Abstract

Especially in recent years, there has been a marked increase in the construction of tall residential and commercial buildings. Due to this significant increase, the effects of lateral loads such as earthquake loads and the problems of providing sufficient strength and resistance against earthquakes have attracted much attention. Severe earthquakes could cause severe damage or collapse in tall buildings. Academic studies have shown that structural damage caused by the earthquake is the cause of the large displacement. Shear walls are a type of structural system that provides lateral resistance to a building or structure. With Shearwall systems, the lateral loads on the building are reduced by countering the effects of lateral loads on high buildings. Thus, the use of shearwalls in buildings could prevent large displacement and damage caused by this displacement. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects and behaviour of the shear walls, which have different placement, performance of the building under the earthquake loads. To the aim, a reinforced concrete structure with 20 stories have been modelled by SAP2000 V22 finite element program to conducted earthquake analysis of the structure.
