Abstract:

One of the distinguished features of the complex-shaped tall buildings adopting the braced tube system is the twisted angle of their bracings.The seismic responses of the complex-shaped tall buildings are examined as the planar twisted angle of the diagonal members varies. Six of sixty story building models with different angle conditions and different seismic loading conditions are assumed.In a high seismicity area, it is found that the angle of twist is an important factor that affects the base shear and story drifts.
