Abstract

Abstract: Structural engineers are mainly concerned with how a structure responds to horizontal forces, and suitable stiffness is required for high-rise structures to resist horizontal forces induced by wind and earthquakes. Shear walls, which are placed to the interior of the proposed structure, are used to counteract horizontal forces such as lateral stresses caused by earthquakes and to increase the structure's stiffness. The aim of this study to compare the behaviour of shear wall at Central Internal shear wall and Outer Shear wall at the corner of G+25 high rise residential building and the nature of the building exposed to earthquakes. For obtaining result we perform response spectrum analysis on G+25 high rise building to obtain following results: storey drift, storey displacement, and storey stiffness are explored. The whole structure is analysed and modelled in seismic zone 4 for a stable structure using the programme ETABs.
