Shear walls are vertical structural elements designed to resist lateral forces like winds and earthquakes. They work by transferring shear forces throughout their height and resisting uplift forces. Properly designed and constructed shear wall buildings are very stable and ductile, providing warnings before collapse during severe earthquakes. Common types of shear walls include reinforced concrete, plywood, and steel plate shear walls. Shear walls are an effective and efficient way to resist lateral loads in seismic regions.
Shear walls are vertical reinforced concrete walls that resist lateral forces like wind and earthquakes. They provide strength and stiffness to control lateral building movement. Shear walls are classified into different types including simple rectangular, coupled, rigid frame, framed with infill, column supported, and core type walls. Design of shear walls involves reviewing the building layout, determining loads, estimating earthquake forces, analyzing the structural system, and designing for flexural and shear strengths with proper reinforcement detailing. The behavior of shear walls under seismic loading depends on their height to width ratio, with squat walls experiencing more shear deformation and slender walls undergoing primarily bending deformation.
shear walls are vertical elements of the horizontal force resisting system. Shear walls are constructed to counter the effects of lateral load acting on a structure.
A shear wall is a vertical structural element used to resist horizontal forces such as wind and seismic forces. Shear walls are generally used in high-rise buildings where the effects of wind and seismic forces are more significant. Shear walls are usually provided along both the length and width of buildings and act like vertically-oriented beams that carry earthquake loads downwards to the foundation. Common types of shear walls include reinforced concrete, concrete block, steel, plywood, and mid-ply shear walls. Shear walls must provide the necessary lateral strength to resist horizontal earthquake forces and lateral stiffness to prevent excessive side-sway of the structure.
1) High rise buildings are becoming more common due to scarcity of land and demand for space. They are defined differently but generally refer to buildings over 15 meters tall.
2) Foundations for high rise buildings include shallow foundations like spread footings and mat foundations, and deep foundations like piles. Piles transfer load through end bearing or friction along their length.
3) Structural systems for high rise buildings must resist both gravity and lateral loads. Interior systems include rigid frames and shear walls. Exterior systems such as tube and diagrid systems resist loads along the building perimeter.
This document summarizes a seminar presentation on shear walls. Shear walls are vertical structural elements that resist lateral forces like winds and earthquakes. They distribute forces from floors, roofs, and exterior walls to the foundation.

Shear walls are typically used in tall buildings and provide lateral strength and stiffness to resist horizontal seismic forces.
1) Shear walls are vertical elements that carry lateral loads like wind and seismic forces from the building down to the foundation, forming a box structure for support.
2) Shear walls should be placed on all levels of the building, including the basement, and symmetrically on all four exterior walls to form an effective structure. Interior walls can add strength when exterior walls are not sufficient.

Pre-stressed concrete uses tensioned steel strands or bars to place concrete in compression before application of service loads. This counters the tensile stresses induced by loads and prevents cracking. There are two main methods: pre-tensioning applies tension before pouring concrete, while post-tensioning tensions strands after concrete curing. Pre-stressed concrete allows for smaller and lighter structures that resist loads, deflection, and cracking better than reinforced concrete.

The document discusses high rise buildings and their structures. It defines high rise buildings as between 35-100 meters tall or 12-39 floors. Buildings over 100m are called skyscrapers and over 600m are mega-tall. High rises are constructed to address land scarcity in urban areas and increasing demand for space. Their structures have evolved from early stone and iron frames to steel skeleton frames to reinforced concrete shear walls and core structures. Foundations must transfer enormous loads into the ground through methods like raft or pile foundations. Interior structures use rigid frames, shear walls, and exterior structures employ tube systems to resist lateral wind and seismic loads.
This document discusses shoring and underpinning methods used to provide temporary or permanent support to structures. Shoring provides temporary stability during construction or repairs using techniques like raking, flying, or dead shores made of timber or steel.

