Behavior and Design of Distributed Belt Walls as Virtual Outriggers for Concrete High-Rise Buildings
Abstract A new lateral force-resisting structural system for concrete high-rise buildings, distributed belt wall system, is proposed. Unlike conventional belt structures, the belt walls infilling the space between perimeter columns are distributed separately along the overall building height. In thi...
