Behavior of R.C. Structure With And Without Provision of Shear Wall Including Openings Against Lateral Loads

Now a day, the population is biggest problem in India, to overcome that, there is need of vertical development instead of horizontal development. And therefore there is a demand of Tall structures. Structural frame only are not sufficient to stand against various loading act on the building. In RC building, Shear wall is the most appropriate structure form, which improves structural behavior in tall buildings. This resists lateral loads like wind & earthquake force efficiently and therefore studying of the shear wall in structural system is necessary. In this study the behavior of the R.C. building with shear wall is analyzed by providing openings in the shear wall and the resultant parameters like displacement, time period, stiffness etc. are compared by using structural software ETABS.
