Abstract
In construction of high-rise buildings, one of the major and effective factors is the final cost of structure. Due to high volume of materials in such sort of projects, the smallest changes in the type and method of joining between the different structural components of these systems may have substantial impact on the amount of consumed materials and hence the final cost of the project. Structural systems applied in construction of high-rise buildings must be able to transfer the lateral wind force into the earth. One the systems used in construction of high buildings is outrigger system and truss belt. Optimized location of truss belt and shape of architectural plan have crucial effect on structural performance of the system. The aim of this study is to find the appropriate shape for building plan. In this regard, rectangular shaped plans with different width-to-length ratios, similar areas and different number of caps along the height of the building were constructed. After modeling and sample analysis, different parameters such as shear moment, lateral displacement, base shear, relative lateral displacement and …, were compared. Comparison of curves and analysis of obtained results showed that application of rectangular plan with width-to-length ration of 0.64 has better structural performance efficiency. Also, when lateral wind force is applied, application of truss belt resulted in creation of an inflection point in axial force curve of the columns surrounding the central core in the interval between two belts.
