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.

Assembled shear wall built with precast two-way hollow slab is a new-typed shear wall built with precast concrete. In order to study its mechanical property, a quasi-static experiment is conducted with 1 reinforced concrete shear wall and 2 new type shear walls as the study objects. It was found that the internal and vertical joints of the wall body were vulnerable parts so that the new-typed shear wall experienced the loading process from the whole wall to the portioned wall. So, brittle shear failure can be avoided, deformability and anti-collapse performance are greatly improved, and shear capacity of wall body is reduced. The new-typed shear wall is reasonably structured, with convenient and reliable horizontal and vertical reinforcement, which leads to satisfactory vertical joint force-bearing capacity. Thus, it can be applied in practical construction.

Precast two-way hollow slab concrete shear wall is a new structure adapted to housing industrialization. To study the effect of the vertical joint on mechanical behaviors of shear walls, one reinforced concrete shear wall and two precast concrete shear walls built with hollow slabs were quasi-statically tested under low cyclic loading. The study of failure mode and failure process of specimens shows that vertical macro-cracks occurred in precast walls under loading, which made failure behavior of walls evolve from integral wall into split wall. It also shows that relative deformation formed along the vertical joint before peak load, so the ductility of walls is increased. New type shear walls exhibit good ductility and brittle shear failure can be avoided effectively.


Flat slab is a reinforced concrete slab supported directly by concrete columns without the use of beams .However; in multi-storey buildings it has weak resistance to the lateral loads. Hence this work is concerned to decrease the damage under lateral loading and to minimize the displacement. Shear wall are used to provide stability to structures from lateral loads. The aim of the present study is to analyze effect of shear wall and perimeter beam for flat slab building, and also effectiveness of core shear wall. For present work five models are studied 1) conventional slab building 2) simple flat slab building considered without any drop and column head 3) flat slab with drop building is considered without column head 4) flat slab with drop with perimeter beam building 5) flat slab with perimeter beam and shear wall buildings, each of plan size 25mX25m are selected. For stabilization of structural parameters, shear wall are provided. The seismic parametric studies comprise of roof displacement, base shear, and sequence of hinge formation .from study it concluded that the shear walls significantly increases the base shear capacity and reduces roof displacement and also getting good Performance

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.

This paper describes an ongoing research program on the seismic resistance performance of the double-wall precast concrete (DWPC) shear wall. Low-cyclic reversed loading test of three new full scale specimens are carried out based on the previous studies. The test results indicate that DWPC shear walls have higher initial stiffness, cracking load, yielding load and ultimate load. The displacement ductility ratios of DWPC shear walls are no less than that of cast-in-situ shear wall. The hysteretic curves of all specimens are plump, and the trend of skeleton curves is basically the same. The seismic energy dissipation capacities of DWPC specimens are close to those of cast-in-situ specimen. All the specimens have shown favorable seismic resistance performance.

This research is focused on modeling the behavior of reinforced concrete columns subjected to lateral loads. Deformations due to flexure, reinforcement slip, and shear are modeled individually using existing and new models. Columns are classified into five categories based on a comparison of their predicted shear and flexural strengths, and rules for combining the three deformation components are established based on the expected behavior of columns in each category. Shear failure in columns initially dominated by flexural response is considered through the use of a shear capacity model. The proposed model was tested on 37 columns from various experimental studies. In general, the model predicted the lateral deformation response envelope reasonably well.

To study the seismic behavior of Double-Wall Precast Concrete (DWPC) shear wall, three full scale specimens are tested and compared under low-cyclic reversed loading, including two DWPC shear walls and one normal Cast-In-Situ (CIS) shear wall. By observing their experimental phenomena and failure modes, contrasting their displacement ductility coefficients, hysteretic curves, skeleton curves and energy dissipation capacity, the seismic behavior were synthetically evaluated on aspects of strength, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation. Compared with CIS specimen, DWPC specimens have higher initial stiffness, increased cracking loads by 43% to 47%, and the ultimate loads increased by 22% to 23%. The displacement ductility ratios also meet the ductility requirements with value of 5. The hysteretic curves of three specimens are plump, and the trend of skeleton curves is basically the same. The DWPC specimens demonstrated a good energy dissipation capacity. All the specimens had shown favorable seismic performance.


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


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.
