Comparative Study of Multi-Storied Building with and without Shear Wall using Staad Pro

As the world move towards the implementation of performance based engineering philosophies in seismic design of civil engineering structure, new seismic design provisions required structural engineers to perform both linear and nonlinear analysis for the design of structures. Now a day’s lot of research work is going on in static nonlinear analysis. In recent decades, shear walls structures are the most appropriate structural forms, which have caused the height of concrete buildings to be soared. Shear wall is a structural element used to resist horizontal forces parallel to the plane of the wall. Shear wall are specially designed structural walls included in the buildings to resist horizontal forces .They are mainly flexural members and usually provided in high rise building to avoid the total collapse of the high rise buildings under seismic forces. In the present work, eleven storey building 5 bay of 6m in longitudinal direction and 5 bays of 4m in transverse direction have been modeled using software STAADPRO for earthquake V zone in India. Different location and variation in thickness of shear wall are considered for studying their effectiveness in resisting lateral forces. The behaviour of building components have examined and compared in this work. Seismic characteristics in terms of displacement, story drift, and column forces have been compared with various models. From the result we conclude that, the present of shear wall at corner location with high thickness tremendously affect the seismic behavior of building.
