Abstract The growing growth of human activities has led to changes in housing patterns in urban areas. The land crisis in urban areas has made land prices uneconomical, so buildings are designed vertically. One solution to resist earthquakes in multi-story buildings is to add a shear wall structure with the proper profile and layout. Shear wall designs with variations influence the base shear, drift ratio, lateral deflection, and story drift patterns. This study presents the structural response comparison of buildings against variations in the profile and layout of shear walls subjected to earthquake loads. Force Based Design method utilizing the response spectrum approach was adopted in the analysis and carried out using SAP200. Six structural models comprise a frame without shear walls, three L-profile shear walls, two I-profile (straight) shear walls. The simulation results of the overall structural models show that the profile and layout configuration of shear walls in the frame structure of a multi-story building correlates directly to the performance of base shear, drift ratio, and story drift with relatively comparative conditions.

Earthquake is an unexpected and expensive disaster for both livelihood and economy. In the modern day construction, there has been a lot of importance to make the structure resistant against lateral loads for multi storied building. Shear walls are an option of lateral load resisting system. The Concept of designing shear wall is to provide building structure with sufficient strength and deformation capacity to sustain the demands imposed by lateral loads with adequate margin of safety. The study focuses on effect of shear wall on R.C. building at different heights. For this purpose five models of different heights 15m, 30m, 45m, 60m and 75m and with different aspect ratios of 1.33, 0.66, 0.44, 0.33 and 0.26 respectively have been considered. All the models were designed for seismic zone V. For analysis purpose response spectrum method of analysis is considered as per IS: 1893-2002. The comparative study has been done for base shear, storey displacement, storey drift and storey stiffness. Utilization of shear walls when placed at corners of the building of low aspect ratio in high rise buildings is more effective compared to the low rise buildings of higher aspect ratio, as it gives the larger base shear and lesser displacement. The storey stiffness and storey drift is greatly improved when shear wall is placed at corners of the building

Abstract: Architects nowadays develop attractive edifices, and floating columns are widely employed in this process. Floating columns are used not only to provide a magnificent perspective but also when a vast open area is necessary. Edifices with irregular configurations are more vulnerable to earthquakes and hence, suitable shear wall placement is required to ensure the edifice's stability. Many multi-storey edifices collapsed in seconds after the Bhuj Earthquake (Jan 26, 2001), due to the presence of soft stories, floating columns, and mass anomalies. As a result, knowing the seismic reactions of these buildings are vital for constructing earthquake-resistant assemblies. The relevance of a Floating Column and the existence of a shear wall in an irregular multistorey building is highlighted in this study. Dynamic seismic behaviour of a G+18 irregular edifice with different locations of the floating column and different positions of the shear wall is explored in this research. The edifice is analysed and compared with the model without shear walls and floating columns to examine the alterations. The dynamic analysis is carried out using Response Spectrum Analysis and storey drift, storey displacement and base shear are calculated and finally, software compression is computed for different zones. The analysis is carried out by Indian standardized codes IS 1893:2016 and IS 456:2000 which are the codes specified by the Bureau of Indian Standards for earthquake resistance edifice design and plain and reinforcement concrete design respectively. Keywords: Floating Column, Shear Wall, Irregular Edifice, Seismic behaviour, Response Spectrum Analysis, storey drift, storey displacement, base shear.

Abstract: There are several natural calamities, including flooding. worst natural disaster – quake, drought, tornado, hurricanes, and earthquake are the most devastating. Since it leaves a trail of injuries and financial losses fear-inducing behaviors. Implementation is necessary When it comes to earthquake codes in building design, earthquakes are like a wake a wake-up call is made. Urban areas in India are seeing a growth in the popularity of medium-rise as well as high rise R.C.-framed apartment complexes with storey counts ranging from 8 to 10 and even greater than 20. R.C. framed buildings of these heights are equipped with shear walls to resist lateral loads. Thus, it's important to understand how they affect storey drift and stiffness, as well as shear and moments, as well as stress within the shear walls. In order to determine the strength of the building's shear wall, a three-dimensional analysis is performed by Response spectrum. In this study we will be using a shear wall on one structure and friction dampers on another, we will create and analyses a 30-story high-rise structure and compare the results based on the parameters listed above, by using E-tabs software.

Fragility functions have been developed to evaluate the damageability of fully grouted and partially grouted reinforced masonry shear walls subjected to in-plane seismic loading. Six damage states are considered, representing different levels of flexure, diagonal shear, and sliding shear damage. For each damage state, two classes of fragility functions have been developed. One has the story-drift ratio as the demand parameter. The other uses normalized demand parameters that account for the specific loading condition and design details of a wall component. All the fragility functions are derived from experimental data except for those developed for partially grouted walls and the sliding shear damage state. With both classes of fragility functions, the seismic damageability of flexure-dominated cantilever reinforced masonry shear walls in a four-story building has been assessed. It has been shown that the normalized flexural demand parameter provides a better correlation to the degree of damage developed in a wall than the story-drift ratio.

