Abstract
Due to rapid population growth and constraint on land availability, construction sector spread its wings in vertical dimension. As high-rise buildings are stretching toward sky, challenges with structural behavior govern the choice and design of structural system. Lateral load resisting systems popularly in use are moment resisting frames, load bearing structural walls, dual systems, tube system, and moment-resisting frames with outrigger. The intent of the work in this paper is to investigate the performance of outrigger, location optimization, and their efficiency when used in multiple numbers placed at various heights (2/3rd, 1/2th, 1/3rd times the height of building). Models of 30 storey buildings with outrigger and belt truss systems are analyzed for earthquake and wind loads and the lateral drift responses are compared to find the optimum location of outrigger and belt truss systems. The results are interpreted and found that outrigger system can effectively reduce the lateral drift of the building and optimum location of outriggers is found to be at mid-height of building considered along with cap truss.
