15 International Journal of Scientific Research and Innovative Technology Vol. 5 No. 10; December 2018 A Comparative Study on Structural Analysis of High-Rise Buildings Şule Yılmaz Erten 1 , Semiha Kartal 2 1, 2 Trakya University, Faculty of Architecture, Department of Architecture, Macedonia Campus, 22100 Edirne, Turkey suleyilmaz@trakya.edu.tr Abstract. With the developing technology, the high-level structures provide innovative solutions that enable many functions to coexist together. In addition, high-rise buildings are an advertising tool for countries, cities and large companies to show their power and prestige. From their design to operation, these structures take place in the city skyline with their advanced technology. Formerly human’s life was near to nature, which human beings have been accustomed for centuries. However today, they have been tried to rise their structures with the help of developments in technology, construction techniques and with the limitations brought by urbanization day by day. These structures, which are defined as multi storey buildings in the literature, have taken the name of skyscraper together with the desire to reach higher and higher. As technology has advanced, the desire to build higher has brought different structure system solutions and proposals. In this context, the investigation of the positive/negative effects of these structures to the function of the structure, which are the new living spaces of people, constitutes the main point of the study. It has been found that the functions are limited and the spaces cannot be used efficiently in the structure system solutions of the prestige buildings in this study. With the development of the construction materials, it will be provided that hybrid or steel construction system buildings formed by taking advantage of the steel structure with slender columns and beams. Thus, creating a more flexible and efficient use of interior spaces of extraordinary forms can be designed. 1. Introduction With the industrial revolution and industrialization, the rural population migrates to cities, and as a result, the need for work and housing increases, leading to the emergence of high buildings. Besides this, with the development of the industry, the elevator has been invented, and people have been thinking that higher structures can be made. Reducing the number of settlements in the city centers due to intensive construction, being valuable and efficient use of the land, has led the designers to produce some solutions. Therefore, it has become a solution to increase the number of housing and study areas in the existing areas and this problem could be solved by ascending vertically. Developments in material technology after the industrial revolution have also increased the choice of materials in the construction of today's high structures. Hybrid systems have been developed to combine the positive features of reinforced concrete and steel materials. The buildings that do not have sufficient stability or unusual appearance when built with reinforced concrete could be constructed steel materials or reinforced concrete and steel hybrid systems. This has allowed for the production of prestige structures of today's mega-height structures as well as extraordinary structures that consist of amorphous forms. In addition to all these improvements,
