Direct Analysis Method Case Study — Addressing Stability for the Russia Tower

Halvorson, Robert A. / Warner, Carrie / Lang, Alex

The 600 m (1968 ft) tall Russia Tower has an extremely efficient and intuitively clear structural concept. But its unique form raised a number of key structural challenges to be addressed — all related to stability. The following paper outlines Halvorson and Partners' approach to these: applying stability concepts from 2005 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC, 2005), including the newly introduced Direct Analysis Method (DM), as well as material secondary affects for concrete from ACI to assess, analyze, and design for stability in this complex, composite structure — the Russia Tower.
