This study analyzes the dynamic behavior of high-rise dual systems with in-plane discontinuities in vertical elements resisting lateral loads. Three types of reinforced concrete structures are modeled - a regular frame, a frame with shear walls, and a frame with discontinuous shear walls. The structures are analyzed for heights of 20, 40, and 60 stories using equivalent static analysis and time history analysis in ETABS. Results show that shear walls reduce time period but increase stiffness. Taller structures have increased displacements, drifts, and base forces. Structures with discontinuous shear walls have smaller responses than regular frames, but perform worse than continuous shear wall structures above 40 stories.
