Effect of End Walls in Tall Buildings with Square Plan and Concrete Frames under Wind Load

Lateral loads cause remarkable damage to structures like wind load in tall buildings. Studies have showed more tensions in the end wings of shear walls. In this study, 30-story and 50-story concrete buildings with square plans were modeled; these two models are moment-resisting frame with end wall and moment-resisting frame without end wall. These structures were subjected to wind load by the Etabs 2016 software. The maximum drift decreased by 50% and %36 in 50-story and 30-story buildings, respectively. The maximum displacement declined 47% and 32% in 50-story and 30-story buildings, respectively. Therefore, these ratios indicated suitable performance of end wall under wind load