Rectangular framed structures use columns and beams arranged at right angles to support floors, walls, and roofs. They are commonly used for multi-story buildings like offices, schools, and hospitals. Framed structures provide large open floor plans and are adaptable to different shapes. Earthquake-resistant features in framed structures include shear walls, moment-resisting frames, and braced structures which resist lateral forces during seismic activity.
This document provides an overview of different types of retaining walls, including gravity, cantilever, counterfort, sheet pile, and diaphragm walls. It discusses the key components and design considerations for gravity and cantilever retaining walls. Gravity walls rely on their own weight for stability, while cantilever walls consist of a vertical stem with a heel and toe slab acting as a cantilever beam. The document also covers lateral earth pressures, drainage of retaining walls, uses of sheet pile walls, and construction methods for diaphragm walls.
Prestressed concrete uses high-strength steel tendons or cables to put concrete members into compression prior to stresses from service loads being applied. This counters the tensile stresses induced by loading and improves the behavior of the concrete. There are two main methods - pretensioning and post-tensioning. Pretensioning involves stressing steel tendons before concrete is cast, while post-tensioning stresses steel tendons after the concrete has hardened. Losses in prestress over time include elastic shortening, anchorage slip, friction, creep, shrinkage, and steel relaxation. Proper material selection and design can minimize these losses and optimize the performance of prestressed concrete.

Composite construction or Composite Structure/FrameAbdul Rahman
Composite structure of steel and concrete has been explained under this ppt with examples, type of structural members, advantages and comparison with other structures like R.C.C structure and Steel structures.
Reinforced concrete is a composite material consisting of concrete and steel reinforcement. François Coignet built the first iron reinforced concrete structure in 1853. Reinforced concrete uses the strengths of both materials - concrete is strong in compression and steel is strong in tension. It is used widely in construction for buildings, bridges, tunnels and other structures due to its high strength and durability.
Shear walls are preferred in seismic regions because they are very effective at resisting lateral forces during earthquakes. Shear walls are vertical structural elements designed to transfer seismic forces throughout the height of the building. They provide large strength, high stiffness, and ductility. Shear wall buildings have performed much better during past earthquakes compared to reinforced concrete frame buildings. Some key advantages of shear walls include good earthquake resistance when designed properly, easy construction, reduced construction costs, and minimized damage to structural and non-structural elements during seismic events.
Slip form construction is a method where concrete is poured into a continuously moving form to construct structures without joints. There are two main types - vertical slip forming used for tall structures like buildings and towers, and horizontal slip forming for pavement. The moving formwork is supported by hydraulic jacks and remains intact until the entire structure is completed, allowing faster construction at lower cost compared to traditional formwork. Slip forming produces monolithic, jointless structures but requires careful planning of the construction process and a skilled workforce.
Shear walls are concrete or masonry walls that are reinforced with steel rods arranged in a grid pattern. They are designed to resist both vertical and horizontal forces like earthquakes. Shear walls are integrated throughout the building's structure to provide three-dimensional stability. Compared to framed structures, shear wall systems are more effective at withstanding earthquakes due to their larger supporting area relative to the building footprint. Properly designed and detailed shear wall buildings have demonstrated good seismic performance in past earthquakes.

With sustainable and resilient construction increasingly important, shear walls have become a fundamental part of modern building design and construction.
Shear walls are structural elements found in buildings that provide strength and stiffness to resist lateral forces like wind and earthquakes. They run continuously from the foundation to the top of the building and can range in thickness from 150mm to 400mm. Shear walls carry large horizontal loads during earthquakes and work together with beams, columns, and moment frames to resist seismic forces in different directions. Reinforcing concrete structures with external steel shear walls is an effective technique for strengthening existing buildings by improving seismic capacity, base shear capacity, and stiffness while also reducing costs and construction time compared to other methods.

