High-rise Lateral Resisting Systems
High-rise Lateral Resisting Systems
(OP)
Hi All
Can someone prescribe literature for high rise
lateral load resisting systems in terms of analysis
and design?
Kind regards

First of all there are many different systems for hights. https://www.britannica.com/technology/structural-e...
Google maybe your best friend until your figure out the real question

Stiffening the bottom of the building is your friend, minimizing that base rotation has an outsized affect because of the amplified affect way up a the top stories.

We are currently busy with the design of a concrete apartment block
going 17 stories high +/- 50 meters. We have concrete shear walls and
and of course our lift shaft and stair core for lateral stability.
I have run a couple of models but I want to get some proper background especially
on the effects it will have on my slab and more importantly on my foundation inter-action.
I realise it is not that heigh and it is not in a seismic zone. Only lateral loads will be the wind.
Kind regards

It sounds to me as though you may be interested in the backstay effect. If so, check this stuff out:

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
