A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
There is nothing that seems more important in architectural engineering at the present time than a thorough consideration of the lateral forces to which any of the very high modern buildings may be subjected, and a practical and uniform agreement on the proper system of treating the structures to resist such forces. On the question of safe construction for positive vertical dead loading there is substantially no disagreement among engineers, and the proper allowances which it is advisable and wise to consider for superimposed vertical loads on floors in such buildings are generally agreed upon, although it is conceded that such loading may not occur more than once in a decade.
