This document analyzes the effects of shear walls on a 28-story building modelled in STAAD Pro software. Three models are considered: one without shear walls and two with shear walls in different locations (inward and outward parts of the building). The models are compared based on load transfer and lateral displacement of structural elements. Results show that providing shear walls in suitable locations significantly reduces displacements due to earthquake and wind loads. The document also reviews previous studies on shear wall behavior and modelling approaches. Methodology describes analyzing a 9-story building model with and without shear walls to determine optimal wall locations based on structural displacement and storey drifting.
EFFECT OF SHEAR WALL AREA ON SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF MULTI STORIED BUILDINGS WITH...Ijripublishers Ijri
The advances in three-dimensional structural analysis and computing resources have allowed the efficient
and safe design of increasingly taller structures. These structures are the consequence of increasing urban
densification and economic viability. The trend towards progressively taller structures has demanded a shift
from the traditional strength based design approach of buildings to a focus on constraining the overall motion
of the structure. Structural engineers have responded to this challenge of lateral control with a myriad
of systems that achieve motion control while adhering to the overall architectural vision.
Reinforced Concrete (RC) wall-frame buildings are widely recommended for urban construction in areas
with high seismic hazard. Presence of structural walls imparts a large stiffness to the lateral-force resisting
system of the building. Proper detailing of walls can also lead to ductile behavior of such structures during
strong earthquake shaking. One of the major parameters influencing the seismic behavior of wall-frame
buildings is the wall-area ratio. Thus shear wall area ratio is set as a key parameter which needs to be investigated
in this analytical study.
STUDY ON SEISMIC EFFECT OF HIGH RISE BUILDING SHEAR WALL/WALL WITHOUT SHEAR WALLIAEME Publication
This document analyzes the seismic effects on high-rise buildings with and without shear walls in zones II and III. Analytical models of G+5, G+10, and G+15 buildings were created in STAAD Pro and analyzed using the equivalent static method. Results show that lateral displacement is less in buildings with special moment resisting frames (SMRF) using shear walls compared to ordinary moment resisting frames (OMRF) without shear walls. The maximum difference in storey drift between SMRF and OMRF increases from 0.15% for G+5 to 0.66% for G+15 buildings in zone III, and from 0.04% to 0.41% respectively in zone II.
Lateral Load Analysis of Shear Wall and Concrete Braced Multi-Storeyed R.C Fr...ijsrd.com
This document analyzes the lateral load performance of different reinforced concrete frame models of a 12-story building using structural analysis software. Eight models are considered: a bare frame, fully infilled frame, frames infilled except the ground floor, and frames with shear walls, core walls or bracing in different configurations. Dynamic analysis shows fundamental periods are lowest for models with shear walls or bracing. Base shear and story drifts are highest for the bare frame and reduced by over 60% for infilled models. Models with ground soft-first story have increased drift, but shear walls or bracing can reduce drift by over 80% compared to the bare frame. Story displacements also decrease significantly with infilling or lateral load resisting elements.
Performance of shear wall building during seismic excitationsIAEME Publication
This document summarizes a study on the performance of shear wall buildings during seismic excitations. The study analyzed a 25-story building located in seismic zone 3, comparing the performance of two models: one with an L-shaped shear wall and one with a core-type shear wall. Time history analyses found that the building with the L-shaped wall experienced greater maximum displacement than the building with the core wall. Thus, providing shear walls as a core type can reduce story drift. Additionally, as the height of the building increases, shear walls absorb more lateral force than frames. Previous studies have also shown that shear walls with flanges perform better than walls without due to interaction between the flange and web.

This document presents a comparative analysis of square shaped reinforced concrete frames with and without masonry infill using response spectrum analysis. Masonry infill walls are commonly used to fill gaps in RC frames but are often ignored in design. The study models an 8-story RC building in ETABS and replaces the masonry infill with an equivalent diagonal strut. Response spectrum analysis is performed for different relative stiffness levels by reducing the strut width by 5-50%. Parameters like time period, base shear, storey displacement and stiffness are compared. Results show infill increases stiffness and strength but displacement increases as strut width decreases. Infill frames generally perform better seismically than bare frames by reducing displacements and increasing stiffness
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.
In last decades steel structures has played an impo rtant role in construction industry. Providing strength,stability and ductility are major purpose s of seismic design. It is necessary to design a structure to perform well under seismic loads. Stee l braced frame is one of the structural systems used to resist earthquake loads in structures. Stee l bracing is economical,easy to erect,occupies less space and has flexibility to design for meetin g the required strength and stiffness. Bracing can be used as retrofit as well. There are various type s of steel bracings such as Diagonal,X,K,V,inverted V type or chevron and global type concentr ic bracings. In the present study,it was shown that modeling of the G+4 steel bare frame with vari ous bracings (X,V,inverted V,and Knee bracing) by computer software SAP2000 and pushover analysis results are obtained. Comparison between the seismic parameters such as base shear,roof displacement,time period,storey drift,performance point for steel bare frame with differe nt bracing patterns are studied. It is found that the X type of steel bracings significantly contribu tes to the structural stiffness and reduces the maximum interstate drift of steel building than oth er bracing systems.

