Design of high building with alternative systems and compare them with respect to cost

With the increasing population human has decreased the living areas. Because of that reasonwith the developing technology human is always trying to find best ways to locate morepeople to the narrower living areas. So the buildings are getting higher. Nowadays these highbuildings have become a symbol of the prestige.The aim of this study is to investigate the carrying systems of high reinforced concretebuildings and to make a comparison of them. A 40-stored reinforced concrete building hasbeen taken as a basis and then to minimize the deviation, as it was divided into the blocks, thisissue has been solved and matched.As a conclusion, it was noticed that the shear-wall system can be designed easier than columnsystem and especially in earthquake risky regions like Turkey the shear-wall system should bepreferred as compared with column system. Besides, the higher buildings with shear-wallsystem are more economical than the column system. Because of all the above given reasonsit was concluded that as making 40 stored or higher buildings the shear-wall system should bechosen.Keywords; High buildings, skyscraper, carrying systemJURY :1-Doç.
