A COMPARITIVE STUDY ON HIGHRISE BUILDING WITH SHEARWALL AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS

Hari Kishore. Y, B. K. Vishwanath

Abstract :

Shear walls are structural members used to augment the strength of RCC structures. These shear walls will be built in each level of the structure, to form an effective box structure. Equal length shear walls are placed symmetrically on opposite sides of exterior walls of the building. Shear walls are added to the building interior to provide extra strength and stiffness to the building when the exterior walls cannot provide sufficient strength and stiffness. It is necessary to provide these shear walls when the allowable span-width ratio for the floor or roof diaphragm is exceeded.The present work deals with a study on the optimum location of shear walls in symmetrical high rise building. Position of shear walls in symmetrical buildings has due considerations. The high rise building with 12 storeys is analyzed for its axial force using ETABS software. For the analysis of the building for seismic loading with two different Zones (Zone-II & Zone-V) is considered with all soil types
