Abstract
AbstractThe static design of skyscrapers is mostly based on Finite Element calculations of the supporting structure whereas 3d calculations are required to consider the influence of horizontal forces such as wind loads and earthquake, respectively. In addition 2d calculations are performed to determine unfavorable internal force variables of carrying elements such as columns and walls, respectively. Nevertheless the comparison of these calculations of the same building shows differences up to 100 percent depending on the height of the building. To minimize these differences a research project in cooperation with Vienna University of Technology has started.
