| Abstract: |
China arguably has one of the best regulatory processes in the world today for validating the designs of tall and complex non-prescriptive building structure designs, thereby assuring their robustness. This paper presents the basic and special requirements of this code / regulation mandated process. While the process often necessitates strenuous analytical and design efforts, it also opens the doors to exciting and robust first principle structural designs. Future trends in approaches to robust structural design are briefly discussed. |
