Currently, the demand for high-rise buildings is increasing worldwide, and this trend is also appearing in Korea. Buildings have different planar and elevation shapes, and as a result, buildings with different shapes are constructed. In this study, 122 buildings over 150m, which are scheduled to be completed and completed in Korea, were selected as the subjects of the study to analyze the correlation between the planar shape and the elevation shape of domestic buildings and to understand the current status. As a result of the analysis, in the case of current high-rise buildings in Korea, the application of Overlapping elements and Prismatic elements was high in the elevation shape, and there were many rectangular and polygonal planes in the plane shape. It is judged that the shape distribution of high-rise buildings in Korea can be grasped by analyzing the correlation between these two shape factors.
The 3T irregular shape structure is used for designing wind loads in high-rise buildings. Among them, the Tapered shape is a shape with a cross-section that changes throughout the entire floor. Recently, various advanced Tapered shapes have been applied, such as having a cross-section that varies only in part of the height or combining different shapes. In this study, an analysis model was selected by applying three types of Tapered part locations(Bottom, Middle, Top) and angles as design variables. Equivalent static seismic loads and historical earthquake records were applied to compare and analyze the seismic response of the Tapered models with regular-shaped models. As a result of the analysis, positioning the partial taper in the middle shows the lowest seismic response. Additionally, a larger taper angle decreased the story drift ratio, top-story displacement, shear wall shear force, and column bending moment, while increasing absolute acceleration and column axial force.
