Analysis of Wind Load in a 15-Storey Building Using Various Lateral Load Resisting Techniques: A Review

Abstract

Traditionally, outrigger and belt truss additions are used to strengthen the rigidity of tall buildings with central cores in order to control displacements. At the top of the structure, a single level outrigger can efficiently reinforce a building. The lateral stiffness of each outrigger level rises, although not as much as that of the top level. The primary lateral force-resisting elements of high-rise building structures are shear walls. Higher-performance shear walls are necessary because to the ever-increasing building code requirements and the rising height of high-rise and super high-rise structures. The conventional reinforced concrete shear wall is not very ductile, has a limited capacity to dissipate energy, and is not very deformable. Specifically, the base of a typical shear wall is particularly vulnerable to earthquake damage and is highly challenging to restore. In high-rise and super high-rise buildings, steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) and steel plate reinforced concrete composite shear walls (SPCSWs) are frequently used in place of regular reinforced concrete shear walls or shaped steel reinforced concrete composite shear walls to improve the seismic performance of building structures. Numerous structural methods seem to be able to withstand lateral stresses brought on by earthquakes, blasts, and wind. The more crucial it is to choose the optimal structural arrangement to counteract opposing horizontal loads. Keywords— High-rise structure, Outrigger, Shearwall, Damper etc.
