Review on lateral load resisting system for different geometric shapes of high-rise buildings

Recently there has been an enormous increase in the use of high rise buildings, especially in metro cities. The cities are getting compacted and populated. To address such a problem the effective solution is to grow vertically. But as the structure extends vertically it becomes slender and responsive to lateral loads. The lateral loads are mainly in the form of seismic load & wind load. So, it is essential to protect these buildings from lateral loads. Lateral load resisting systems play a vital role in high rise buildings. As name indicate that lateral load resisting system it reduces lateral loads and make the building safe. The lateral load resisting system effectively controls the excessive drift due to wind and earthquake and thus minimizes the risk of damage to building. This paper presents an overview of research work done regarding the seismic & wind analysis of high rise buildings with different geometric shapes. The summery and research gaps are discussed in this paper.

Keywords- Lateral load resisting system, High-rise buildings, geometric shape.
