 moment resisting frame system
A moment frame is a special type of frame that uses rigid
connections between each of its constituent members. This
configuration is able to resist lateral and overturning forces because
of the bending moment and shear strength that is inherent in its
members and the connecting joints.

- The advantage of a moment-resisting frame is that it has an open

rectangular configuration that allows for flexibility in design and easy door
and window installation. Only buildings with a maximum height of 25
stories are cost-effective. To regulate drift and displacements over 25
storeys, the frame's relatively high flexibility necessitates uneconomically
massive members.

 Shear wall system

Shear walls are wall systems that transfer lateral wind and seismic loads from a roof or floor
down to lower levels, and then into  the foundation. Under prescriptive design codes for
conventional construction, shear walls are referred to as braced wall panels.

- When shear walls and frames are used together in low to medium rise constructions, it is
acceptable to assume that the shear walls will attract all lateral loads, allowing the frame to be
built solely for gravity loading. Shear wall systems have been found to function well in
earthquakes where ductility is an important consideration.They function as both vertical
cantilevers in the form of individual planar walls and non-planar assemblies of connected walls
around elevator, stair, and service shafts. And It can be cost-effective up to 35 stories because
they are much stiffer horizontally than rigid frames.
 tubular system

The tube is a structural engineering system that is used in high-rise buildings, enabling them to

resist lateral loads from wind, seismic pressures and so on. It acts like a hollow
cylinder, cantilevered perpendicular to the ground.
- Three, four, or potentially more frames, braced frames, or shear walls are linked at or near their
edges to produce a vertical tube-like structural system capable of resisting lateral stresses in any
direction by cantilevering from the foundation. The tubular concept is used in some form or
another in all recent high-rise structures with more than 50 to 60 stories.

 Shear wall+ frame system

- The typical manner of interaction between a prismatic shear
wall and a moment frame is that the frame fundamentally
deflects in a so-called shear mode, while the shear wall
primarily responds by bending as a cantilever. Horizontal
deflection compatibility introduces interaction between the
two systems, which has the tendency to induce a reversal.This
method has been applied to structures ranging in height from
ten floors to fifty stories or even higher. The system's
applicability might be extended to structures of 70-80 storeys
thanks to the introduction of haunch girders.
  Dia –Grid

- A type of space truss known as a di-grid structure. A perimeter grid made up of a number of
triangulated truss systems makes up the structure. The Dia-grid technology reduces the amount
of structural elements needed on building facades. Because of their triangulated configuration,
the dia-grid members can carry both gravity and lateral loads. Because the axial action of the dia-
grid element carries lateral shear, dia-grid constructions are more successful in limiting shear
deformation. It provides a secondary load path in the case of a structural collapse, as well as
lowering the weight of the superstructure, which reduces the load on the foundation.