Steel is made through a process that begins with iron ore, coke, and limestone being fed into the top of a blast furnace. Hot air blown into the bottom of the blast furnace causes a series of reactions where carbon monoxide reduces the iron ore to molten iron, which is drained from the bottom. The limestone also reacts to form slag, which is separated from the molten iron. The molten iron can then be cast or further processed to produce steel, which has a variety of important uses including in construction, automobiles, packaging, and infrastructure. Steel production is crucial to modern society but manufacturers must consider the environmental impact of their processes.
Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, along with small amounts of other metals. There are many types of steel classified based on their composition. Some of the main types discussed include high carbon steel, mild steel, medium carbon steel, stainless steel, high speed steel, cobalt steel, nickel chromium steel, aluminum steel, and chromium steel. The document then discusses the properties and manufacturing processes of steel, including the Bessemer process, open hearth process, cementation process, crucible process, duplex process, L.P. process, and electrical process. Steel is widely used in contemporary architecture due to its strength, durability, and ability to be formed into various shapes.
Prestressed concrete is a combination of steel and concrete that uses compressive stresses applied during construction to oppose tensile stresses that occur in use. There are three main types: pre-tensioned concrete uses steel tendons tensioned before concrete is placed; bonded post-tensioned concrete uses unstressed steel placed then tensioned after curing; and unbonded post-tensioned concrete provides freedom of movement between steel and concrete. Pre-tensioned concrete requires molds that can resist internal forces and calculations to account for losses over time. Prestressed concrete provides benefits like reduced cracking and corrosion, higher strength, and more economical construction for bridges compared to steel.
The document discusses different types of developmental plans in India including national development plans, regional development plans, city development plans, zonal development plans, local area development plans, and sectoral development plans. It provides details on the purpose, contents, and functions of each type of plan. National development plans in India include five-year plans which aim to promote growth, employment, equity and justice. Regional development plans organize population, resources and infrastructure over a regional area.
The document discusses various methods for transporting, placing, compacting, and curing concrete at a construction site in Tilla Mod, Loni, Uttar Pradesh for a housing project. Transportation methods include wheelbarrows, buggies for short distances, concrete mixer trucks for longer distances, buckets suspended from cranes, and belt conveyors. Placement is done using buckets, chutes, or pumps as needed. Compaction is achieved through vibration with internal or external vibrators. Curing keeps the concrete moist and improves strength and durability through methods that supply additional water or prevent water loss, such as wet covers, sprinkling, ponding, or waterproof plastic sealing.

2. Shear walls are vertical elements of the horizontal
force resisting system.
Shear walls are constructed to counter the effects
of lateral load acting on a structure.
When shear walls are designed and constructed
properly, and they will have the strength and
stiffness to resist the horizontal forces.
Shear walls are especially important in high-
rise buildings subjected to lateral wind and seismic
forces.
Shear wall buildings are usually regular in plan and
in elevation.
3. Shear walls are not only designed to resist gravity /
vertical loads, but they are also designed for lateral
loads of earthquakes / wind.
Shear wall structural systems are more stable.
Walls have to resist the uplift forces caused by the pull
of the wind. Walls have to resist the shear forces that
try to push the walls over. Walls have to resist the
lateral force of the wind that tries to push the walls in
and pull them away from the building.

