Abstract
In tall buildings, tubular structures have become a popular feature over the past few years. For all tall buildings, tubing in tube
systems is especially tubes at the corners; the whole building behaves like a massive tube. Between the inner and outer tubes,
lateral loads are exchanged. Different models were developed in the E-TABS V15 programme to research the seismic
performance of tubes in tube structures by varying the position of the inner tubes. The structures are studied using a continuum
method in which the horizontal slabs and beams connecting vertical components are considered to have equal distributed
stiffness properties as a continuous connecting medium. To have a comparative analysis on the model, the equivalent static is
evaluated Suitable. A tube contains a peripheral framed tube and a central tube interconnected by floor slabs in a tube
framework. With smaller.

I. INTRODUCTION
Advances in structural structures, increase in building height and slenderness, use of high-strength materials, decrease in building
weight, etc. have now allowed lateral loads, such as wind and earthquake, to be taken into account in the design process. In
design considerations, lateral forces arising from wind and seismic activities are now dominant. The lateral movement of such
structures must be strictly controlled, not only for the comfort and protection of occupants, but also for the control of secondary
structural effects. There are currently several structural structures that can be used to improve the lateral resistance in tall
buildings, such as rigid frame, braced frame, shear-walled frame, frame-tube, braced-tube, bundled-tube and Outrigger
structures.
Tubular structures have been used successfully and in tall buildings are becoming a common feature. The framed tube,
central tube, tube-in-tube and bundled tube are fundamental types of tubular structures. The layout of a tube-in - tube consists of
a framed peripheral tube and a central tube interconnected by floor slabs. For any one of these Various simplified models have
been developed for vertical components to evaluate the behaviour of the system under lateral loads. Over the past decades,
several researchers have developed approximate techniques for a single tube and multi-tube device.
A tube-in - tube structure’s exterior and interior columns is mounted so closely together that they not only appear to be
rigid, but they also serve as a solid surface. The whole building works as a massive hollow tube with a hollow tube in the centre
of it is a smaller tunnel. Between the inner and outer tubes, lateral loads are exchanged.

Basic forms of tubular systems are:-
– Framed Tube
– Braced Tube
– Bundled Tube
– Tube-in-Tube
The theory of the tube system is based on the idea that a building can be built by constructing it as a hollow cantilever
perpendicular to the ground to withstand lateral loads. The perimeter of the outside consists of closely spaced columns in the
simplest embodiment of the tube, which are connected by moment ties with deep spandrel beams. This arrangement of columns
and beams forms a rigid structure along the exterior of the building that contributes to a thick and solid structural wall.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW

Peter C. Chang(1) (1985) He analyzed Tube-in-tube structures using a continuum approach. Flexural deformation, shear
deformation, and shear-lag effects are studied. The beams are forced to have equal lateral deflections, and the amount of load
carried by each beam is a function of its relative stiffness The analyses are performed using the Minimum Potential Energy
principle, and the results are compared with results of finite element analyses. An effective method was proposed for evaluating
the global deflection behaviour of a tube-in - tube system. The lateral deflection compatibility of the two tubes is applied,
reducing the two sets of differential equations to a set of 10 first-order differential equations.
J. Connor, J, and C. C. Pouangare(2) (1991) suggested a rather basic model for the study and design of framed-tube
structures subjected to lateral loads. As a set of stringers and shear tables, the structure is modeled. To achieve the desired
outcomes, the analytical expressions for the stresses and displacements are finished. The model can be used directly for the study
of structures along the height of the structure that integrate various materials and distinct properties.
M. R. Jahanshahi, R. Rahgozar, M. Malekinejad (3)(2012) Parametric functions for static study of tall buildings with a
combined tube in-tube and outrigger-belt truss system subjected to three different clustered load cases at the top of the structure,
distributed loads uniformly and triangularly around the height of the structure. The formulas suggested here were validated by
contrasting them with the results of the machine static analysis obtained from three-dimensional It has been shown that results
computed by the energy method correlate well with those obtained by means of E-TABS analysis.
Kang-Kun Lee, Yee-Chaye Loo, Hong Guan(4) (2001) Proposed For the approximate study of framed-tube systems
with multiple internal tubes, a basic mathematical model is proposed. Comparisons with the two current simplified methods and
a 3D frame analysis programme check the precision, simplicity, and reliability of the proposed system. Often accounted for in
the study is the extra lateral stiffness due to the contact of the tube-tube. It is found that additional bending stresses have a major
impact on the phenomenon of shear-lag. The proposed method provides equally accurate results in predicting the deflection
response and the column axial stress distributions in comparison with the 3D frame analysis software, the only other
methodology available for the tubes-in-tube system.

III. SCOPE OF WORK

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the performance of a Braced Tube structure with different positioning of the
internal tube. The study of static analysis part has been done by developing model in ETABS-2015.
The displacement parameters at each floor level for Equivalent static, are plotted and a comparative study is conducted
which is expected to present the effect of torsion and pounding gap of adjacent building.
A 15 storied building are modeled with story height 4m with Distance of 8.5m c-c. The total base area of the building is
51 x 51 m2. The building consists of rectangular composite columns with dimensions 1700mmx1300mm and another column
size of 1400mmx1000mm.Composite beams with dimension 1000mm x800mm and another beam size of 900mmx700mm.The
floor slabs are of 200mm thick and the tube side Bracings of ISWB550.
Grade of concrete used is M30&M45.The modulus of elasticity (E) and the shear modulus (G) are taken as 2.73x 107
KN/m2 and 1.14 x107KN/m2. The base plan and various positioning are shown in Fig.1,2&3 Respectively.
The gravity loads include beam, column, slab, wall and other permanent members. The programme itself automatically
considers the self-weight of the beams , columns (frame members) and the slab (area element). Wall loads are independently
measured and applied to beams as uniformly distributed loads. As per IS 1893 (Part 1) 2002, live loads are allocated as a uniform
area load on the slab portion. Live load is taken as 4 KN/ m2 on the roof and as 5 KN/ m2 on the floor.

IV. ANALYSIS
The analyses carried out are
1) Equivalent Static Analysis
2) Dynamic Analysis

A. Equivalent Static Analysis

The proceedings are carried out in compliance with IS 1893 (Part 1) 2002. For the building, the design base shear is first
computed and then distributed along the overall height. Thus, the lateral force is distributed to individual lateral load resisting
elements at each floor level. Floor finish and wall load will be considered for the review because of the live load as well as dead
load. After that, by assigning those loads to the model, the model was analysed.
