Abstract:- In this study the 15 storey building is considered with each storey height of 3m. These buildings are analysied and designed as per Indian Code of Practice for Seismic Resistant Design and for wind load calculation. For the buildings base supports are assumed to be fixed. The sections of structural elements like beams and columns are considered as square and rectangular shapes. Constant storey height is maintained for all storeys of the buildings are assumed to be constant including the ground storey. The buildings are modeled and analyzed using software ETAB Nonlinear V9.7.0.Seven different models are studied with and without shear wall at different position in the building.

In the present study an attempt has been made to check the performance of high rise building with shear wall at the different position with seismic zone IV. Both Elastic static analysis and dynamic analysis (ESA) are carried out to compare the results

  1. INTRODUCTION

    A vertical plate like RC wall in reinforced concrete building, referred to as SHEAR WALL. Walls of the building are continuous throughout the height and usually start at foundation level. Shear walls acts a vertical oriented wide beams that carry earthquake loads downward to the foundation. Shear walls are provided along both length & width of building. Most RC building has columns with shear walls. These columns & shear walls carry lateral loads & gravity load respectively. Shear walls offer high

    strength & stiffness to building in the direction of their orientation, that

    considerably reduces damage to structure and its contents and thereby reduces lateral sway of the building. Shear wall buildings are typically regular in elevation and in plan. As a part of an earthquake resistant building design, under the earthquake load the lateral displacement is decreased by inserting the walls in building plans and shear wall structure can be obtained.

  2. RC SHEAR WALL IN BUILDING

    Shear walls should give the required lateral strength to resist horizontal earthquake forces. Shear walls are strong enough to transfer the horizontal forces to the other element in the load path under them. These other elements in the load path may be slabs, floors, foundation walls or footings.

    Shear walls additionally give lateral stiffness to protect the floor or roof above from excessive side-sway. Shear walls are stiff enough to prevent the roof and floor framing members from sliding off their supports. Sufficiently stiff buildings typically suffer less non-structural harms.

    RC shear walls gives great strength and stiffness to buildings within the direction of their orientation, that considerably

    reduces lateral sway of the building and therefore it decrease the structure damages. Due to the large horizontal force of earthquake on shear wall, the effect of overturning on shear wall will also be large. Therefore shear walls in buildings should be located symmetrically in plan to reduce ill-effects of twist in buildings. They can be placed symmetrically along both the directions of plan.

  3. SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF SHEAR WALL

    According to position of shear wall, the nature of stresses generation in the shear wall is different. Placing the shear wall at very near to the Centre of stiffness behave as a Vertical bending element and also the shear wall placing at corner of the building are can be in axial tension or in axial compression followed by the Lateral Force direction.

    The drift generated is more compare to shear walls placed at the corner of the building. Thats why it is important and necessary to consider the correct or optimum location of the shear walls in the structure that may helps to reduce the stresses in all the structural members of the structure.

  4. METHODOLOGY

    In this study the 15 storey building is considered with each storey height of 3m. These buildings are analysied and designed as per Indian Code of Practice for Seismic Resistant Design and for wind load calculation. For the buildings base supports are assumed to be fixed. The sections of structural elements like beams and columns are considered as square and rectangular shapes. Constant storey height is maintained for all storeys of the buildings are assumed to be constant including the ground storey. The buildings are modeled and analyzed

    using software ETAB Nonlinear V9.7.0.four different models are studied with and without shear wall at different position in the building.

      1. Model Details

        Consider RC frame shear wall building of 15 stories with and without shear wall at different position for regular and irregular structure. Total of 4 models are considered for analysis: Model 1: Regular building without shear wall Model 2: Regular building with shear wall at position 1 (corners)

        Model 3: Regular building with shear wall at position 2 Model 4: Regular building with shear wall at position 3 (centre)

  6. CONCLUSIONS

    1. Shearwall affects the stiffness of the

      structure , walls increase the strength to the structure to resists the lateral forces by increasing the performance of the structure.

    2. Storey displacement, has been reduced for all structures with shear walls in the middle as compared to corner for regular structure.

    3. The maximum lateral storey displacement exists at the terrace level for all types of structures.
