Abstract
Accommodating the rising population in developing countries has given rise to increased height of buildings. Since the cost of the land is increasing everywhere, there is an affinity among builders, architects, engineers, clients to go for vertical growth instead of horizontal growth. To facilitate the rapid galloping growth of basic infrastructure modern cities are demanding tall structures. Since the structures are growing vertically, the issue of lateral stability and sway has to be dealt with utmost care. Wind and Earthquake forces contribute a great impact on building deflection. Outrigger and Belt Truss are the lateral load resisting systems adopted in high rise buildings to reduce deflection. The use of Outrigger and Belt Truss system Plays a major role in resisting lateral loads like wind,
seismic forces in tall buildings and has been efficiently used to provide stiffness to the structure.
