While dead loads are directly<br/>9 dependent from the selection of structural materials to a given structural function, live and<br/>10 accidental loads are often linked to the region where the structure must perform. In a complete<br/>11 opposition to engineering principles in ancient Egypt, the Inverted Pyramid was designed to<br/>12 become a statement of how to bend gravitational laws, and what can be achieved by modern<br/>13 engineering, sill with intelligence to fulfill its function in a region where engineering structures<br/>14 are subjected to extreme live and accidental load regimes, e.g. high risk of earthquakes and high<br/>15 wind seasonal loads. A hybrid structural concept was specified, comprising lightweight structural<br/>16 wall elements anchored to a relatively heavyweight structural core. The suggested design concept<br/>17 fulfills the global equilibrium equation defined by architecture, and should become a structural<br/>18 example from a structural design perspective. As any other project involving non-comprehensive<br/>19 geometry, design and construction of the inverted pyramid is highly sensible to management<br/>20 options, which shall assure high precision manufacturing, and accurate control of its production.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"/><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Structural Design, Complex Structures, Inverted Geometry, Construction, Economics</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">No Funding for this Publication.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Please see References in the main document</mixed-citation></ref></ref-list></back></article>
