SHEAR WALL ANALYSIS & DESIGN OPTIMIZATION IN HIGH RISE BUILDIN G S

A Residential Building with 19 floors is analyzed with and without shear walls for wind and earthquake load s. The Building consists of four flats for each floor and comes under zone 2. Shear walls were taken at lift and stair and corners of the building as L shape. Vertical loads, Moments, Lateral forces, Torsional moments were compared for both cases at each floor during analysis part. Optimization techniques are used to solve structural engineering problems where the most complex high rise structures using design optimization, involving both size and topological optimization is solved by considering stabilit y, safety, response to different type of loadings. Wall - frame structure optimization is the part of project.. For this system of wall and cores they were checked for displacement, Internal Stresses and Intensities when subjected to various loadings
