P-Delta Effects in Varying
Storey Heights

This presentation explores the dynamic behavior of tall structures and the impact of the P-Delta
effect, a crucial consideration in the design of high-rise buildings. Using the ETABS 2016 software,
we will examine how varying storey heights influence the structural response and stability of these
iconic structures.

Varying Storey Heights and their Impact

1 Uniform Storey Heights


Structures with uniform storey heights are relatively simpler to analyze and design, but may not
optimize the available space or accommodate specific program requirements.

2 Stepped Profiles
Varying storey heights, such as in stepped or tapered profiles, can enhance the architectural
expression and improve the overall structural response to lateral loads.

3 Dynamic Implications
The P-Delta effect becomes more pronounced in structures with varying storey heights,
requiring a detailed analysis to ensure stability and safety.
