Material Optimization for Tall Buildings

Several practical tools for the characterization of the optimal layout of material in a structure have been developed in recent years based on both numerical and analytical approaches. The focus of this paper is to describe some of these methodologies and illustrate with examples their application to high-rise buildings and long span structure design.