5. COMPARISIONS OF SHEAR WALL WITH
CONSTRUCTION OF CONVENTIONAL LOAD
BEARING WALLS
Load bearing masonry is very brittle material. Due to different kinds of
stresses such as shear, tension, torsion, etc., caused by the
earthquakes, the conventional unreinforced brick masonry collapses
instantly during the unpredictable and sudden earthquakes.
The RCC framed structures are slender, when compared to shear wall
concept of box like three-dimensional structures. Though it is possible
to design the earthquake resistant RCC frame, it requires extraordinary
skills at design, detailing and construction levels, which cannot be
anticipated in all types of construction projects.
6. On the other hand even moderately designed
shear wall structures not only more stable, but
also comparatively quite ductile. In safety terms it
means that, during very severe earthquakes they
will not suddenly collapse causing death of people.
They give enough indicative warnings such as
widening structural cracks, yielding rods, etc.,
offering most precious moments for people to run
out off structures, before they totally collapse.
7. FORCES ON SHEAR WALL
Shear walls resist two types of forces:
shear forces : Shear forces are
generated in stationary buildings
by accelerations resulting from
ground movement and by external
forces like wind and waves. This
action creates shear forces
throughout the height of the wall
between the top and bottom shear
wall connections.
8. uplift forces : Uplift
forces exist on shear
walls because the
horizontal forces are
applied to the top of the
wall. These uplift forces
try to lift up one end of
the wall and push the
other end down. In
some cases, the uplift
force is large enough to
tip the wall over. Uplift
forces are greater on
tall short walls and less
on low long walls.

13. METHODS OF DESIGN OF SHEAR WALL
Segmented shear wall method
The segmented shear wall method uses full
height shear wall segments that comply with
ratio requirements and are usually
restrained against overturning by hold down
devices at the ends of each segment.
14. Force transfer –ground openings method
The second method force transfer-ground openings
method consider the entire shear wall with openings
and the wall piers adjacent to openings are
segments. The method requires the forces around
the perimeter of the openings to be analyzed,
designed, and detailed. With this method, the hold-
down devices generally occur at the ends of the
shear wall, not at each wall pier, and special
reinforcement around the opening is often required.
15. Perforated shear wall
method
The third and newest
method is the
perforated shear wall
method which is an
empirical approach that
does not require special
detailing for force
transfer adjacent to the
openings. The
perforated shear wall
method, however,
specifically requires
hold-down devices at
each end of the
perforated shear wall.

preparedness training for faculty, staff,
students and parents, Ludlow Castle School
was officially designated a "model safe
school" by the Indian government.
17. TYPES OF SHEAR WALLS
RC SHEAR WALL
It consists of reinforced concrete walls and reinforced concrete slabs. Wall thickness
varies from 140 mm to 500 mm, depending on the number of stories, building age,
and thermal insulation requirements. In general, these walls are continuous
throughout the building height; however, some walls are discontinued at the street
front or basement level to allow for commercial or parking spaces.
PLYWOOD SHEAR WALL
Plywood is the traditional material used in the construction of Shear Walls. The
creation of pre-fabricated shear panels have made it possible to inject strong shear
assemblies into small walls that fall at either side of a opening in a shear wall. As
well as the use of a sheet steel, and steel-backed shear panel (i.e. Sure-Board) in the
place of structural use plywood in shear walls, has proved to be far stronger in
seismic resistance when used in shear wall assemblies.
Plywood shear walls consist of:
• Plywood, to transfer shear forces
• Chords, to resist tension/compression generated by the over turning moments
• Base connections to transfer shear to foundations.
18. MIDPLY SHEAR WALL
The MIDPLY shear wall is an improved timber shear wall that was developed by
redesigning the joints between sheathing and framing members, so that the failure
modes observed in standard wall testing are virtually eliminated at lateral load levels
high enough to cause failures in standard walls.
In MIDPLY shear wall design, one ply of sheathing material is placed at the center of
the wall between a series of pairs of studs oriented in a 90° rotated position relative to
those in standard shear walls
RC HOLLOW CONCRETE BLOCK MASONRY WALLS
RHCBM walls are constructed by reinforcing the hollow concrete block masonry, by
taking advantage of hollow spaces and shapes of the hollow blocks. It requires
continuous steel rods (reinforcement) both in the vertical and horizontal directions at
structurally critical locations of the wall panels, packed with the fresh grout concrete in
the hollow spaces of masonry blocks.

