Abstract
Shear walls are the structural elements of the horizontal force resisting system .shear walls have high influence stiffness and strength and provided to resist gravity loads as well as lateral loads caused by seismic and wind. So many literatures are available to analyze and design of shear wall. However the optimum location and its effects in high rise r.c.buildings is not much discussed in any literatures. In this paper the main aim is to find the effective, efficient, and optimum location of shear walls in high rise irregular R.C building. In this present study the optimum location of shear wall has been investigated with the help of three different models. Model 1 is bare frame structural system and other two models are dual type structural system with central core wall and corner shear wall. An earthquake load is calculated as per IS 1893(PART-1)-2002 and applied to (G+20) storey R.C building in zone-2 and zone-5. The analysis is performed using ETABS 9.7.4 Software package.
