COURSE SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

High – rise buildings (Towers) investment projects represent a component of the country's economic power & a sign of advantage. Many countries have sought to achieve their progress by encouraging comprehensive plans to establish high-rise investment projects to prove their economic power & prestige. Such cities as (Hong Kong, Malaysia, UAE, Qatar, others). Where financing such projects is an essential element for its success. Large & varying investments are directed after the preparation of severe feasibility studies to ensure that such projects achieve the target gain at the investors' state & economic level. Such studies are made through accurately studying the planning, architectural, financial, and marketing aspects. This is done under specific laws & regulations governing all investment stages with appropriate guarantees to promote investors & capitals. This short lecture will give an insight into the future of tall buildings in the progressing world and its impacts on job prospects, particularly for young graduates.

This course will cover the top in Challenges in High-Rise Buildings Design and Construction, such as:

  • Lightweight Structures.
  • Wind And Earthquake Resistant Design.
  • Geotechnical Investigations.
