EARTHQUAKE RISKS AND EFFECTIVE OF EARTHQUAKE LOAD AND WIND LOAD ON BEHAVIOR OF SHEAR WALL IN FRAME STRUCTURE

Shear walls are a type of structural system that provides lateral resistance to a building or structure. They resist in-plane loads that are applied along its height. The applied load is generally transferred to the wall by a diaphragm or collector or drag member. The performance of the framed buildings depends on the structural system adopted for the structure The term structural system or structural frame in structural engineering refers to load-resisting sub-system of a structure. The structural system transfers loads through inter connected structural components or members. These structural systems need to be chosen based on its height and loads and need to be carried out, etc. The selection of appropriate structural system s for building must satisfy both strength and stiffness requirements.
