Abstract
The demand on high-rise buildings increased, lateral drift control became a most important design variable, at the same time, various lateral drift control system were proposed and outrigger structural system was one of these typical systems. In recent years, the optimal location of outrigger has been proposed. The maximum of lateral drift vary depending on the slenderness ratio of structure, even the structures were set as similar heights and outriggers were also set at the optimal locations. Commonly, There's no knowing that the limitation of the maximum lateral drift either meets the requirements or not limitation of the maximum lateral drift as just at the optimal location of outriggers simply. This paper transformed the equation on the optimal location of singular outrigger proposed by Taranath. Equation of limitation of slenderness ratio on structures with singular outrigger on the optimal location were proposed singular outrigger on the optimal location, limitation of slenderness ratio was also proposed.
