DCABLE BRACING SYSTEM FOR TALL BUILDINGS

Selection of wind force resisting system is an important decision in the design tall buildings, especially for those located hurricane prone regions. Rigid frames, shear walls, braced framed tube, bundled tube and hybrid are common structural forms used to resist lateral forces produced due wind. Cables have a great potential be as element. Cable stayed hanging bridges guyed towers applications cables. Not much work has been done use cables bracing buildings against movement by natural like earthquakes. This research proposes external cable which may future high-rise structures. A sixty story building analyzed speed recommended Miami, FL., USA., using wall proposed system. Comparison performance two systems presented establish suitability part system.
