Analysis of G+4 Multistoried Building for Various Locations of Shear Wall Considering the Effect of Torsion Using Response Spectrum Method

This paper deals with the analysis of an irregular multi-storied building .The analysis is dynamic with the use of Response Spectrum Method. Shear Walls in general can be defined as the arrangement provided to resist the lateral forces such as due to wind and earthquake. It's generally noticed that the effectiveness of the Shear wall changes with the change in its location. Hence this research paper focuses on the effectiveness of shear wall considering various locations of the plan of building. The building plan considered is irregular in shape resembling the letter “L”. The building considered in the analysis is a G+4 structure.8 Models representing different location of shear wall have been considered in the analysis. The analysis has been purely done through software approach using the software STAAD Pro for analysis. The analysis has been done taking torsion into consideration and analyzed as per IS code. The parameters considered for comparison are peak storey shear considering peak storey shear, peak storey shear considering torsion, drift and average displacement.
