"On the Harmony of Theory and Practice in the Design of Tall Buildings"
Abstract:
William F. Baker is a Structural Engineering Partner for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, LLP. Throughout his career, Bill has dedicated himself to the advancement of structural engineering. His best known contributions have been to tall building design including the development of the “buttressed core” structural system for the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest manmade structure. His expertise also extends to long-span roof structures, as well as specialty structures like Broadgate-Exchange House and the GM Renaissance Center-North Lobby. Baker has also collaborated with numerous artists, including Jamie Carpenter (Raspberry Island-Schubert Club Band Shell), Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle (Gravity is a Force to be Reckoned With), James Turrell (Roden Crater), and Jaume Plensa (World Voices).
In addition to working at SOM, Bill is actively involved with numerous professional organizations and institutions of higher learning. He has received honorary doctorates in engineering from the University of Stuttgart, Heriot-Watt University, and the Illinois Institute of Technology; an Outstanding Projects And Leaders (OPAL) Lifetime Award for Design from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE); and the Fazlur Rahman Khan medal from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH). Bill was also the first American to receive the Fritz Leonhardt Preis (Germany) and is one of only three living Americans to receive the Gold Medal from the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE). He is a Fellow of both the ASCE and the IStructE, a member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), and an International Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. He has had academic appointments at the Illinois Institute of Technology; University of Illinois at Urbana, Northwestern University, and the University of Cambridge. Bill frequently lectures on a variety of structural engineering topics within the U.S. and abroad.

Truly enjoyed this lecture. worth watching one more time .
Thank you all for this lecture.
This man is legend
Baker is a role-model for engineers
Yes absolutely right
Such a good lecture! I am watching it 3rd time already

What an excellent presentation!!!!!!!!!!!
Architects are born to make structural engineer's job complicated.... :D :D
I hate architects 4 that 😡😡
good engineers can deal with complex ideas from the arcitects if they work together
Amazing lecture
very useful presentation.
33:20 Maxwell in audience on mid-right.
Really liked
Which university is this ?
Can anyone explain how 4 legged chair has larger load in the leg compared to 3 legged chair?
Its a question of whether the load is actually distributed according to the design. A 4 legged stool can easily be in a situation where two of the legs are taking most of the load, especially on an uneven floor surface. Think about how easy it can be to rock back and forth and feel weight shift between two of the legs. That means two legs are carrying most of the load, and the third leg is only taking the load needed to stabilise the chair, while the fourth leg might not be doing anything at all. A 3 legged stool is only stable if all three legs touch the ground, and thus the load is always evenly spread.

Okay... I guess
jorg schlaich
Hufffff
Couldn’t get through 5 mins of this!
“My theory… My theory… My theory… My theory…”
