Structural Systems to resist lateral loads
Commonly Used structural Systems
With loads measured in tens of thousands kips, there is little room in the design of high-rise buildings for excessively complex thoughts. Indeed, the better high-rise buildings carry the universal traits of simplicity of thought and clarity of expression.
It does not follow that there is no room for grand thoughts. Indeed, it is with such grand thoughts that the new family of high-rise buildings has evolved. Perhaps more important, the new concepts of but a few years ago have become commonplace in today’ s technology.
Omitting some concepts that are related strictly to the materials of construction, the most commonly used structural systems used in high-rise buildings can be categorized as follows:
抗側(cè)向荷載的結(jié)構(gòu)體系
常用的結(jié)構(gòu)體系
若已測(cè)出荷載量達(dá)數(shù)千萬磅重，那么在高層建筑設(shè)計(jì)中就沒有多少可以進(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)。
這并不是說沒有進(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。
如果忽略一些與建筑材料密切相關(guān)的概念不談，高層建筑里最為常用的結(jié)構(gòu)體系便可分為如下幾類：
