SLENDER CONCRETE STRUCTURES - THE NEW EDGE

The special problems associated with tall concrete structures are reviewed and shown to be mangifified in tall and slender buildings. The need for open panoramic views to accommodate the occupants of these slender structures penalizes the the construction economy and tasks the engineer to provide adequate serviceability, while considering the perception of motion to be a prime design parameter. Possible solutions to these problems are introduced. Case studies of 3 slender structures with 10-to-1 aspect ratios are reviewed.
