Abstract

This paper presents a review of the factors influencing structural integrity in tall buildings. The research focuses on exploring design considerations, material selection, construction techniques, and maintenance strategies to ensure the safety, stability, and sustainability of these structures. Key design considerations discussed include wind loads, seismic design, gravitational load evaluation, and the integration of structural performance with architectural design. The selection of appropriate materials, such as concrete, steel, composite systems, and advanced materials, is also crucial for structural integrity. Additionally, the paper highlights the importance of construction techniques like Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, prefabrication, modular construction, and slip forming in achieving structural efficiency and safety. Finally, the significance of maintenance strategies, including structural health monitoring (SHM) systems, regular inspections, retrofitting techniques, and lifecycle management, is emphasized to ensure the long-term durability and resilience of tall buildings. By addressing these multifaceted aspects, this review aims to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in tall building design and construction practices.
