A load-bearing wall is a wall that bears a load restingupon it by conducting its weight to a foundation
structure.
Load-bearing walls are one of the earliest forms of
construction.
The materials most often used to construct load-bearing walls in large
buildings are concrete, block, or brick

Depending on the type of building and the number of stories, load-bearing
walls are gauged to the appropriate thickness to carry the weight above them

In housing, load-bearing walls are most common in the light construction method known
as "platform framing", and each load-bearing wall sits on a wall sill plate which is mated
to the lowest base plate. The sills are bolted to the masonry or concrete foundation.

a cavity wall system can be designed to provide both structure and the
enclosing skin.
Building this system consists of constructing a series of single story structures,
one on top of the other.
Combining load bearing cavity walls and precast concrete plank floors canmake for efficient, economical and speedy construction.

Water Tower Place is a large urban, mixed-use development comprising a
758,000 sq ft (70,400 m2) shopping mall and 74 story skyscraperin Chicago,
Illinois, United States. The complex is located at 835 North Michigan Avenue,
along the Magnificent Mile. It is named after the nearby Chicago Water Tower.
It is owned by General Growth Properties

Braced frames are cantilevered vertical trusses resisting laterals
loads primarily through the axial stiffness of the frame members. high ratio of stiffness to material quantity, is recognized for multi-
storey building
Generally regarded as an exclusively steel system
an economical structural form for any height of buildings, up to the
very tallest.
Advantages:-
Girders only participate minimally in the lateral bracing action-Floor framing design is independent of its level in the structure.Can be repetitive up the height of the building with obvious economy indesign and fabrication.

classic solution for a tube uniquely suited to
the qualities and character of structural steel.
Interconnect all exterior columns to form a
rigid box, which can resist lateral shears by
axial
Introducing a minimum number of
diagonals on each faade and making the
diagonal intersect at the same point at the
corner column.
The whole structure is supported by the
five steel columns at the corners of the
building, with the triangular frameworks
transferring the weight of the structure onto
these five columns. It is covered with glasscurtain walls.
While its distinctive look makes it one of
Hong Kong's most identifiable landmarks

The John Hancock Center
One of the most famous buildings of
the structural expressionist style,
X-bracing exterior is actually a hintthat the structure's skin is indeed part
of its 'tubular system'.
This is one of the architectural
techniques which the architects used to
achieve a record height (is the
structure that keeps the building uprightduring wind and earthquake loads
. This X-bracing allows for both
higher performance from tall structures
and the ability to open up the inside
floorplan

Tube-in-Tube structuresThis is a type of framed tube consisting of an outer-
framed tube together
The inner tube may consist of braced
frames.The outer and inner tubes act jointly in resisting both
gravity and lateral
loading in steel-framed buildings.
the outer tube usually plays a
dominant role because of its much greater structural
depth.
The Willis Tower is the tallest building in the United States
and the seventh-tallest freestanding structure in the world.

Structural Developments in Tall Buildings:Current Trends and Future Prospects
Tall building developments have been rapidly increasing worldwide.
Traditionally the function of tall buildings has been as commercial office buildings. Otherusages, such as residential, mixed-use, and hotel tower developments have since rapidly
increased

Future Prospects Development of new technology occurs basedupon necessity, and the technology evolves towards enhancedefficiency. constructing tall buildings in the past and theirevolutionary paths up to the present towards even taller and moreefficient structures to maximize land uses more economically are
within this track.
