This article covers the issues of local and general stability of multi-storey buildings and high-rise constructions under emergency loads (explosions, tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes). It provides the differential equations that describe threedimensional translational and three-dimensional rotational oscillations.
Facade glazing is the most effective high technology to envelope the building structures. In addition to magnificent surface appearance, facade glazing helps to visually enlarge the area inside the building, as well as significantly reduce the cost of lighting.

In continuation of the theme of the previous publication, this article provides a brief overview of a number of unique (high-rise and long span) structures and challenges of their design-basis justification, addressing modern methods and tools for numerical simulations developed by JSC Stadyo R&D and REC CM MGSU (Moscow State University of Civil Engineering).
The present article discusses some problems searching of: rational outrigger position in different in number of storeys highrise building structures; rational lacing plan form and its fixing methods with basic structure elements. Gives practical guidelines in designing of outrigger in high-rise building structures.

Modern methodology of numerical simulation of loads and effects, and stress-strain state and stability of high-rise buildings and complexes.
We tend to assume that the pressure in foundations with rectangular footing that are widely spread in construction operations is distributed among ground capacities of some frusta. According to Requirements 5.1.2 of the set of rules 22.13330.2011 on “Foundations of Buildings and Structures” it is necessary to prepare deformation forecasts of the latter and there are only 5 cases (5.1.3) when strength forecasts have to be prepared on top of that.
The article gives examples of high-rise buildings asymmetrical in plan view. It describes proportioning methods of such buildings, basic force and deformation consequences of the asymmetric shape. Recommendations on proportioning and construction of buildings are given as well.
Buildings constructed by MERO have always been in the public eye. From the beginnings, the classical MERO Space Frame System, consisting of members and nodes, MERO went on to hybrid constructions incorporating members, nodes and cables and to a progressive integration of the cladding as a supporting element of the building.
