Height Committee
The CTBUH is the arbiter of the criteria upon which tall building height is measured, and thus the title of “The World’s Tallest Building” determined. The Height Committee, composed of prominent international professionals meets regularly to accurately maintain these criteria.

Outriggers Working Group
Outrigger systems have been widely used in super tall buildings constructed since the 1980’s, eclipsing the tubular frame systems previously favored. However, the outrigger system is not listed as a seismic lateral load resisting system in any code, and design guidelines are not available...

|
Wind Engineering Working Group
The main structure of a tall building and its façade must be designed to safely withstand the extreme winds that the building will be subjected to during its expected life. An important part of achieving this is determining what the wind loads will be for specific mean recurrence intervals and what the uncertainties are in these loads.
