Abstract Recently, two unique high rise buildings have been designed and constructed in Korea. The two buildings, which consist of mega braces and mega columns, are 70-story, 105-story high rise buildings. Through two external structural frame systems, it will be analyzed mechanical and structural characteristic mega column and mega brace system in this report. Particularly, the joint has been studied through the analytical method based on the load transfer mechanism at the point where a mega brace and mega column meets.
