抗側(cè)向荷載的結(jié)構(gòu)體系[外文翻譯]


若已測(cè)出荷載量達(dá)數(shù)千萬(wàn)磅重，那么在高層建筑設(shè)計(jì)中就沒(méi)有多少可以進(jìn)行極其復(fù)雜的構(gòu)思余地了。確實(shí)，較好的高層建筑普遍具有構(gòu)思簡(jiǎn)單、表現(xiàn)明晰的特點(diǎn)。
這并不是說(shuō)沒(méi)有進(jìn)行宏觀構(gòu)思的余地。實(shí)際上，正是因?yàn)橛辛诉@種宏觀的構(gòu)思，新奇的高層建筑體系才得以發(fā)展，可能更重要的是：幾年以前才出現(xiàn)的一些新概念在今天的技術(shù)中已經(jīng)變得平常了。
