A Study on Effect of Shear Wall in Seismic Analysis of Building

With the proliferation of population and increasing demands for the space in urban areas, the need for tall structures has been grown up significantly. Tall structures are susceptible under dynamic loading which mainly threatens in form of time dependent lateral loading caused from mainly earthquake and wind. Response spectrum analysis is widely used in such cases to evaluate the seismic capacity of a structure. The present literature focuses on two different models with and without using shear walls at different positions. The article showcases the parametric study in terms of storey drift, displacement and base shear comparison for different location of shear wall in the building. The results are unique and fruitful for future attention.
