A Review on High Rise Building with Shear Wall under Seismic Loading

This dissertation study involves the behavior of shear wall in high rise building under seismic loading. In recent decades the most appropriate structural form in recent decades are shear wall and tube structure which have caused the height of concrete building to be soared. Construction made of shear wall high in strength; they are highly efficient in taking load in earthquake prone area as they have peculiar behavior towards various types of loads. In this project we are going to study three case with different height located in different seismic zones for earthquake is to be studied using software package ETABS. The earthquake load is to be calculated and applied to multi-storied building, model results are calculated analyses for appropriate location of shear wall, effect of type of shear wall and building with shear wall and without shear wall. Shear walls have proved to be very successful in resisting strong earthquake so far.
