The structural check of high rise building design

Abstract

Some years ago a paper describing the operations of the High-Rise Building Committee of Japan was presented to both Auckland and Wellington Branches of the Earthquake Group
 of the Consultants’ Division. Subsequently, the Group referred the paper to the N.Z. National Committee on Earthquake Engineering and to the N.Z. Society for Earthquake Engineering with a recommendation that these bodies take the initiative in setting up a similar high-rise building committee in
New Zealand.
