Structural Systems for High-Rises

The document discusses the structural concept of a building using a core wall system. A central shear core made of interconnected walls forms a rigid box structure that resists lateral loads from wind and seismic forces. Reinforced concrete cores increase stability by functioning as a vertical cantilever. The core walls connect to a steel perimeter frame and suspended columns to support the building and transfer all gravity and lateral loads.
