Columns & walls are load bearing and maximum at the centre.The centre of gravity in the columns and walls are determined by the perpendicular straight line exactly at the centre of any column or wall.

Are a skyscraper's walls made of concrete?
No. The (exterior) walls are usually steel and glass (perhaps incorporating some aluminum), all of the weight of which is borne by the floors. The weight of the floors is borne by the vertical support columns, which are steel or reinforced concrete. They're tucked inside. The massive weight of the building is transferred into the support columns, and that compressive force is transferred in turn down into bedrock. Most of the tallest buildings have their load bearing columns "inside" away from the outer walls. That allows the outer wall of the building to be more fully developed for "the view" from higher elevations. It also protects the columns from damage due to the possible impact of an aircraft. That was part of the design consideration for the Empire State Building. And a good thing, too. The 102-story structure was struck by a B-25 flying in a thick fog on the morning of July 28th, 1945. That was Sunday. Much of the building was open for business the following day. In the case of the World Trade Center, the exterior of the buildings were steel load bearing walls. It was an extraordinary engineering concept! And the buildings were superb! But, in retrospect, it may have been an engineering error - a fatal idea.
