Comparative Study of RC Structure with and without Shear Wall
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Structural Engineering
Abstract
India at present is fast growing economy, which brings about demands in increase of infrastructure facilities along with the growth of population. To cater the land demand in these regions, vertical development is the only option. This type of development brings challenges to counteract additional lateral loads due to wind and earthquake. Recent days, structures are becoming more and more slender and susceptible to sway and hence dangerous in the earthquake. Many reinforced concrete buildings in urban regions lying in active seismic zone ,may suffer moderate to severe damages during ground motions After many practical studies it has shown that use of lateral load resisting systems in the building configuration has tremendously improved the performance of the structure in earthquake. Shear walls are mainly flexural members and usually provided in high rise buildings to avoid the total collapse of the building. Shear walls are extensively used in the buildings to resist lateral loads induced by earthquake.[2] In the present study an unsymmetrical (G+15) RC structure were analyzed using ETAB 2016, without and with shear wall at FireDuct-Lift, Shear wall at Corners and Shear Wall at FireDuct-Lift-Corners for parameters viz Maximum Storey Displacement and Drift. The structure with shear wall at FireDuct-Lift-Corners was found to be more stable and maximum percentage reduction in story displacement and drift was found out 59.24, 29.58, 62.15 and 35.70, 29.09, 100 percent respectively as compared with other positions of shear wall.