This document discusses a review on the seismic analysis of reinforced concrete frame structures with fully infilled walls, partially infilled walls, and no infilled walls in different seismic zones in India. It analyzes a G+15 story reinforced concrete frame building in seismic zones IV and V on medium soil using STAAD Pro software. The results for maximum nodal displacement, maximum reactions, maximum base shear, and maximum story shear are compared for different models with full infilled walls, partial infilled walls, and no infilled walls. Infill walls contribute to increased lateral stiffness and seismic resistance of buildings. Neglecting their effects can lead to an unsafe design that underestimates structural damage in seismic regions.

A 15-story commercial building was modeled in ETABS and analyzed under seismic loads. The objectives were to identify the most effective structure for resisting lateral loads, the most vulnerable structure, and compare the displacement, drift, stiffness, overturning moment, and period of structures with and without shear walls. Key results showed that flat slab structures with shear walls had better displacement resistance than conventional slab structures. Displacement increased with building height. Story drift was highest for conventional slabs and lowest for flat slabs with shear walls. Conventional slab structures were stiffer than flat slab structures.

The document compares the structural cost of low-rise buildings with moment resisting frames and moment resisting frames with shear walls in different seismic zones. It presents a case study of a 4-story residential building modeled in STAAD Pro. The results show that in seismic Zone III, shear walls slightly increase costs but not above 10%. In Zone IV, costs are increased by up to 0.79% with shear walls. Shear walls are found to be more cost-effective in Zone V. Ratios of concrete/area, steel/concrete, and formwork/concrete are lower with shear wall designs. The study concludes shear walls make low-rise buildings more economical and resistant to earthquake damage in high seismic zones.

This document reviews seismic analysis of shear wall optimization in multi-storey buildings. It discusses different positions of shear walls, including at the middle, corners, and center of structures. Studies show shear walls improve structural performance under seismic loads by increasing stiffness and strength. Placing shear walls at the corners provides the highest reliability by minimizing drift, while a central location increases base shear and period. Properly designed and detailed shear walls improve earthquake resistance and are widely used in seismic regions.
LATERAL LOAD ANALYSIS OF SOFT STORY BUILDING AND IMPORTANCE OF MODELING MASON...ijsrd.com
Generally Masonry infills are considered as non-structural elements and their stiffness contributions are generally ignored in practice. But they affect both the structural and non-structural performance of the RC buildings during earthquakes. RC frame building with open first storey is known as soft storey, which performs poorly during strong earthquake shaking. A similar soft storey effect can occur if first and second story used as service story. Hence a combination of two structural system components i.e. Rigid frames and RC shear walls leads to a highly efficient system in which shear wall resist the majority of the lateral loads and the frame supports majority of the gravity loads. To study the effect of masonry infill with different soft storey level, 7 models of Reinforced Concrete framed building were analyzed with two types of shear wall when subjected to earthquake loading. The results of bare frame and other building models have been compared, it is observed that model with swastika and L shape shear wall are showing efficient performance and hence reducing the effect of soft storey in model 3, model 4 and model 5.

