The effective placing of Shear Wall for Seismic Resistance of G+5 Story building on sloping Ground

The buildings located on the sloped ground are irregular. Therefore, Prone to hard destruction when acted by earthquake forces. These types of buildings have different stiffness and mass in the horizontal and vertical directions. As result, the centre of rigidity and centre of mass does not coincide on a different floor and cause to suffer high damage due to irregularity during an earthquake. Because it is considered that, the seismic performance of the building in a sloped area is much more different from the plain area. Present study deal with the Earthquake manner of the G+5 story building with a shear wall in a hilly area. The fundamental aims are to; investigate the performance of G+5 story building on the sloped area for different positioning of the shear wall, and to understand the impressiveness of SW on a sloped area. In this paper, G+5 story buildings with and without shear walls resting on the sloped ground are observed. Modelling and analysis are done by considering the response spectrum with the assistance of STAAD Pro and different configurations of a shear wall compared with considering story displacement, maximum bending moment, base shear, and axial forces.
