In the Media: Jajich and Micallef in Tall Buildings Magazine

Have you ever wondered about the engineering mysteries behind the design of tall buildings?

If so, check out “Tall Buildings: What’s the Tall Order,” an informative article in the UK-based Tall Buildings Magazine co-authored by DeSimone’s own experts, Principal Dmitri Jajich, CEng, FIStructE, and Associate Principal Karl Micallef, CEng, FICE.

In the piece, Dmitri and Karl demystify the challenges that drive the design of tall and slender buildings and discuss how safe, economic designs can be achieved while humankind reaches for the sky.

Drawing upon their tall buildings design experience as structural engineers, they explain how to achieve lighter, more cost and material efficient buildings—and how designing for strength and stiffness combats the effect of wind on the structure, making it more stable and resilient. Using language and terms that work for neophytes and seasoned professionals alike, Dmitri and Karl elucidate how structural systems are evolving to accommodate the future demands of tall buildings.
