Indonesia is one of the countries in the earthquake region. Therefore, it is necessary to build earthquake-resistant buildings to reduce the risk of material and life losses. Reinforced Concrete (RC) shear walls is one of effective structure element to resist earthquake forces. Applying RC shear wall can effectively reduce the displacement and story-drift of the structure. This research aims to study the effect of shear wall location in symmetric medium-rise building due to seismic loading. The symmetric medium rise-building is analyzed for earthquake force by considering two types of structural system. i.e. Frame system and Dual system. First model is open frame structural system and other three models are dual type structural system. The frame with shear walls at core and centrally placed at exterior frames showed significant reduction more than 80% lateral displacement at the top of structure.

The design and detailing of earthquake resistant reinforced concrete shear walls of limited ductility designed by a modified strength design method are discussed. Suitable methods for the evaluation of actions and the determination of internal actions
are advanced, having regard to energy dissipation and the consequences of heavy damage or of collapse. Discussion is not restricted to uniform walls, but is extended to walls with openings, for which a suggested classification and treatment is presented, thus allowing for suitable design techniques for walls transitional between uniform walls and frames to be determined. Applications 
of the proposals are illustrated in an Appendix.

One of the types of earthquake-resistant systems is the concrete shear wall system, which has attracted the attention of engineers due to its good performance in past earthquakes. But some architectural constraints force engineers to install openings in shear walls; thus, this will affect the behavior of the shear wall. Many researchers have conducted experimental and finite element studies for assessing the effects of openings in reinforced concrete shear walls. However, there is a lack of comprehensive comparisons between different studies. This paper reviews some most recent experimental and finite element studies available in the literature and presents a review of the main contributions. This literature review reveals that the seismic responses and the stiffness of structures are influenced by the size and location of the openings in the reinforced shear wall.

Abstract In Indonesia, an earthquake-prone area, building designs must be earthquake resistant, and using shear walls is one of the ways to make buildings more earthquake resistant. However, determining the requirements and optimal position of shear walls is difficult. Miscalculating in their positioning can cause torsion and other unpredictable behavior. Previous studies were done to know shear walls’ optimal areas and positioning. The first way was trial and error, but this method was ineffective and took a long time. The second way, MATLAB programming, is actually very effective since the needs and orientation of the walls can be determined precisely. Nevertheless, not all structural engineers and architects master the programming language. This study, therefore, proposes relatively simple formulas and procedures to determine the optimal area and positioning of shear walls for architects preliminary design during architecture design process. The accuracy test for the formulas and procedures was carried out using ETABS simulation experiments on 10 building models with various irregular categories. The result showed the formulas and procedures proposed in this study were quite accurate in calculating the needs and position of shear walls. Optimal conditions, furthermore, were quite easy to achieve in symmetrical geometric compositions (1 or 2 axes) while organic or random geometric compositions were quite difficult to achieve. When the use of shear walls achieves optimal condition, the strength and stiffness of a building are increased, and the distribution of its strength and stiffness is relatively even, hence anticipating deformation behavior and reducing building eccentricity.

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.
