Abstract in English
this paper reviews definition of tall buildings, a brief
history of their development which can be broadly classified into
three periods, and the primary factors of their evolution. In
addition to studying their lateral load resisting systems with some
examples of each one, we presented seven major structural
systems each one suit different architectural forms and allows
specific height.
