At the initial step, the most important thing for the high-rise building design is the decision of a lateral

load
resisting system. Normally the shear wall system is applied for resisting lateral loads in buildings lower than 40
stories, however this system is uneconomic for the high-rise buildings because it is flexible to resist lateral loads.
Therefore, various lateral load resisting systems are being applied as a alteration. As a lateral load resisting
system for buildings being or having been constructed, the outrigger girder improves the stiffness of structure.
The Galleria Palace has adopted the core wall, outrigger girder, frame, and fin wall. The case studies are as
follows;
Case 1: Core Wall Only
Case 2: Core Wall + Lower Outrigger
Case 3: Core Wall + Upper Outrigger
Case 4: Core Wall + Lower & Upper Outrigger
Case 5: Core Wall + Lower Outrigger + Perimeter Frame
Case 6: Core Wall + Lower & Upper Outrigger + Fin Wall
Case 7: Core Wall + Lower Outrigger + Perimeter Frame + Fin Wall
The lower outrigger(1500x1600mm) has been set up at the 16th floor and the upper outrigger(1500x1500mm)
at the 43rd floor. The perimeter girder is 1500x350mm of size and connects outer columns. Because outriggers
lean relatively toward lower side against the building height, the fin wall(Thk. 300mm) has been set up between
15th and 43rd floor to satisfy the limit of story drift due to the seismic load. The core wall thickness is 800mm at
underground, 600mm from 1st to 16th floor, and 450mm above 16th floor.
3.2 STIFFNESS ANAYSIS IN CASES
The stiffness in each case has been compared by the period which is based on the core wall only system. Follows
are the results of displacement and stiffness comparison. With considering the eccentricity and crack section,
here the 50% of stiffness in outrigger and lintel beam has been applied.
3.3 RESULT
The case studies show that a outrigger is effective to increase the stiffness of structure and to control displacement. Of
course the effectiveness of the outrigger system is variable in accordance with its location. In this project, the lower
outrigger has a higher stiffness than the upper one. The stiffness of the upper outrigger and frames is increased by 10% as
compared with the case 1. At the upper outrigger, the considerable stress is generated due to the deflection difference
between core wall and column. If the delay joint is set up at connection part to reduce this stress, the problem of the
works term might be occurred. In this reason the perimeter frame has been adopted as a lateral load resisting system and
the upper outrigger has been removed. However the perimeter frame has a difficulty of construction because a seismic
resisting detail about the thinner beam is required. The fin wall has been adopted to increase stiffness about X-direction
because the wall stiffness of X-direction is relatively lower than that of Y-direction due to the shape of the core wall.
