Abstract

Even though the gravity loads are the primary loading on a building, as the building height increases, it will be exposed to the lateral loads due to wind and earthquakes. Hence, the building must be designed to have sufficient stiffness and strength in order to resist the lateral loadings. In order to limit the lateral displacement, additional structural materials will be required for tall buildings, and to achieve economy it is always desirable to use an appropriate structural system. In this paper, three-dimensional structural systems are studied and compared using six different building heights. The parameters such as lateral displacement, inter storey drifts, time period and base shear are compared between these systems with respect to the height. From the study, it has been observed that outrigger structural systems are not only proficient in controlling the top displacements but also play a substantial role in reducing the inter storey drifts.
