Tall building construction has increased rapidly in
Turkey especially in metropolitans such as Istanbul, Ankara, and Bursa. These
buildings are subjected to different kinds of loads during its construction and
service life time. Substantial load types affecting to tall buildings are
gravity loads, seismic and wind loads, and other special loads. Modern
lightweight and high strength materials, new force resisting structural
systems, shock absorption systems, structuring combinations reveals different
solutions to engineers and architects for design and constructing tall
buildings. The aim of this paper is to review structural form, wind and
earthquake loads on tall buildings from the point of structural engineering. At
first, the effect of building form to building aerodynamics is examined. Then
the loads, selection and arrangement of the major structural elements to resist
loading combinations containing gravity, earthquake, and wind loads on tall
buildings are discussed. In addition, the new provisions are reviewed that
given in TBEC-2018, which is the first national code comprised special
regulations for tall buildings in Turkey.
