Effect of Superstructure Suffering in Highrise Structures on Seismic Load Analysis

Seismic forces are the most serious and dynamic. Although various approaches to make the building safe by minimizing natural period, increasing damping etc. are practiced, most common intervention for non-engineered building is strengthening by various measures. In order to investigate the feasibility of superstructure stiffening for highrise buildings, analytical study is carried out for buildings of above ten storey high. The idea of superstructure stiffening is explored to enhance the effectiveness of this range of buildings to withstand the seismic forces and wind forces.
