Design and Analysis of Shear Wall for Fifteen Story Building with Two Different Shapes

Abstract

Abstract: Shear walls are structural components that give buildings stability against lateral stresses like wind and seismic loads. Shear walls have extremely high stiffness and strength, which provide the building stability. These structural systems consist of connected shear walls, shear wall frames, shear panels, and staggered walls. These structural systems are made of reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry. The goal of the current paper work is to examine several research projects concerned with improving shear walls and their response to lateral stresses. A shear wall in structural engineering is a vertical component of a system created to withstand in-plane lateral forces, which are commonly caused by wind and seismic loads. For soft story high rise structures, which are similar in type to those built in India, shear walls resist the majority of lateral loads in the lower sections of the buildings while the frame sustains the lateral loads in the upper portions of the building. Civil engineering is involved with building different kinds of structures while assuring its functionality, toughness, and safety. The phenomena known as a "earthquake" now has an impact on the structural stability and safety. The type of building, the type of soil, the earthquake resistance technology utilized, and ultimately the location of the building with shear wall all affect how much damage an earthquake will do to buildings. Because an earthquake alters ground motion and causes foundation failure, the impacts of an earthquake strongly rely on the type of soil in which a building's foundation was constructed. Therefore, it is crucial to look at how different soils behave while building structures with shear walls. A diaphragm typically transfers the applied load to the wall. Here in this paper; we will study the structural aspects of one of the tallest RCC building, located in the high seismic zone, with 15 stories
