Comparison Between Tall Structure with Intermediate Storey and Void Storey

Abstract: This research provides a thorough evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of using intermediate storeys vs void storeys in tall structures. The choice of design features has a major influence on the functioning and sustainability of tall buildings, which have become ubiquitous in contemporary urban landscapes. In this study, we compare and contrast two different design methodologies by exploring their structural contexts and aesthetic qualities. Contrarily, void floors provide open space inside the structure, which may serve a variety of functions including increasing natural ventilation and serving as leisure places. Our research takes a holistic look of tall structures with these design features, taking into account things like structural displacement, drift, and base shear. The purpose of this article is to provide guidance to professionals as they decide between an intermediate level and a void level for a certain project. The structure is modelled in ETABS, loads are applied, and the structural behavior is analyzed.

Keywords: Tall Structures, ETABS, Seismic Analysis, Void Storey.
