Analysis of A High-Rise Building Frame Considering Hybrid Shear Wall Under Lateral Load Using ETABS

Shear walls are structural elements that protect structures from lateral loads such as wind and earthquakes. When the external walls of a building are insufficiently strong and stiff, shear walls are added to the interior to provide greater strength and stiffness. When the permissible span width ratio for the floor or roof diaphragm is exceeded, these shear walls are required. Shear walls are flexural members that are commonly used in high- and low-rise buildings to prevent total collapse due to seismic stresses. Here hybrid shear wall means a combination of shear wall and X bracing this research is focused towards presenting the behaviour of structure considering three different cases namely, structure with X bracing at corner, structure with shear wall at corner and structure with hybrid shear wall at corner. The structure was modelled and analyzed using analytical application ETABS v 2016. The parameters of comparison were Storey displacement, storey shear. Storey drift, storey stiffness and base shear.