19. STEEL PLATE SHEAR WALL
In general, steel plate shear wall system consists of a
steel plate wall, boundary columns and horizontal floor
beams. Together, the steel plate wall and boundary
columns act as a vertical plate girder. The columns act
as flanges of the vertical plate girder and the steel plate
wall acts as its web. The horizontal floor beams act,
more-or-less, as transverse stiffeners in a plate girder.
Steel plate shear wall systems have been used in recent
years in highly seismic areas to resist lateral loads.
20. ADVANTAGES OF STEEL PLATE SHEAR WALL TO
RESIST LATERAL LOADS:
1. The system, designed and detailed properly is very ductile and has
relatively large energy dissipation capability. As a result, steel shear
walls can be very efficient and economical lateral load resisting
systems.
2. The steel shear wall system has relatively high initial stiffness, thus
very effective in limiting the drift.
3. Compared to reinforced concrete shear walls, the steel shear wall is
much lighter which can result in less weight to be carried by the
columns and foundations as well as less seismic load due to reduced
mass of the structure.
4. By using shop-welded, field-bolted steel shear walls, one can speed-
up the erection process and reduce the cost of construction, field
inspection and quality control resulting in making these systems even
more efficient.
21.
5. Due to relatively small thickness of steel plate shear walls
compared to reinforced concrete shear walls, from
architectural point of view, steel plate shear walls occupy
much less space than the equivalent reinforced concrete
shear walls. In high-rises, if reinforced concrete shear walls
are used, the walls in lower floors become very thick and
occupy large area of the floor plan.
6. Compared to reinforced concrete shear walls, steel plate
shear walls can be much easier and faster to construct when
they are used in seismic retrofit of existing building.
22. ARCHITECTURAL ASPECTS OF SHEAR WALLS
Most RC buildings with shear walls also have
columns; these columns primarily carry gravity
loads (i.e., those due to self-weight and
contents of building). Shear walls provide large
strength and stiffness to buildings in the
direction of their orientation, which significantly
reduces lateral sway of the building and thereby
reduces damage to structure and its contents.
23. Since shear walls carry large horizontal
earthquake forces, the overturning effects on
them are large. Thus, design of their foundations
requires special attention. Shear walls should be
provided along preferably both length and width.
However, if they are provided along only one
direction, a proper grid of beams and columns in
the vertical plane (called a moment-resistant
frame) must be provided along the other direction
to resist strong earthquake effects.
24. Door or window openings can be provided in shear walls, but
their size must be small to ensure least interruption to force
flow through walls. Moreover, openings should be
symmetrically located. Special design checks are required to
ensure that the net cross-sectional area of a wall at an
opening is sufficient to carry the horizontal earthquake force.
Shear walls in buildings must be symmetrically located in
plan to reduce ill effects of twist in buildings. They could be
placed symmetrically along one or both directions in plan.
Shear walls are more effective when located along exterior
perimeter of the building – such a layout increases
resistance of the building to twisting.
25. ADVANTAGES OF SHEAR WALLS IN BUILDINGS
Properly designed and detailed buildings with shear
walls have shown very good performance in past
earthquakes. Shear walls in high seismic regions require
special detailing. However, in past earthquakes, even
buildings with sufficient amount of walls that were not
specially detailed for seismic performance (but had
enough well-distributed reinforcement) were saved from
collapse. Shear wall buildings are a popular choice in
many earthquake prone countries, like Chile, New
Zealand and USA.
26. Shear walls are easy to construct, because
reinforcement detailing of walls is relatively
straight forward and therefore easily implemented
at site.
Shear walls are efficient, both interims of
construction cost and effectiveness in minimizing
earthquake damage in structural and
nonstructural elements like glass windows and
building contents.
27. CONCLUSION
Thus shear walls are one of the most effective
building elements in resisting lateral forces
during earthquake. By constructing shear walls
damages due to effect of lateral forces due to
earthquake and high winds can be minimized.
Shear walls construction will provide larger
stiffness to the buildings there by reducing the
damage to structure and its contents.
