The document summarizes a course on the design of tall structures. The 16-week course aims to teach students the principles of stability in tall buildings and how to design tall buildings to resist earthquakes and winds. The course outcomes are for students to gain an understanding of design philosophies for high-rise structures, how wind loads affect buildings, different structural systems for tall buildings, and the stability of tall buildings. The course content covers design criteria, wind and earthquake loading, behaviors of structural systems like rigid frames and shear walls, modeling and analysis techniques, and stability analysis of tall buildings.

building as total structural system considering overall integrity and major subsystem interaction,
analysis for member forces, Stability of Tall Buildings: Overall buckling analysis of frames, wall
frames, approximate methods, second order effects of gravity of loading, P-Delta analysis,
