Static and dynamic behavior of a 42 storey RCC model was examined for earthquake and wind loadings using ETABS software. Parameters of earthquake and wind loading has been defined as per IS 1893 (Part-1):2 and IS 87 (Part-3):1987 respectively. Linear dynamic analysis has been carried out by response spectrum analysis. For the various models generated (one without outrigger and others with outriggers placed at different storey); comparative study has been carried out to observe the change in parameters such as lateral storey displacements, storey drifts and base shear. From the results, it was concluded that provision of outrigger is effective in reducing the displacements and drifts significantly, while base shear of the building showed not much change with the introduction of outriggers. Keywords- Outriggers, response spectrum analysis, lateral displacement, storey drift, ETABS I. INTRODUCTION Mankind had always been fascinated for height and throughout our history; we have constantly sought to metaphorically reach for the stars. From the ancient pyramids to today s modern high rise structures, a civilizations power and wealth has been repeatedly expressed through spectacular and monumental structures. There has been a demonstrated competitiveness that exists in mankind to proclaim to have the tallest building in the world. Today, high rise tall structures are considered the symbol of economic power and leadership. As the buildings have gotten taller and narrower, the structural engineers have been increasingly challenged to meet the imposed drift requirements while minimizing the architectural impact of the structure. In response to this challenge, the profession has proposed a multitude of lateral schemes that are now expressed in tall buildings across the globe. For buildings taller than a certain height, moment resisting frame structures, shear wall structures, braced frame structures, tubular structures etc. may not provide adequate stiffness to resist lateral wind and earthquake loads. In this case the lateral stiffness can be increased by tying the exterior frames and shear core together by outrigger trusses or girders. In recent decades, outrigger structural systems have been widely utilized in tall buildings in order to decrease structure s deformation and increase its resistance in lateral loads. II. OUTRIGGER STRUCTURAL SYSTEM Outriggers are deep and rigid horizontal beams designed to enhance building overturning stiffness and strength by connecting the core shear wall or core braced frame to the distant peripheral column. The basic idea is to make the whole system to act as a single unit in resisting the lateral load. The core may be centrally located with outriggers extending on both sides or the core may be located on one side of the building with outriggers extending to the building column on the other side. Outriggers increase the effective height of the structure. When the outrigger braced structures are subjected to lateral loads, the exterior column and the outrigger battle the rotation of the central core and thus considerably reduce the lateral deflection and base moments, which would have arisen in free core All rights Reserved 421

2 Outriggers can be made of steel trusses or concrete beams or composite construction. Outrigger system can be effectively used for 1 stories height and possibly more. It should be noted that while the outrigger system is very effective in increasing the structures flexural stiffness, it doesn t increase its resistance to shear, which has to be carried mainly by the core. III. Figure 1. Outrigger structural system MODEL SPECIFICATION A 42 storey RCC model has been considered for analysis. The building dimensions are such that the building is intentionally kept slender, which is a requirement for the study. The building plan is symmetrical along both X and Y axis, so as to facilitate the ease in the comparative study of seismic parameters. ETABS v has been used for analysis purpose. 3.1 Geometry of the model Details related to geometry and dimensioning of the structure is discussed here. Table 1. Geometry of the model Model Geometry 1.

The depth of mega-columns is greater than 4 times its width, hence modeled as shear walls. 3.2 Static and dynamic loading Details related to static and dynamic loading are given below.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS The results studied for the 42 storey structure are discussed below. Response spectrum analysis has been carried out. The significant parameters monitored throughout the study were lateral storey displacement, inter-storey drift of the building and base shear. 4.1 Results of the bare frame without any outriggers Load Case Table 7.

Along Y-direction at 16 th floor It should be noted that the building is more slender in Y-direction and hence displacements and drifts are considerably more for the load cases in Y-direction. Inter-storey drift is in control for all the cases as the actual drifts are much below the maximum allowable criteria of.4 times the storey height as given in IS 1893(Part-1):2. The top lateral displacement is in control in all the cases except Wind in Y-direction case ; as the displacement for the WY case is mm and maximum allowed is H/, which comes out to be 338 mm. Since the governing load case is wind in Y-direction for the particular structure under consideration. Hence for the All rights Reserved 4

13 V. CONCLUSION The study assessed the behavior of outrigger braced structure under the influence of earthquake and wind loading from which the following conclusions can be drawn based upon the results shown above: The use of outriggers increases the stiffness of the building and makes it more efficient in resisting the lateral loads. The most critical lateral displacement for wind in y-direction loading was reduced by 38.% and brought under the limit to satisfy the criteria of Displacement < H/. Inter-storey drifts were also considerably reduced. Use of outriggers did not show any significant change in base shear, as the total force acting on the structure does not change with addition of outriggers. Small increment which is seen in base shear is due to the effect of increment in total seismic weight due to the addition of self weight of outriggers. Hence it can be concluded that outriggers are efficient in controlling the displacements, while they do not have noticeable effect on the lateral force acting on the structure. REFERENCES [1] P. N.