Abstract: To decrease the overall cost of the project, it is highly recommended dropping the cost in different manners. To make economic structure, structure without losing the stiffness standards and the cost cutting should be done at every construction stages. The dual systems in building structure consist of structural walls and moment resisting frames. The walls are made up of RCC, which is expensive material. The purpose of current study is to discover the effect of reducing shear wall area in multistorey building to decrease cost. The buildings are provided with shear walls to improve the lateral load resistance. Post parametric analysis results shows that, the reduction in shear wall area should be modified to a certain limit up to 20 % for cost cutting. But in this study, the opening areas of shear wall are increased above 20% to 36.75% and verify the results of post analysis. In this study 8 cases are analysed with 0%, 11%, 14.20%, 20%, 33.20%, 29.05%, 35%, & 36.75% opening in shear wall and analysis is perform by Response Analysis Method of dynamic analysis using Staad.pro V8i software in Zone III of multistorey building (G+18). The effects of opening in the wall are studied by considering the moments, shear, and torsion, and axial forces in the beams and columns. It is observed that after a certain percentage of shear opening in walls the building fails in the drift at a certain height. To resolve this problem the flared area of height 0.5 m at the height of failure is provided to counteract the effect of drift. It was observed that by the introduction of shear belt the drift reduces which made the structure stable. Finally in this study, the opening of shear wall area is increased up to 35% and concrete area is reduced 1170.20 m2 , which is 534.2m2 more than the previous studies.

The purpose of this research was to analyze soft second  story bulding behavior due to the earthquake load by applying column height variation. The building case has a vertical irregularity soft story on the second level so the behavior during the earthquake was analyzed by heighten the columns at the second level of the building. The behavior of building structure results the response such as internal forces in columns and beams, base shear, fundamental period, displacement and story drift. The seismic analysis is using dynamic analysis response spectrum based on SNI 1726:2012 and carried out using software ETABS version 9.7.4. The results of this research indicates that the increase of column height in soft second  story building reduces the building stiffness. So it decreases the building forces, extending the fundamental period, decreasing the base shear, increasing the displacement and the story drift. It can be concluded that the soft second  story building reduces the building resistance of earthquake load by produces the behavior approaches the collapse.

On the 5th June 2015, an earthquake hit Ranau, Sabah with a magnitude of 6.0 that caused 18 casualties and several injuries are one of the examples that show Malaysia is not safe from any seismic event. Most of the structure in Malaysia was designed not to include seismic action.  Furthermore, an area that has a high density of population such as in the central region (Klang valley) and several main cities in Malaysia has less available land to build landed housing and uses high-rise apartments as an alternative. High-rise buildings that are normally having problems with soft story mechanisms and plan irregularity which could lead to severe damage when earthquakes happen. This study aims to observe the response of high-rise buildings when under different earthquakes in the presence of shear walls. To achieve this objective two models were modelled and analyzed by using ETABS software, the one with a shear wall and the one with no shear wall. The methods used in this study were the response spectrum method and time-history analysis. In the end, the parameters observed were base shear, story stiffness, story drift, and story displacement. The observations highlighted that the effect of earthquake intensities shows a significant effect. The acquired results indicated that the building with the shear wall is more resistant and strong structures as compared to buildings without shear wall when undergoing seismic analysis.

Abstract: ETABS Stand for Extended Three-Dimensional Analysis of Building systems. ETABS integrates every aspect of the engineering design process. In the present situations of construction industry, the buildings that are being constructed are gaining significance, in general those with the best possible outcomes which are referred to members like beams and columns in multi storeys R.C structures. This paper deals with the seismic analysis of regular B+G+26 story building with shear wall and G+B+10 Story building with different irregular shapes considering different shapes of shear wall at different locations has been carried out. Which can be done in ETABS taking all the considerations regarding codes and other factors into account. All the buildings were analyzed with the same method as stated in IS 1893-Part-1:2016. The effect of shear walls on lateral capacity of the building are examined because the seismic analysis of a frame depends upon the location and symmetry of shear wall. Present study shows the shear wall improves not only the lateral stiffness and strength capacity but also the displacement capacity of structure. Comparison of results been done of different models by comparing the parameters such as story drift, story displacement, story stiffness and base reaction. Therefore, as far as possible irregularities in a building must be avoided. But, if irregularities have to be introduced for any reason, they must be designed properly following the conditions of IS 13920:1993. The complex shaped buildings are now days getting popular, but they carry a risk of sustaining damages during earthquakes.

Structural engineers routinely use rational dynamic analysis methods for the seismic analysis of buildings. In linear analysis based on modal superposition or response spectrum approaches, the overall response of a structure (for instance, base shear or inter-storey drift) is obtained by combining the responses in several vibration modes. These modal responses depend on the input load, but also on the dynamic characteristics of the building, such as its natural periods, mode shapes, and damping. At the design stage, engineers can only predict the natural periods using eigenvalue analysis of structural models or empirical equations provided in building codes. However, once a building is constructed, it is possible to measure more precisely its dynamic properties using a variety of in situ dynamic tests. In this paper, we use ambient motions recorded in 27 reinforced concrete shear wall (RCSW) buildings in Montréal to examine how various empirical models to predict the natural periods of RCSW buildings compare to the periods measured in actual buildings under ambient loading conditions. We show that a model in which the fundamental period of RCSW buildings varies linearly with building height would be a significant improvement over the period equation proposed in the 2010 National Building Code of Canada. Models to predict the natural periods of the first two torsion modes and second sway modes are also presented, along with their uncertainty.
