Use of Shear Wall Belt at Optimum Height to Increase Lateral Load Handling Capacity in Multistory Building: A Review

Due to the increase in the demand of high rise and fascinating structure with vertical & horizontal irregularity, different themes, and increasing height day by day leads to new challenges and requirement of new safety measures. To resist from earthquake and expressly wind effect due to increasing stature as the stiffness of the building is increases with increasing height we need to adopt some preventing structural system. Some of them are bracings, shear wall, outrigger system etc. In this study outrigger system is taken for analysis due the fact that is found the most optimal system for high rise buildings and skyscrapers. In this system the external columns are connected to main inner or outer core by means of outrigger beams at different floors to resist against story drift and rotating action of core due seismic and wind forces. In this study various papers allied to this topic are reviewed in which an enormous work is done in this field earlier. With the help of review of research paper we came to know about the conclusive outcome which forms the research objectives of our further study.
