Irregular layouts, lateral movement and changing column arrangements can create difficult structural interfaces.

Applicable project types

  • Residential towers
  • Mixed-use developments
  • Tall commercial buildings

Scope of services

  • Structural system studies
  • Gravity and lateral load assessment
  • Core and floor framing coordination
  • Foundation interface review

Our approach

Review the building geometry and design inputs, compare feasible structural arrangements, and develop the selected scheme with attention to stiffness, continuity and constructability.

Typical deliverables

  • Structural design basis
  • Analysis and design documentation
  • Framing and reinforcement drawings
  • Coordination details

The final scope and deliverables are agreed for each project after reviewing its requirements and available inputs.