This document discusses the effect of masonry infill panels, cross bracing, and viscous dampers on the seismic response of reinforced concrete frames. It analyzes a 7-story reinforced concrete building model with and without these elements using nonlinear static analysis. The addition of masonry infill walls, cross bracing, and viscous dampers reduces storey displacements and drift compared to the bare frame model. The equivalent strut method is used to model the infill walls, and cross bracing is modeled using diagonal steel braces. Viscous dampers absorb seismic energy to damp the motion of the building. Nonlinear static pushover analysis is performed using ETABS and SAP2000 software.
Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Steel Moment Resisting Frame due to Infil...IDES Editor
Steel moment resisting frame with open first storey
(soft storey) is known to perform well compared with the RC
frames during strong earthquake shaking. The presence of
masonry infill wall influences the overall behavior of the
structure when subjected to lateral forces, when masonry infill
are considered to interact with their surrounding frames the
lateral stiffness and lateral load carrying capacity of structure
largely increase. In this paper, the seismic vulnerability of
building with soft storey is shown with an example of G+10
three dimensional (3D) steel frame. The open first storey is
an important functional requirement of almost all the urban
multi-storey buildings, and hence, cannot be eliminated.
Hence some special measures need to be adopted for this
specific situation. The under-lying principle of any solution
to this problem is in increasing the stiffness’s of the first
storey such that the first storey stiffness is at least 50% as
stiff as the second storey, i.e., soft first storeys are to be avoided,
and providing adequate lateral strength in the first storey. In
this paper, stiffness balancing is proposed between the first
and second storey of a steel moment resisting frame building
with open first storey and brick infills as described in models.
A simple example building is analyzed by modeling it with
nine different methods. The stiffness effect on the first storey
is demonstrated through the lateral displacement profile of
the building.
Seismic Evaluation of RC Building with Various Infill Thickness at Different ...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes research on evaluating the seismic performance of reinforced concrete buildings with masonry infill walls of various thicknesses in different positions. Previous studies have shown that infill walls can improve the strength, stiffness, and energy absorption of RC frames under seismic loads. However, infill walls are often not properly considered in structural design. This study aims to investigate how infill wall thickness and location affect seismic response parameters like moments, shear forces, displacements and drift. The results will help identify efficient building configurations to inform seismic design codes.
This document is a project report on the design of a shear wall using STAAD Pro software. It includes an introduction to shear walls, which are vertical structural elements that resist lateral loads like wind and earthquakes. The report discusses the purpose, applications, advantages, and disadvantages of shear walls. It also describes the different types of shear walls and their behavior under loads. The design procedure for shear walls in STAAD Pro and as per reference codes is explained. The conclusion summarizes that shear walls provide strength and stiffness to resist lateral loads in buildings.
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.
ANALYSIS OF SOFT STOREY FOR MULTI STORYED BUILDING IN ZONE-4Ijripublishers Ijri
This document analyzes the soft story effect in multi-story buildings located in seismic zone 4 of India. A soft story is defined as a story with significantly less stiffness than adjacent stories, often due to large open spaces. The document describes a model of a 21-story building analyzed using ETABS software. Results show increased displacement and drift when soft stories are located at lower floors compared to upper floors. Design of structural elements in soft stories must account for increased lateral loads during earthquakes. Providing shear walls can increase story stiffness and improve seismic performance of buildings with soft stories.
The document discusses recommendations for improving the earthquake resistance of multistory reinforced concrete buildings based on deficiencies observed in past earthquakes. Key recommendations include:
1) Structural engineers and architects should be familiar with relevant seismic codes and consider soil conditions, foundation type, and structural system to avoid irregularities.
2) Soft first stories created by open ground floors or mid-height floors should be strengthened to avoid collapse due to stress concentration.
3) Floating columns and other discontinuities should be avoided to prevent large overturning forces.
4) Inertial forces from heavy rooftop tanks should be considered in design.

This document discusses a comparative study on the dynamic behavior of multi-storey buildings with and without coupled shear wall systems. It analyzes buildings using the software ETABS to study parameters like storey displacement, drift, base shear, and time period under static and dynamic loading conditions. Coupled shear walls are more effective at resisting lateral forces from earthquakes and winds. When openings are introduced in shear walls, coupled shear walls help reduce stress concentrations around the openings. Analysis of buildings with different numbers of stories shows coupled shear walls can improve performance, with benefits seen especially in taller buildings.
This document is a project report on earthquake resistant buildings submitted by a civil engineering student. It begins with an acknowledgement thanking the project guide. The contents section lists topics that will be covered such as what is an earthquake, how they affect buildings, seismic zones in India, and popular earthquake resistant techniques. The introduction defines earthquakes and classifies their magnitudes. It also discusses how earthquakes can damage buildings and the impacts like structural damage, fires, and landslides. Popular earthquake resistant techniques discussed include shear walls, seismic dampers, base isolation, horizontal bands, and rollers.
Reinforced concrete buildings in seismic regions often include vertical shear walls that run from the foundation to the roof. Shear walls help buildings withstand earthquakes by carrying lateral forces down to the foundation. They perform much better when properly designed with features like symmetrical placement, ductile reinforcement, and thickened boundary elements at the ends that experience high stresses. Buildings with sufficient shear walls have shown good performance during past earthquakes, making shear wall construction a popular approach in seismic design.
Seismic performance of a rc frame with soft storey criteriaeSAT Journals
Abstract
Soft first storey is a typical feature in the modern multi-storey constructions in urban India. Social and functional need to provide parking space at ground level leads seismic vulnerability of such a building. The computer software usage in civil engineering has greatly reduced the complexities of different aspects in the analysis and design of projects. In the present study an attempt has been made to investigate the seismic behaviour of a multi-storey building with soft first storey. When subjected to seismic loads, it was observed that soft storey frames are less resistant when compared to infill frames.

