Buildings are generally designed to withstand against gravity load for expected life and resist extent of lateral loads by satisfying the codal provision. Main objective of structural elements is to transfer the load safely to the ground, which depends on structural system adopted. Generally, structural system can be adopted depending on the demand of client/building needs/use of structure, environmental condition, performance optimization, economic condition etc. For high rise building moment resisting frame system, structural wall systems, dual system, flat slab-structural wall systems can be employed. A residential ground with ten upper floors high rise building situated in zone-III has been taken under reference, where MRF with RC structural wall system is used. Structural parameters are compared in the study for various location and orientation of RC wall. Linear static and dynamic analysis is performed on the structure based on the IS 1893 Part-I on ETABS software.

In this paper, the contents, meaning and importance of conceptual design in the high-rise building structure design are explored from the following respects: structural system, facade layout and multi-channel seismic line. It not only provides a strong protection of concept for calculation of high-rise building structures, but also accumulates some experience for the research on conceptual design of high-rise structures.

For buildings of normal earthquake-resistant construction, it is essential to provide their structural frame with sufficient rigidity and strength horizontally and vertically, ensuring a uniform distribution of rigidity and strength in the plane. To this end, it is typical that those buildings adopt the same type of construction and structural system. On the other hand, in buildings of general base-isolation construction, their upper structure, which is supported by a base isolation layer, undergoes lessened seismic forces and therefore is able to tolerate concentration of rigidity and strength. This makes them available for construction with any types of structural systems, which in turn allows new structural planning realizing a greater freedom in architectural design; the same type of construction and structural system for the upper structure is generally adopted. In contrast, when a high-rise building is provided with an isolation layer in an intermediate level, its upper structure, which is placed above the isolation layer, has high seismic resistance as a seismic isolation structure. And a mass damper effect contributes to decrease in seismic responses in the lower structure, ensuring high seismic resistance of a building. This paper describes the physical properties of a seismic isolation layer system which is built at an middle-story of a building. It also introduce buildings by which potentials for new architectural planning are proposed through the use of this system.
