Key Points

To outline the structural engineering principles, framing techniques, and lateral load-resisting strategies employed in the undulating zig-zag architecture of the M City Phase 1 and 2 high-rise towers.
Structural engineering design evaluation of non-vertical tower profiles and eccentric floor plate configurations.
Modeling of load path transfers, lateral stiffness mechanisms, and wind resistance systems for complex tower geometries.
Continuous concrete core walls and strategically positioned support columns maintain overall lateral stability against torsional forces.
Framing and slab transfer designs effectively distribute gravity and environmental wind loads introduced by shifting exterior angles.
