Non Linear Time History Analysis of Structure with and Without Shear Wall

Structures need to have suitable earthquake resistant features to safely resist large lateral forces that are imposed on them during frequent earthquakes. Ordinary structures for houses are usually built to safely carry their own weights. Lateral forces can produce the critical stresses in a structure, set up undesirable vibrations and, in addition, cause lateral sway of structure, which could reach a stage of discomfort to the occupants. Shear wall is one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting element in high rise building. In this study, the non-linear El-centro time history analysis is carried out for special moment resisting frame under earthquake loading using computer software E-TAB 2016.
