  • Abstract:
  • Tower-Podium type buildings are being quite popular now days, because they allow optimum use of land as well as financial leverage to satisfy demand of larger commercial space. Podium can be defined as part of structure whose lateral load resistance is more than that of tower. The backstay effect is a set of lateral forces developing within a podium structure to equilibrate the lateral forces and moment of a tower extending above podium structure. In this study to analyse Tower-Podium Structure CSI ETABS software is used. Different models are prepared by changing the no. of stories of podium and diaphragm conditions. After analysing, it is observed that backstay effect increases with increase in podium floors and it is more in case of rigid than semi-rigid. So, it is inferred that Tower with 5 storey Podium and Rigid Diaphragm can resist more lateral forces than any other models
