Abstract

In the present investigation, it is compared between the twisted tower and regular structure. In current investigation considered building height of 20 storied, 40 storied and 60 storied structure, and twisted angles are considered as 1°, 2° and 3° and two plans as symmetric structure and asymmetric for all different heights of building. The symmetric plan consists of number of bays kept 8 along both the direction and bay size kept as 4 m with storey height being 3 m. The asymmetric plan consists of 8 bays along x-direction and 6 bays along y-direction, and bay size kept as 4 m with storey height being 3 m. The building is analysed by considering zone IV by response spectrum method using Etabs 2016 software. The parameters studied are lateral storey displacement, storey drift, base shear, storey stiffness and modal time period. We can conclude that the conventional structure performs better than the twisted structure under the seismic actions.
