| Abstract |
This research analyzes how the position of openings affects the lateral behavior of reinforced concrete outrigger systems. A schematic design
of a 60-story building was created, focusing on three key parameters: the opening position in the outrigger wall, the size of the opening, and
the outrigger wall thickness. The effects of these factors on lateral behavior, including lateral displacement in top-floor and maximum
principal stress in the outrigger wall, were evaluated. The study found that openings in the outrigger wall can reduce structural performance
under lateral loads. However, when the opening’s location and size are properly chosen, the lateral stiffness required for high-rise buildings
can still be adequately maintained. |
