Comparative analysis of Wall Belt Systems, Shear Core Outrigger Systems and Truss Belt Systems on Residential Apartment

Abstract

Abstract: The outrigger structural system is one of the horizontal load resisting systems. In this system the belt truss ties all the external columns on the periphery of the structure and the outriggers connect these belt trusses to the central core of the structure thus restraining the exterior columns from rotation. The shear wall was implemented to oppose lateral loads. To complete these characteristic the Outrigger & wall belt system used in the structure. In this project a G+10 Storey structure has analysed using seven different cases named as RA1 to RA7-OTB. 1 to 7 indicates single outrigger system, shear core outrigger system truss belt support system with optimized trusses, at various locations under seismic zone III. The built up area used for various case as 315 sq. m. After performing result analysis, the comparative analysis of all the cases shows that the most efficient case for the above study is Case RA4. Here for efficiency of the project, two types of optimized truss belt support which has performed well and observed as most optimized and correspondingly minimum in all the cases.
