Multistorey Building Analysis and Its Behavior because of Shear Wall Location Underneath completely different Seismal Zones

Earthquake leads to a disaster by creating massive damage on the surface of the earth. A framed structure reduces the impact of an earthquake. In these types of structures, shear wall plays a vital role by resisting the horizontal shear effectively. The shear wall is the flexural members that effectively resist displacement by providing adequate stiffness to the structure. In this work, the behavior of structure considering shear wall location in a different location under different seismic zones are studied both along the longitudinal and transverse direction. The dynamic response spectrum analysis is done as per IS code and by using design software ETABS. A 20 floor RCC building including base shear, time-period, drift ratio, & displacement are studied. The comparative analysis is done by considering with and without shear walls at different locations. The best feasible position of the shear wall is emphasized in our studies.
