Analysis of a Facade Structure Considering Lateral Load Using ETABS

Facade system is the external part of any structure. Nowadays designers are progressive towards using different materials as facade for the purpose of Esthetic appearance. In tall structures with diverse material facades, a detailed analysis for wind load is conducted and the behaviour will be estimated and compared with different facade system. Different wall systems are explored for the state-of-the-art in terms of examining the many types of materials used in façades, their functional and strength requirements, as well as their applications and design for wind load in tall buildings in this research. The main goal of this study is to identify material composites utilized in façades, as well as to design and analyses a high-rise building's façade system for wind load. This study compares several facade systems for a G+18 high-rise structure using three different facade systems: masonry, shear wall, and glass wall. The structure's storey displacement, shear force, bending moment, axial force, and base shear are all examined. ETABS, an analytical application, is used for modelling and analysis.
