constructionClassification of structural systemsThe bundled tube, which consists of a number of framed tubes joined together for even greater lateral rigidity, begins to be practical at about 75 meters (250 feet). It was the form of the steel structure used for the Sears (now Willis) Tower in Chicago. Beyond…

Welded steel frames form vertical tubes that support one another, providing the rigidity needed to limit lateral sway from wind forces. Furthermore, variations in the height of the individual tubes disrupt air currents, which reduces the stress of the wind on the structure. This system minimizes the amount of…
