ABOUT THE BOOK

                      Structural Analysis and Design of Tall Buildings - Steel and Composite Construction written by Bungale S. Taranath, Ph.D., P.E., S.E., Corporate Consultant, DeSimone Consulting Engineers Las Vegas, Nevada is published by CRC Press. 

                      Using conceptual thinking and basic strength of material concepts as foundations, the book attempts to show how to use imperfect information to estimate the answer to much larger and complex design problems. To do so requires a certain intuitive feel for numbers as well as an appreciation of the fact that the “right answer” in this context is only of an order of magnitude of a more precise computer solution, but good enough to put us on the right track. The whole idea is to break seemingly intractable problems down to more manageable pieces that can be quickly approximated. The emphasis in this book is on steel and composite building systems.

This book integrates the design aspects of steel and composite buildings within a single text. This book will serve as a comprehensive design guide and reference for practicing engineers and educators, and, more importantly, as a welcome mat for recent graduates entering the structural engineering profession by assuring them that they have discovered an exciting world of challenges and opportunities.
