Structural Performance Comparison of Structural Systems Using LIRA and ETABS

This paper investigates a comparison of structural systems of high rise (96m of 30 stories) buildings subjected to gravity load and wind load of speed 90mph. Three structural systems, Moment frame system, Shear wall system, and Tube-in-Tube system of identical base area and loadings are structurally designed, in ETABS and LIRA software. Linear wind response analysis was carried out as per ASCE 7-05. Parameters like fundamental time period, Maximum story displacement, Maximum column axial load and Vertical floor displacement are considered in this study. As per the findings, the maximum story displacement is found to be within the allowable limiting value. Tube-in-Tube system shows a better performance from the other systems for minimizing the story displacement. The modal time period, vertical displacement and Maximum column axial load values are also minimum in Tube -in-tube system. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2023.
