Course Overview:
The “Design of Towers and High-Rise Structures” course focuses on the principles and techniques used in the design and construction of towers and tall buildings. With the increasing number of these structures in urban areas, it becomes essential to understand the engineering and architectural factors that influence the stability and performance of these buildings under various conditions. The course aims to equip engineers with the knowledge and skills necessary to design towers and structures that meet safety and quality standards.
Course Objectives:
- Understand the fundamental principles of designing towers and high-rise structures.
- Familiarize participants with modern materials and techniques used in construction.
- Develop skills in structural analysis and assess the dynamic response of tall buildings.
- Study factors influencing stability and balance in tower design.
- Learn about international and local standards for designing high-rise buildings.
Training Content:
- Introduction to the design of towers and high-rise structures.
- Types of towers (e.g., communication towers, residential buildings, office towers).
- Analysis of forces acting on towers (e.g., wind and seismic forces).
- Design methods for foundations of tall structures.
- Use of software tools for structural design and analysis.
- International guidelines and standards for designing high-rise buildings.
- Case studies of successful high-rise structure designs.
- Inspection and testing procedures for structures after construction.
Target Audience:
This course is aimed at architects and structural engineers, civil engineering students, researchers in structural design, and technical managers in construction companies. It is also beneficial for consultants in urban planning and project management, as well as professionals working in the high-rise development sector.
