One innovative solution to enhance the structural performance of tall buildings is the incorporation of outrigger systems, particularly the K-style outrigger belt truss system, along with coupled shear walls. This paper presents a Study of the analysis, design, and performance evaluation of skyscrapers utilizing the K-style outrigger belt truss system in conjunction with continuous shear walls under lateral loads. In this work, skyscrapers using two different models one with a K-style outrigger continuous shear wall and the other with a K-style outrigger belt truss system are compared. Both models are subjected to linear dynamic analysis that is Response Spectrum Method with ETABS software, and the K-style outrigger belt truss system is further analyzed using non-linear dynamic analysis that is Time History Analysis to assess its performance under more extreme loading conditions. The continuous shear wall model combines continuous vertical walls with the K-style outrigger system in an effort to increase rigidity and load distribution capabilities. The K-style outrigger belt truss system includes strategically placed horizontal trusses in a K-pattern, connecting the building's core to its perimeter columns. A single outrigger structure's outriggers are positioned at four different heights: 0.20H, 0.40H, 0.60H, and 0.80H, and The double outrigger positions are as follows: 0.20H + 0.40H, 0.40H + 0.60H, 0.60H + 0.80H, and 0.80H + 1.00H. where H is the building's overall height. The analysis has been done considering zone-III. The Results of Base shear and lateral displacement will be assessed in each K-style outrigger Belt Truss Building and continues shear wall Building with each other and for K-Style Outrigger Belt Truss System Building Time History of Three Earthquakes is assessed by graphs of Time Period and Story Displacement.
