Abstract

The paper presents a brief understanding of the concept of Outrigger system and explains its structural composition and advantages. The paper explains the different types of outrigger – conventional, offset and virtual. It tries to establish advantages of virtual system over others. Although theoretically conceptualized, the structural system has potential to suit the requirements and demands of a structurally and economically viable tall building. The paper presents an elaborate comparison of the lateral load resisting systems and also compares the virtual system with the conventional outrigger system.

Keywords

Lateral loads resisting buildings, conventional outrigger, virtual outrigger, seismic load, wind load, lateral displacement, and storey drift.
