Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of opening dimension in shear wall on the behavior of high-rise building structure due to earthquake load. The 20-story building prototype with shear wall placement as core wall with various sizes of opening are analyzed with the help of software MIDAS GEN, using equivalent lateral force and response spectrum method in X and Y direction. The shape of opening is square with width vary from 0.8 m – 1.3 m and height set at 2.2 m. This analysis will discuss structure’s natural time period, core wall distribution between shear wall and frame, lateral deflection, and story drift. The results show that the greater the opening will increase the natural time period by 1.72% and 1.67%, increase lateral deflection by 21.7932% and 23.5964%, and increase story drift by 24.6910% and 29.077% in each direction.
