This document compares different high-rise structural systems and their effectiveness for resisting wind and earthquakes at various building heights. Moment frames are suitable up to 20 stories, braced frames up to 30 stories, shear walls up to 40 stories, core and outrigger systems up to 75 stories, and tubular or hybrid systems for the tallest buildings over 110 stories. Design of these systems must consider both ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state criteria.
