Abstract

Tall buildings are among the most energy consuming types of 
buildings because they drain large amounts of building and 
construction materials. At a time when the world tends to seek to 
reduce energy consumption and preserve natural resources to 
achieve sustainability. The architect and constructor must take 
into account the reduction of these quantities and deal with the 
modern data available. Although the structural structure is one of 
the most important elements in high-rise buildings, the 
integration between it and the concept of sustainability still does 
not take its right to application. And then the research found that 
the analysis of this point may lead to the positive integration 
between the structural structure and sustainability.
He highlighted the extent of the contribution and effectiveness of 
the structural structure to achieving sustainability in tall 
buildings, in light of resource depletion, environmental 
deterioration and the increase in construction rates for this type 
of buildings whose nature imposes the consumption of huge 
amounts of resources and energies. This is done through some 
points that affect the performance of the structural structure 
through which it can supporting the dimensions of sustainability 
in tall buildings.
