Abstract

In recent years, there has been a notable surge in the development of multi-tower connected structures. This architectural phenomenon encompasses the creation of interconnected high-rise buildings that feature shared elements like podiums, sky bridges, or other forms of physical connection. These structures are designed to create a cohesive and functional complex that offers a range of amenities and promotes a sense of community. Dynamic analysis of horizontally connected reinforced concrete tall structures is an essential aspect of structural engineering to ensure their safety and stability under various loading conditions, including seismic events and wind forces. For this analysis Modelling of horizontally connected reinforced concrete tall structures as per IS 16700: 2017 provisions in ETABS software by varying the position and number of the horizontally connecting structure. The analysis involves assessing the dynamic response of the interconnected structures to vibrations and oscillations caused by external forces. And also, this analysis explores the influence of interconnection between individual structures on the overall response, considering factors like damping, stiffness, and mass distribution.
