Steel Structures for High-Rise Buildings: Engineering Marvels of Modern Architecture
Author(s): Ventura Carlo*
High-rise buildings have become iconic symbols of modern cities around the world. These towering structures challenge engineers and architects
to create innovative solutions that combine functionality, aesthetics and structural integrity. Steel, with its exceptional strength and flexibility, has
emerged as the material of choice for constructing high-rise buildings. This article explores the engineering marvels of steel structures in high-rise
buildings and highlights their key advantages and contributions to modern architecture. Steel possesses a remarkable strength-to-weight ratio,
making it an ideal material for high-rise buildings. The high tensile strength of steel allows for the construction of tall structures that can withstand
significant vertical and lateral loads. Compared to traditional construction materials, such as concrete, steel structures offer sup.. Read More»