Seismic Drift Consideration in soft storied RCC buildings: A Critical ReviewIJERD Editor
Reinforced concrete frame buildings are becoming increasingly common in urban India. Many such
buildings constructed in recent times have a special feature – the ground storey is left open for the purpose of
parking, i.e., columns in the ground floor do not have any partition walls (of either masonry or
Reinforced concrete) between them. Such buildings are often called open ground storey buildings. The
relative horizontal displacement in the ground storey is much larger than storeys above it. The total horizontal
earthquake force it can carry in the ground storey is significantly smaller than storeys above it. The soft or weak
storey may exist at any storey level other than ground storey level. The presence of walls in upper storeys
makes them much stiffer than the open ground storey. Still Multi storey reinforced concrete buildings are
continuing to be built in India which has open ground storeys. It is imperative to know the behavior of
soft storey building to the seismic load for designing various retrofit strategies. Hence it is important to
study and understand the response of such buildings and make such buildings earthquake resistant based
on the study to prevent their collapse and to save the loss of life and property.
This document provides an introduction and overview of the structural design considerations for tall buildings. It discusses how mankind has sought to build taller structures throughout history as symbols of power. For tall buildings, lateral loads from wind and earthquakes must be effectively resisted to prevent shear failure, overturning, or excessive deflection. Various lateral load resisting systems are explored, including moment frames, braced frames, tube structures, and outrigger systems. Rigidity indices are used to compare the bending and shear resistance of different structural configurations. The challenges of seismic design are also addressed. The document reviews previous research on improving the performance of reinforced concrete frames through the addition of bracing or shear walls.
IRJET- Seismic Linear Analysis of Low Rise Open Ground Storey BuildingsIRJET Journal
This document summarizes a study on the seismic linear analysis of low-rise open ground storey buildings. It discusses how the presence of infill walls affects building behavior under lateral loads. While engineers often ignore wall stiffness in analysis, this may not be accurate for discontinuous walls in open ground storey buildings. The study aims to evaluate the code-recommended 2.5 multiplication factor for stiffness and examine how infill strength and stiffness impact seismic analysis of open ground storey buildings with different support conditions using commercial software. The results showed the 2.5 factor was too high for beam and column forces, and stiffness was similar with or without infills in open ground storey buildings. Support conditions significantly influenced response.

