DESCRIPTION:Bill Price is a director of WSP Cantor Seinuk and a structural
  engineer\nby background. The talk will cover the design of high rise buil
 dings and\nexplain why it is special. The form of construction in the UK h
 as\ngathered pace in recent years and many regional cities as well as Lond
 on\nhave seen tall structures become part of the landscape. The London WSP
 \noffice works closely with the New York WSP office and this exchange of\n
 ideas and expertise keeps the engineering up to international standards.\n
 Bill will describe the key engineering issues for high rise design\ninclud
 ing core design\, lateral movement\, dynamics\, foundations\, special\nmat
 erials and overall stability. In addition Bill will comment on fire\nsafet
 y\, security and sustainability as these factors impact on the\nengineerin
 g solutions for economic and efficient structures.
