Abstract

The purpose of research is to analysis reinforced concrete tall buildings affected by wind loads. A tower, ground floor plus 19 story, the structural system comprises of three systems which the first one is ordinary shear walls as lateral force resisting system the second one is the rigid frame system and the third one will be combine between shear and rigid frame; the research will compare the structural behavior of three systems individually according to the horizontal and vertical loads which are wind load, live and dead loads.

The three models will be analyzed using finite element based programs (ETABS), and (SAFE). ASCE Lateral forces resulting from wind (Directional procedure) will be manually calculated, and the results will be compared to (ETABS) for check,

stability criteria and story shear resulting from wind will be compared between three systems according to:

  • Maximum displacements and inter-story drifts of the three systems.
  • P-delta effects.
  • Comparison of Story Shear from Manual Calculation and ETABS Analysis.
  • Shear and moments of elements.
  • base shear and overturning moment.
  • Foundation bearing capacity and Settlement.
