Abstract
Abstract: With rapid urbanization and industrialization, the demand for construction has surged to accommodate this expanding population. However, limited land availability has necessitated vertical construction over horizontal expansion. MIVAN technology has emerged as a viable solution, employing concrete instead of traditional masonry walls, particularly suitable for high-rise buildings. In this study, conventional and MIVAN structures with varying wall thicknesses is analyzed and compared using ETABS software with Response Spectrum analysis. Results show significant decreases in displacements, story drifts and time period in MIVAN structures, particularly with a wall thickness of 300mm for I-shaped structures. Additionally, MIVAN structures with 300mm walls exhibit higher story shear and stiffness, indicating better performance under seismic conditions compared to other shapes. Thus, MIVAN technology with 300mm walls in I-shaped structures offers superior seismic resilience in tall buildings.
