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.

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%.

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.

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.

The thin unstiffened steel plate shear wall (SPSW) system has now emerged as a promising lateral load resisting system. Considering performance-based design requirements, a ductility-based design was recently proposed for SPSW systems. It was felt that a detailed and closer look into the aspect of seismic lateral force distribution was necessary in this method. An investigation toward finding a suitable lateral force distribution for ductility-based design of SPSW is presented in this paper. The investigation is based on trial designs for a variety of scenarios where five common lateral force distributions are considered. The effectiveness of an assumed trial distribution is measured primarily on the basis of how closely the design achieves the target ductility ratio, which is measured in terms of the roof displacement. All trial distributions are found to be almost equally effective. Therefore, the use of any commonly adopted lateral force distribution is recommended for plastic design of SPSW systems.

The shear wall built with precast two-way hollow slab is an innovated precast concrete shear wall suitable for housing industrialization. Two shear walls built with precast two-way hollow slabs were tested pseudo-statically under low cyclic lateral loads to acquire their failure process and modes. The effect of the axial compression load was investigated. The study proved that vertical cracks along the vertical holes of the new type shear wall have been appeared to avoid brittle shear failure, and the shear wall developed integral section wall to walls-columns combination. As the results, the shear walls have the adequate deformability. The test results showed that with the increase of axial compressive ratio, crack development has been limited and the energy dissipation capacity has been improved. It also can be found that with the increase of the axial compressive load, shear capacity of the new type shear walls have been improved.

Calculation of Short-leg shear walls structural system is a multi-field coupling problem. Through the research and application of short-leg shear wall structure calculation theory, based on the national codes,the short-leg shear wall design principles are established.It is discussed for the reason of the world's first short-leg shear wall structure design formation and development research. According to short-leg shear wall force characteristics, horizonal displacement is divided into destructive story drift and harmless story drift, the formula for calculating the destructive story drift is obtained, using destructive story drift angle parameters and the change of main section height to control the deformation, to control structural rigidity to ensure the structural design rational purpose.


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

Multi-storey buildings tend to get damaged mainly during earthquake. Seismic analysis is a tool for the estimation of structural response in the process of designing earthquake resistant structures and/or retrofitting vulnerable existing structures. The principle purpose of this work is to analyze and design a building with a shear wall and also to find the appropriate position of shear wall that result in maximum resistance towards lateral forces and minimum displacement of the structure. In this study, a G+7 multi-storey building of 15 m ×20 m in plan area has been chosen and modelled using ETABS. The developed model was validated by solving manually and the results were validated in ETABS. Thereafter, 4 different new plans were modelled in ETABS located in the same earthquake zone area. These plans have shear wall concepts are implemented on the building at four different locations. Seismic, vibration and response spectrum analysis were performed on these structures. Salient parameters such as storey stiffness, storey displacement and storey drift were computed using the ETABS model. These were compared with that of the frame having no shear walls. By comparing the results obtained at different shear wall locations, the best plan with the shear wall having minimum lateral storey displacement and maximum stiffness is suggested for this location.
