Seismic Analysis of G 10 Storey Building with Various Locations of Shear Walls using Etabs

Shear walls are specially designed structural members provided in the multi storey buildings to resist lateral forces. These walls have very high in plane strength and stiffness, which can resist large horizontal forces and can support gravity loads. There are lots of literatures available to design and analyse the shear wall. However, what is the optimum location of shear wall in multi storey buildings are not discussed extensively in any literature. It is very necessary to determine effective, efficient and ideal location of shear wall to get effective performance of the buildings. In this paper, therefore, main focus is to determine the efficient and effective location of shear walls in multi storey buildings. In this paper, various models of G 10 storeyed building have been analysed by changing locations of shear walls for determining parameters like Base Shear, Lateral Displacement and Storey Drift. In this paper the Linear static method of analysis has been carried out on type II soil Medium soil sites for a regular structure in plan in zone V for all the frame models and various load combinations are applied using software ETABS.The presence of shear wall can affect the seismic behaviour of frame structure to large extent, and the shear wall increases the strength and lateral stiffness of the structure. It has been found that the model M 09 having shear walls at the centroid of the building in cross shape shape shows better location of shear wall.
