This project aims to analyze the structural design of high-rise concrete buildings in Pakistan through a case study. As tall buildings are a new development in Pakistan, additional research is needed to accurately model and analyze structures before construction. The student, Sami Mukhtar, will evaluate different modeling methods for tall buildings and compare their results against international building codes to determine the most accurate approach for designing high-rise structures to withstand wind and seismic loads.

(Student) Abstract: Trend of tall buildings is new in Pakistan so research knowledge is very limited. Due to this reason a precise analysis of tall buildings is necessary to check the working efficiency of the structure before construction. The main motive of this project was discussion and evaluation of different ways of modelling the structure of tall buildings. It deliberated the basic requirements of International Building Codes (IBC), Uniform Building Codes (UBC), and American Standard Codes (ASC) for analysis of tall buildings. And then by comparing the results of these Codes it concluded which method is more veracious for design purposes of tall buildings to accomplish the best structural performance especially with regards to wind and seismic loading.
