Performance of tube in tube structures: A review

Abstract

In present time due to less availability of land and increasing population so the tall buildings is better as it take less space. Tubular structure is a common feature in tall buildings. Tubular structures include frame tube, braced tube, tube in tube, bundled tube structures. The concept of tubular structure is that the building can be designed to resist lateral loads by designing it like a hollow cantilever perpendicular to the ground. Tube in tube structures are better compared to other tubular systems because it has less storey shear, storey displacement, storey drift. For obtaining better results X Bracings can be used in tube in tube structures. In this study we will see the effect of X Bracing on tube in tube structures by comparing tube in tube structures with and without X bracing.
