1. High-rise
Buildings – Design Example of a 110-storey Building
In order to meet the need of urban planning, the present trend in
Indian urban cities is to construct ultra high- rise buildings.
Construction of a 60-storey building is in progress at Mumbai. The
time is not very far when much taller buildings will be built in
India. This is a professional book as an attempt to fulfill the
present need of students and consultants in the field of design of
such high-rise buildings. The topics in the book cover design
considerations and principles, loads, structural systems and fire
hazards for such tall buildings. Design example of a 110-storey
building is given as an illustration with Staadpro input listing for
various load cases.
The publication is
available in form of a CD with facility to independently open any
topic of interest to the user. The CD contains 201 pages of A4 size.
Price of the CD is Rs. 400/- inclusive of postage charges within
India.
Topics covered in the publication are briefly given below:
Chapter 1: High-rise introduction.
Chapter 2: ‘Design principles’ and ‘Design considerations’ of
high-rise planning.
Chapter 3: Loads and load – effects on high-rise buildings
due to static, wind, seismic and thermal loads.
Chapter 4: High-rise structural systems – Frame, shear wall,
tube, both in concrete and steel
Structural systems adopted in some high-rise buildings are
illustrated.
Chapter 5: Design example of a 110-storey building. Sears
Tower at Chicago is taken as an illustration. The bundled tube
structure (in structural steel) is analysed on Staadpro programme.
The input listings for various load cases are given. The structure
is analysed on the basis of relevant Indian and American codes.
Results from the computer output are given along with observations
on important aspects of design.
Chapter 6: Fire-distress / failure of steel framed
structures. A case study of the collapse of the WTC 7 (in the World
Trade Centre complex at New York, which was destroyed on September
11, 2001) building due to fire is given

‘Design of Cement Plant Structures’
This book serves as a single reference on process flow, case
studies and design examples of unusual structures. It contains
design examples of kiln foundation and a Ring silo.
“This book is indeed of great value as a reference document in
the design offices involved in Cement Plant Structures as well
as offices of Cement Manufacturers. It would also be useful to
engineering students and academicians.” (Book review, The
Indian Concrete Journal, June 1998, pp 296).
Price of the book is Rs. 250/-, plus Rs 100/ courier charges
within India.

3.
‘Advanced Structural Design – CAD Examples’
This book presents practical structural design examples of
some of the uncommon structures. The structures included are:
•4-Segment Cement Silo, 10,000- tonne total capacity
•31.7-m diameter suspended floor supported on structural steel
frame work for an Assembly Hall
•200-MW Turbo Generator Foundation
•Space truss roof on an office atrium entrance lobby
•223-m tall TV Tower
“At the end of each chapter, the author has presented STAAD
input data file which is very handy for the designer. The
author, like his earlier book on cement plant structures, has
presented yet another useful contribution for design engineers
and practicing structural consultants. The book would be of
great value to consulting civil engineers.” (Book review, The
Indian Concrete Journal, August 2002, pp 510).
Price of the book is Rs. 350/-, plus Rs 100/ courier charges.
