Effect of Outrigger Structural System on Highrise Structures, Subjected to Lateral Loads
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 6
Abstract
There are several factors which have made it compulsory for our nation and the world to go for highrise structures and the skyscrapers. One of such factors is rapidly increment in population in urban areas. But it is a big challenge to build a highrise structure as number of aspects to be considered in it are more as compared to lowrise structures such as lateral stability. To deal with the lateral (wind and earthquake) froces acting on a structure, several lateral force resisting systems have been introduced such as the Braced tube, Shear wall frames, Diagrid, Space truss and Outrigger structural system etc. In this paper, the most effective outrigger structural system i.e. conventional outrigger-belt truss is compared with Virtual outrigger System. Also, Concrete and steel are used to carry out the comparative performance of materials for outrigger. Virtual Outrigger while eliminating the disadvantages occurring by Convectional outrigger, has proved itself to be the most effective among all other types of outrigger system, in all aspects.
