Studying the Effect of Using High Performance Concrete on the Lateral Displacement and Over All Stability of Tall Building

In the pursuit of sustainability, the construction of tall buildings is essential, and new types of concrete can contribute to miniaturizing architectural sections. This research studied a 20-story framed building under two conditions: using ordinary concrete and using high-performance concrete. We found that the building's footprint decreased by approximately 21% in the high-performance concrete case, and the lateral displacement of the top of the building decreased by 31%. Furthermore, we observed that high-performance concrete played a significant role in increasing the building's rigidity, thus enabling the use of smaller structural and architectural elements on larger floors.
