Lateral Load Analysis of High-Rise RC Framed Building with and without RC Shear Walls

Abstract

Shear wall are used in tall buildings as supporting element to resist earthquake loading. The RC shear wall is the most reliable method of construction of shear wall which makes the structure resistant against lateral forces. Shear wall systems are one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting systems in high rise buildings. A study on an high rise building with shear wall and without shear wall at different locations was studied to understand the lateral loads and shear effects.in this paper six models are analysed with and without shear wall at different location, one at the corners, one at the periphery and center core of the building through ETABS software. Estimation of structural response such as; base shear, storey displacement, storey acceleration and storey drift is carried out. In equivalent static load method and response spectrum method is used.