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.
ANALYSIS OF SOFT STOREY FOR MULTI STORYED BUILDING IN ZONE-4Ijripublishers Ijri
This document analyzes the soft story effect in multi-story buildings located in seismic zone 4 of India. A soft story is defined as a story with significantly less stiffness than adjacent stories, often due to large open spaces. The document describes a model of a 21-story building analyzed using ETABS software. Results show increased displacement and drift when soft stories are located at lower floors compared to upper floors. Design of structural elements in soft stories must account for increased lateral loads during earthquakes. Providing shear walls can increase story stiffness and improve seismic performance of buildings with soft stories.
The document discusses recommendations for improving the earthquake resistance of multistory reinforced concrete buildings based on deficiencies observed in past earthquakes. Key recommendations include:
1) Structural engineers and architects should be familiar with relevant seismic codes and consider soil conditions, foundation type, and structural system to avoid irregularities.
2) Soft first stories created by open ground floors or mid-height floors should be strengthened to avoid collapse due to stress concentration.
3) Floating columns and other discontinuities should be avoided to prevent large overturning forces.
4) Inertial forces from heavy rooftop tanks should be considered in design.
Comparative Study on Dynamic Behaviour of Multi-Storey Building with and With...IRJET Journal
This document discusses a comparative study on the dynamic behavior of multi-storey buildings with and without coupled shear wall systems. It analyzes buildings using the software ETABS to study parameters like storey displacement, drift, base shear, and time period under static and dynamic loading conditions. Coupled shear walls are more effective at resisting lateral forces from earthquakes and winds. When openings are introduced in shear walls, coupled shear walls help reduce stress concentrations around the openings. Analysis of buildings with different numbers of stories shows coupled shear walls can improve performance, with benefits seen especially in taller buildings.
This document is a project report on earthquake resistant buildings submitted by a civil engineering student. It begins with an acknowledgement thanking the project guide. The contents section lists topics that will be covered such as what is an earthquake, how they affect buildings, seismic zones in India, and popular earthquake resistant techniques. The introduction defines earthquakes and classifies their magnitudes. It also discusses how earthquakes can damage buildings and the impacts like structural damage, fires, and landslides. Popular earthquake resistant techniques discussed include shear walls, seismic dampers, base isolation, horizontal bands, and rollers.
Reinforced concrete buildings in seismic regions often include vertical shear walls that run from the foundation to the roof. Shear walls help buildings withstand earthquakes by carrying lateral forces down to the foundation. They perform much better when properly designed with features like symmetrical placement, ductile reinforcement, and thickened boundary elements at the ends that experience high stresses. Buildings with sufficient shear walls have shown good performance during past earthquakes, making shear wall construction a popular approach in seismic design.
Seismic performance of a rc frame with soft storey criteriaeSAT Journals
Abstract
Soft first storey is a typical feature in the modern multi-storey constructions in urban India. Social and functional need to provide parking space at ground level leads seismic vulnerability of such a building. The computer software usage in civil engineering has greatly reduced the complexities of different aspects in the analysis and design of projects. In the present study an attempt has been made to investigate the seismic behaviour of a multi-storey building with soft first storey. When subjected to seismic loads, it was observed that soft storey frames are less resistant when compared to infill frames.

Seismic Drift Consideration in soft storied RCC buildings: A Critical ReviewIJERD Editor
Reinforced concrete frame buildings are becoming increasingly common in urban India. Many such
buildings constructed in recent times have a special feature – the ground storey is left open for the purpose of
parking, i.e., columns in the ground floor do not have any partition walls (of either masonry or
Reinforced concrete) between them. Such buildings are often called open ground storey buildings. The
relative horizontal displacement in the ground storey is much larger than storeys above it. The total horizontal
earthquake force it can carry in the ground storey is significantly smaller than storeys above it. The soft or weak
storey may exist at any storey level other than ground storey level. The presence of walls in upper storeys
makes them much stiffer than the open ground storey. Still Multi storey reinforced concrete buildings are
continuing to be built in India which has open ground storeys. It is imperative to know the behavior of
soft storey building to the seismic load for designing various retrofit strategies. Hence it is important to
study and understand the response of such buildings and make such buildings earthquake resistant based
on the study to prevent their collapse and to save the loss of life and property.
This document provides an introduction and overview of the structural design considerations for tall buildings. It discusses how mankind has sought to build taller structures throughout history as symbols of power. For tall buildings, lateral loads from wind and earthquakes must be effectively resisted to prevent shear failure, overturning, or excessive deflection. Various lateral load resisting systems are explored, including moment frames, braced frames, tube structures, and outrigger systems. Rigidity indices are used to compare the bending and shear resistance of different structural configurations. The challenges of seismic design are also addressed. The document reviews previous research on improving the performance of reinforced concrete frames through the addition of bracing or shear walls.
IRJET- Seismic Linear Analysis of Low Rise Open Ground Storey BuildingsIRJET Journal
This document summarizes a study on the seismic linear analysis of low-rise open ground storey buildings. It discusses how the presence of infill walls affects building behavior under lateral loads. While engineers often ignore wall stiffness in analysis, this may not be accurate for discontinuous walls in open ground storey buildings. The study aims to evaluate the code-recommended 2.5 multiplication factor for stiffness and examine how infill strength and stiffness impact seismic analysis of open ground storey buildings with different support conditions using commercial software. The results showed the 2.5 factor was too high for beam and column forces, and stiffness was similar with or without infills in open ground storey buildings. Support conditions significantly influenced response.

IRJET- Analytical Study of Punching Shear in Flat Slab - Review PaperIRJET Journal
This document provides a literature review on analytical studies of punching shear in flat slab structures. It discusses how flat slab construction is becoming more popular due to advantages like reduced building height and construction time. However, punching shear failure at column-slab connections is a major design challenge. The literature review summarizes several papers that analyzed different flat slab configurations under seismic loading, investigated strengthening methods for punching shear, and compared the seismic behavior of flat slab and conventionally reinforced structures. The conclusion is that providing drop panels at exterior column corners reduces the need for shear reinforcement, and including cut-outs near drops further improves the punching shear capacity of the slab.

