PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF COST PARAMETERS OF A HIGH-RISE BUILDING: BRACED SHEAR WALL CORE SYSTEM

In the framework of the current work, a design proposal for a high-rise building is investigated. This design proposal for the structural system of the high-rise building is the type of a braced shear wall core system. First, a preliminary design for the design proposal in question takes place. Afterwards, a parametrical cost analysis of the building's structural system takes place based on the member sections derived from the final detailed design of the building. Finally, based on the aforementioned preliminary design and the parametrical cost analysis, several conclusions are stated concerning the usefulness of the preliminary design and the huge number of parameters affecting the cost estimation of a building
