Abstract

In the seismic design of buildings, shear walls act as major earthquake resisting members. Structural walls provide an efficient bracing system and offer great potential for lateral load resistance. The properties of these seismic shear walls dominate the response of the buildings, and therefore, it is important to evaluate the seismic response of the walls appropriately. In this paper our main focus is to determine the seismic behavior of building with post tensioned shear wall. For that Storey displacement and interstorey drift were computed using SAP2000 and compared with RCC shear wall Building.
