Shear walls are structural systems which provide stability to structures from lateral loads like wind, seismic loads. As shear wall resist major portions of lateral loads in the lowest portions of the buildings and the frame supports the lateral loads in the upper portions of the building which is suited for soft storey high rise building. The properties of these seismic shear walls dominate the response of the building and therefore, it is important to evaluate the seismic response of the walls appropriately. In this present study, main focus is to determine the solution for shear walls behavior in multi-storey building. Effectiveness of shear walls has been studied with the help of six different models. Model one is bare frame structural system, model two is dual frame structural system and model three is a complete shear wall structural system with internal walls in y-direction and model four is a similar model having internal shear walls in x-direction, model five is again a dual frame having columns at exterior and shear walls in interior placed in y-direction and model six is also an dual frame structure having columns at exterior and shear walls at interior placed in x-direction. An earthquake load is applied to a building of G+15 stories located in zone III, type of soil II and various other factors are considered. Parameters like displacement and storey drift are calculated in all the cases replacing column with shear walls and their locations.

Considering the increase in the current construction process and the future needs of Iran, the necessity to use high-rise buildings for reduction in urbanization costs and optimal use of land will be inevitable in the future. The performance of steel plate shear wall system as a modern global system, which has an effective application in high-rise buildings and also brings economic benefits compared to previous systems, is evaluated in this study. Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSW) are a new type of system resistant to wind and earthquake lateral loads, which dates back to the 1970s. In this research, eight samples of shear wall with various stiffening arrangements and sections with ST37 and ST52 alloys are modeled. To evaluate the nonlinear dynamic analysis, the samples are subjected to the San Fernando earthquake force and are modeled and analyzed by ABAQUS software based on the finite element theory. The results of analyzing the samples indicate better performance of the system with stiffener in both vertical and horizontal directions. Also, the use of sections with ST52 alloy has improved the performance of the shear wall by approximately 40%.

Abstract: Structural analysis is the science of determining the effects of different loads on structures. Structural stability and stiffness are a main concern in any high-rise structures. Shear walls are structural members that are mainly responsible for resisting lateral loads predominant on structures. They are mainly responsible to increase the stiffness, reduce story drift and displacement. In order to have a comprehensive understanding about the contribution of shear wall, following research is carried out. This research involves comparing two G+16 structures; one without a shear wall and one with it. The structure has 4 bays of 3m each along X direction and Z direction. In this, we will see how shear wall resists lateral sway and reduces story drift and increases stiffness. As the height increases, the shear wall absorbs more lateral load than the frame. The software to be used for analysis is STAADPro. Keywords: STAADPro, Stiffness, storey displacement, storey drift.

A multi-storey building is habitually modelled as a frame structure which neglects the shear wall/slab openings along with the inclusion of staircases. Furthermore, the structural strength provided by shear walls and slabs is not precisely incorporated. With increasing building height, the effect of lateral loads on a high-rise structure increases substantially. Inclusion of shear walls and slabs with the frame leads to improved lateral stiffness. Besides, their openings may play imperative role in the structural behaviour of such buildings. In this study, 61 multi-storey building configurations have been modelled. Corresponding analyses are performed to cope with the influence of shear walls, slabs, wall openings, masonry walls and staircases in addition to frame modelling. The finite element approach is used in modelling and analysis. Structural responses in each elemental combination are evaluated through equivalent static and free vibration analyses. The assessment reveals that inclusion of only slab components with frame modelling contributes trivial improvement on structural performance. Conversely, the presence of shear wall slabs with frame improves the performance noticeably. Increasing wall openings decreases the structural responses. Furthermore, it is not recommended to model staircases in addition to frame–slab–shear wall modelling, unless the effect of wall openings and slab openings is adequately considered.


Shear walls are a structural system which gives solidness or stability to structures from lateral loads like wind, seismic loads. The structural systems are fabricated by reinforced concrete, plywood/timber unreinforced, reinforced masonry at which these systems are subdivided into coupled shear walls, shear wall frames, shear panels and staggered walls. The present paper work was made in the interest of studying and analysis of various research works involved in enhancement of shear walls and their behaviour towards lateral loads. In SAP2000 analysis we found that when we apply lateral force between the stories the amount of compression and tension force between the stories obtained is equal to the manual analysis .In STAAD.PRO, we analyzed the light frame shear wall for seismic analysis. The estimated results for light frame shear wall with one storey, shear wall with two storey and shear wall with three storey shown similar to the results which are obtained by using FEM software like STAAD and SAP2000.

In present era, there is a huge scarcity of vacant land led to the development of the high rise structures. For the construction of high rise buildings, normal R.C.C. system is not suitable. These problems can overcome by using flat slab system along with shear wall arrangements. It is very essential that the shear wall position should be appropriate in structure so as to achieve the lateral stiffness and solid structure against lateral loads. In this work, two main factors i.e. with drop panels and without drop panels have been considered for 12 storey structures. In each factor 5 models of various locations of shear wall is taken for consideration. For stabilization of variable parameters such as storey displacement, storey stiffness and storey shear etc the seismic investigation & design of structures had carried out in software ETABS. After performing seismic investigation & design of all the structures, result shows that if we provide shear wall at incorrect or inappropriate locations then it will only increase the dead load and cost of the structure. So the final outcomes we have achieved is to provide shear walls at desired position where lateral loads are more predominantly acting on the structures

Torsion force is a load that is a applied to a building through torque. The torque applied creates a shear stress. If a torsion force is large enough, it can cause a building to undergo a twisting action. The main aim of the project is to study the effect of location of shear wall on torsional performance of symmetric and asymmetric high-rise building ,post tensioned slabs are being used in the construction of building hence the thesis also analyze these post tensioned slab structures by changing shear wall configuration. Post tensioned slab structures have weak resistance to lateral loads. so to provide stiffness to structures against lateral forces shear walls are used. A study of 30 storey building in zone III, is considered and determine various parameters like base shear, storey drift, and storey displacement.post-tensioning is a mature technology as it provide efficient, economic and elegant structural solutions for a wide range of applications. Post-tensioned flat slab could be a better option compared to RCC flat slab, in respect of the cost of project and time of construction. ETABS 2017 software is used for the analysis.

Abstract: Structural design and analysis produces the capability of resisting all the applied loads without failure during its intended life. Lateral loads mainly due to earthquake govern the design of high-rise buildings. The interior structural system or exterior structural system provides the resistance to lateral loads in the structure. The present paper describes the analysis and design of high-rise buildings with Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) for (G+20) stories. The properties of Steel plate shear wall system include the stiffness for control of structural displacement, ductile failure mechanism and high-energy absorption. The design and analysis of the composite building with steel plate shear wall is carried out using software ETABS. The present study is to carry out the response spectrum analysis of a high-rise composite building by optimizing the thickness of steel plate shear wall and to compare the results of displacement, story drift, overturning moment and story shear. The models are analyzed by Response Spectrum analysis as per IS 1893:2002. All structural members are designed as per IS 456:2002 & IS 800:2007 considering all load combinations.
