ANALYSIS OF A MULTI-STOREYED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING WITH SHEAR WALL AT CORNER

Abstract

Shear wall systems are one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting system in high rise residential buildings. They resist in-plane loads that are applied along its height, Shear wall has very high in plane stiffness and strength which could be used to simultaneously resist large horizontal loads and support vertical or gravity loads making them quite advantageous in many structural engineering applications. It was observed that Multi- storeyed R.C.C. Buildings with shear wall is economical as compared to without shear wall. The Articles deals with comparative study of G+15 Storey building in Zone IV is presented with some preliminary investigation which is analysed shear wall at corner to determine parameter like axial load and moments. This analysis is done by using Software package STADD-pro. The buildings are modelled with floor area of 256 sqm (16m x16m) with 4 bays along 16 m span each 4 m. and 4 bays along the 16 m span each 4 m. The design is carried out using STAAD.PRO software. The main aim of the present work is therefore to make a comparative study of structural system and orientation with the shear wall at corner. There are lots of literatures available on design and analysis of the shear wall system. However, the decision about the location of shear wall in multi-storey building is not much discussed in any literatures. A study on a residential building with shear wall at corner was analysed.
