Reference Calculation Output
Special analysis and designs for high rise building compared to low rise building
1. Analysis for earthquake loads
When performing structural analysis of high rise building it is must to analyze for
earthquake loads. When you compare low rise building high rise bulding, moment of
initia due to lateral earthquake forces are high and this can be critical during the
earthquake to highrise builds more than lowrise building
2. Analysis for wind forces
The main horizontal load that acts on a high–rise building is wind. The most important
factor in terms of ensuring the stability and comfort of finding a person on the highest or
last floors is the provision of a load-bearing system to resist wind loads. When the
building height increases, wind loads increase, in addition to static ones, aeroelastic
dynamic vibrations occur, the value of which can often dominate. The effect of wind
load on high-rise buildings is of great interest in terms of the resulting aerodynamic
fluctuations, the distribution of wind pressure along the height of a building or structure,
the effect of air flows on nearby buildings, and other aspects
3. Balancing the shear center and centeroid of the building
This analysis is specially conducted in highrise building analysis. This conducted
specially to avoid any Twisting condition of the building and this non twisting can be
achieved by properly placing shear wall to match up the shear center with building
gravity center.
4. Design and construction Shearwalls
Shear walls will resist lateral forces such as wind forces or earthquake forces. So it will
reduce the s`way of the high rise buildng and also recude the moments acting on the
columns.
5. Ductility Detail of Highrise building
The ductility of building structures is to ensure that building have a certain energy
dissipation capacity and deformation to avoid sudden brittle damage in the earthquake
and fierce wind. Therefore this detailing specially carried out in Highrise building
design.

The lateral forces acting on the structure are solely due to wind actions and
Earthquake actions to be checked to design the shear walls and columns.
