Staged‐construction analysis (SCA) has recently become a noticeable trend for estimating
the design forces and deformations for high‐rise buildings (HRBs). SCA is a nonlinear step …

This paper reports a systematic experimental investigation into the stochastic nonlinearities
inherent in reinforced concrete (RC) frames. A series of specimen tests is conducted with a …

Shoring successive floors is at present the most frequently used technique when
constructing reinforced concrete (RC) building structures. This technique allows the recently …

This paper presents the assessment of the time-dependent behavior and the prediction of
the long-term deflection of concrete beams prestressed with internal unbonded carbon fiber …

Maximum lateral displacement (LAT) and differential axial shortening (DAS) are important
criteria to be considered in the design of tall buildings. Outrigger (OR) systems have proven …

Summary Ping‐An Finance Center (PAFC) in Shenzhen, with a structural height of 597 m
and a total height of 660 m, is currently the second tallest building in the world and the tallest …

An analysis method with lumped construction sequences for the column shortening of tall
buildings is proposed and its efficiency is investigated. The lumped model shows results that …

Installation sequence of outrigger system, an important structural component of high-rise
buildings, is often determined simply based on engineers' experience, posing a threat to the …

This paper compares the axial shortening behaviors of reinforced concrete (RC) and
concrete-filled tube (CFT) columns in high-rise building structures and proposes a …

Estimating axial loads on columns and structural walls at tall buildings is a complicated task
because time‐dependent deformations of concrete and the way the building is constructed …
