Review of Seismic Assessment for High Rise Building Isolated by Dilatation to Minimize Irregularity

Abstract

Noticeably, the design of today’s building particularly high rise building and skyscraper show irregularity in both horizontal and vertical direction which is dangerous for each element inside the building. Handily, certain disjoint can be applied to the building to minimize the irregularity for better desired behaviour. Dilatation is a well-known method together with several other methods are introduced and implemented for gaining principal of simple regular building. Double column and cantilever beam method are two of them which are excellent to divide the building into several regular buildings after they are applied. The double column is found out to perform better on dilatation direction application at the weak axis of the building. Moreover, accurate review of double column distance will solve the load transfer discontinuity so that better behaviour and performance can be satisfied. Hereinafter, the cantilever beam conducts perfectly when the shear wall is sufficiently installed and the cantilever beam span is contently fulfilled. Shear wall remarkably contributes to enhancing the behaviour and performance of the structure as the shear wall placement is proper to absorb seismic lateral force. Recommendation of both systems can be well performed once the column distance, cantilever span, and shear wall installation are strongly taken into consideration.
