Shear wall is a structural member designed to counteract the lateral forces acting on a structure. These walls are more important in seismically active zones when shear forces on the structure increases due to earthquakes. Shear walls have more strength, stiffness and resist in-plane loads that are applied along its height. Buildings with shear walls which are properly designed and detailed have shown very good performance in past earthquakes. Various research studies have been conducted on the design of shear wall and its performance to seismic forces. This study used analytical software called E-TABS to provide a full perspective of the equivalent static technique and a high-rise building's reaction spectrum analysis with same model, in different zones. Using software to do the study has been beneficial. The structure has a medium soil type and is approximately G+10 stories tall.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
