Abstract:

This paper reviews the issue of stability of tall structures and the influencing factors. Depending upon location and type of tall structures, magnitude and direction of forces induced, ground conditions, presence of adjacent structures, appropriate stabilization techniques are required to be adopted. Length, diameter, inclination etc. of piles plays important role as far as local and global stability of the tall structures is concerned. This review paper will help the designers to carefully select these parameters and provide stable foundation for the tall structures.

Keywords:

foundation, tall structure, pile foundation, shear wall, global stability, pile centre, micropiles.