IRJET- A Research on Comparing the Effect of Seismic Waves on Multistoried Bu...IRJET Journal
The document compares the effect of seismic waves on multistoried buildings with and without shear walls and flanged concrete columns. Three 10-story building models are analyzed using STAAD Pro: Model 1 without seismic resisting structures, Model 2 with concentrically located shear walls along the exterior, and Model 3 with flanged concrete columns along the exterior. Model 2 and 3 experience approximately 10% less lateral force and base shear compared to Model 1. Introducing shear walls or flanged columns improves seismic performance by increasing stiffness and reducing displacements, stresses, and forces in the building. While shear walls provide the greatest stability, flanged columns also enhance seismic resistance and may be more economical for some applications.

IRJET-Comparing the Effect of Earthquake on Shear wall building and Non-Shear...IRJET Journal
This document reviews research on comparing the effect of earthquakes on buildings with and without shear walls. It summarizes several studies that found shear walls help reduce lateral displacement during earthquakes. Shear walls resist horizontal forces and provide stiffness. Openings in shear walls can increase displacement, as can thinner flanges on shear walls. Locating shear walls at corners or in the building core was found to minimize displacement compared to other positions. Studies concluded shear walls substantially reduce earthquake impacts and non-shear wall buildings may need retrofitting in high risk areas. Future research could further examine effects of column flanges and different shear wall placements.

STRUCTURAL COST COMPARISON OF LOW RISE BUILDING HAVING MOMENT RESISTING FRAME...IAEME Publication
In Bhuj earthquake 2001, there were collapses of many low rise buildings. After a
very severe seismic shaking, it may be far cheaper to repair, or even rebuild the
damaged structure, than to build a no damaged structure in the first place. With the
help of shear walls the structure can be made which will not collapse in earthquake. It
is general perception in minds of people that shear walls are economical for high rise
buildings. Therefore it is necessary to find out cost efficiency of low rise buildings
with shear walls.
This document analyzes the effects of openings in shear walls on the seismic performance of 15-story reinforced concrete buildings. Finite element models of buildings with different shear wall configurations and opening sizes/shapes are created and analyzed using seismic coefficient and response spectrum methods. The results show that external and internal shear walls reduce column moments and axial forces compared to core-only walls. Larger openings decrease shear wall stiffness and increase seismic demands on structural elements. Response spectrum analysis predicts lower forces than the seismic coefficient method. In conclusion, properly incorporating shear walls can improve seismic performance, but openings negatively impact the walls based on their size, shape, and location.
Lateral Load Analysis of Shear Wall and Concrete Braced Multi-Storeyed R.C Fr...ijsrd.com
Generally RC framed structures are designed without regards to structural action of masonry infill walls present. Masonry infill walls are widely used as partitions. These buildings are generally designed as framed structures without regard to structural action of masonry infill walls. They are considered as non- structural elements. RC frame building with open first storey is known as soft storey, which performs poorly during strong earthquake shaking. Past earthquakes are evident that collapses due to soft storeys are most often in RC buildings. In the soft storey, columns are severely stressed and unable to provide adequate shear resistance during the earthquake. . In this study, 3D analytical model of twelve storeyed buildings have been generated for different buildings Models and analyzed using structural analysis tool 'ETABS'. To study the effect of infill, ground soft, bare frame and models with ground soft having concrete core wall and shear walls and concrete bracings at different positions during earthquake; seismic analysis using both linear static, linear dynamic (response spectrum method) has been performed. The analytical model of the building includes all important components that influence the mass, strength, stiffness and deformability of the structure.

STUDY THE EFFECT OF RESPONSE REDUCTION FACTOR ON RC FRAMED STRUCTUREIRJET Journal
This study examines the effect of response reduction factors (R factors) on reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures through nonlinear dynamic analysis. Three RC frame models with varying heights (4, 8, and 12 stories) were analyzed in ETABS software under different R factors ranging from 1 to 5. The results showed that displacement increased as the R factor decreased, indicating less linear behavior for lower R factors. Drift also decreased proportionally with increasing R factors from 1 to 5. Shear forces in the frames decreased with higher R factors. In general, R factors of 3 to 5 produced more satisfactory performance with less displacement and drift. The displacement variations between different building heights were consistent at different R factors. This study evaluated how R factors influence
