Behaviour Assessment of High Rise Steel Building with Cantilever Floors Under Lateral Load

Abstract: This paper compares of lateral load acting on steel structure and their impact on cantilever floors. Height increases vulnerability to buckling under wind loads and seismic loads, affecting high-rise structures' stability. Tall structures are more flexible and can withstand earthquake stresses better. Assessing building height's impact on seismic load resistance is crucial, as it varies with horizontal seismic stresses. Steel frames are popular due to their ease of construction, maintenance, and retrofitting. However, their structural stability increases with height. Steel bracings can increase strength in steel frames. This paper examines the impact of brace types on steel framed structures under Indian Standards.
