Abstract
In the last three decades the structural design of tall steel buildings has undergone significant developments thanks to the use of new steel grades, new types of connections, new codes, new fabrication and construction techniques, and new structural systems. Clear evidence of this was provided by the many presentations and discussions during the workshops and the Third International Conference on Tall Buildings held in Chicago in January, 1986.
