MODERN CIVIL ENGINEERING TECHINIQUE FOR TALL STRUCTURES.

Abstract: In 21st century with the help of developing technologies civil engineering structure are challenging limits which were just a dreams. With innovative ideas these challenges were tackled economically and effectively. For typical tall building challenges due to wind earthquakes are very common but simple solutions inspired from nature work effectively against them. This report presents an overview and a summary of such innovative and simple approach towards these challenges with example of Taiwan’s Taipei 101 tower and provides comparison of existing techniques and modification/use of those in tall rise structure.
