Man has been competing with nature in building marvels that is in comparison with the nature's creation.. some times even beyond nature's wonders.😀 nowadays we see that there are a lot of buildings coming up with each possessing it's own unique feature which makes it a wonder. these are all not easily developed... so much of design restrictions go into the making of these wonders. this thread is dedicated to discussions on such buildings...😀 instead of just making it a thread to post the pictures and stuff i request all CEans to come forward and discuss such projects 😁 thanks -CP

in the interview Mr.Baker had said that an important design aspect was the wind load on the building and how it reacted to the load.
if the wind load is so huge what will be the difference in the design:?: i've still not started taking design loads into considerations and so would like to know how it would change the design of the structure.

also he had mentioned that the foundation design had not changed that much from the shorter buildings. but if the wind loads are much, won't the toppling effect be higher:?: would the piles alone sustain the load? please put in your thoughts guys😀

thanks,

Didn't they do some unique work with the counterbalancers? Can you tell us about that?
