Through the growth of trees, its production sequesters rather than emits carbon dioxide, and thus helps counteract climate change. Fused into mass timber panels, beams, and columns, its relative light weight and great strength make it a competitive choice for building tall, reducing on-site assembly time, construction personnel, and associated costs, while offering the precision that comes with prefabrication. The aesthetic appeal of exposed timber drives psychological and physiological well-being, which can also translate into lease and sale premiums. There are challenges of course, with many national and local fire codes heavily restricting the use of timber in the structure and façades of high-rise buildings. But as more use cases and test results become available, attitudes and codes are adapting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis publication, the outcome of a grant from the USDA Forest Service and Binational Softwood Lumber Council, is a key step forward in increasing understanding of this exciting material.

A new chapter examines “hybrid” outrigger systems that can tune outrigger-truss stiffness, leverage outrigger arms to drive non-linear damping devices, and use yielding materials to absorb seismic energy. Several in-depth project examples illustrate the role of outrigger systems in tall building design and suggest ideas for future applications, demonstrating how the technology continues to advance the efficiency and stability of tall buildings worldwide.

Despite the vast number of skyscrapers erected as symbols of economic strength, relatively little is known about the forces behind their construction. This report employs economic analysis to test several hypotheses about the underlying drivers of skyscraper development, recognizing that China’s distinctive economic system—along with social, political, and symbolic motivations—may shape construction patterns beyond traditional market fundamentals. Using a comprehensive dataset of skyscrapers completed between 1980 and 2014 across 74 Chinese cities, multiple regression models assess the extent to which construction aligns with economic realities versus competitive ambitions among cities. The findings provide strong evidence for the economic logic underpinning China’s unprecedented skyscraper boom and offer a foundation for future research into the critical role of skyscrapers in the country’s urbanization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrincipal Authors: Jason Barr \u0026amp; Jingshu Luo\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2017\u003cbr\u003eType: Soft cover\u003cbr\u003ePages: 64\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 8.5\"W x 11\"H\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-0-939493-55-5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Council on Vertical Urbanism","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47848460845207,"sku":"EDSC","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/7229\/5575\/files\/551.jpg?v=1779915790"},{"product_id":"composite-megacolumns-digital","title":"Composite Megacolumns - DIGITAL","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is a continual need to optimize construction materials and reduce the size of structural elements in high-rise buildings, as minimizing the dimensions of vertical systems without compromising economic feasibility remains a key challenge in tall building design.

This document summarizes a research project on composite megacolumns conducted by CTBUH and the China Academy of Building Research, with support from Magnusson Klemencic Associates and sponsorship from ArcelorMittal. The study defines composite megacolumns as vertical structural systems capable of carrying substantial vertical loads and resisting secondary bending moments from wind and seismic forces, consisting of multiple hot-rolled steel sections with longitudinal rebar and ties embedded in concrete.
