Seismic Analysis of Twin Tower Structures: A Review

Abstract

Since the world's most populous cities are experiencing a land shortage, it is more important to make high-rise buildings, skyscrapers, and twin towers safer and more secure for residence, commercial and other purposes. More research and study is required to make skyscrapers and twin tower high rise buildings safe and secure. New projects and ideas for twin towers and skyscrapers will help reduce the risk of disaster. More unique forms are in trend to show the rich connotation and vitality of buildings. Connected twin tower structures conform to these requirements, and many connected structures in different forms have been or are being built in recent years. It is observed that there are many types of high rise buildings in the world with different shape and sizes. These buildings are mostly designed and analyzed for seismic and wind loads. Therefore it is necessary to take new ideas of construction and research on that so that the chances of seismic and wind failure can be reduced. After reviewing various papers it is necessary to perform seismic analysis.
