Generally because of the economic advantage and stable behavior in seismic loading, shearwalls combined with coupling slabs are widely used in high-rise apartment buildings. When analyzing such structures for lateral loads, however, the question of the actual stiffness and strength of the coupling slabs arises. For more accurate analysis approach, an experimental investigation was conducted with half-scale representations of the reinforced concrete shearwalls with the opening and coupled with slabs were subjected to cyclic loads. The test results of opening installed specimen, severe decrease of strength was observed. The decrease of strength of the shear walls by installation of openings shows a great deal of difference compared to previous researches. This is because flexural capacity of the slabs is working as coupling elements for the shear walls. The critical section of coupling slabs that works as coupling elements for shear walls was a little different from the results of previous researches.

The Future

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.

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

Wood shear walls are the main lateral load resisting systems in light wood frame buildings to resist the wind and seismic loads. Sheathing to lumber nail connections are regarded as the key components that control the resistance and failure modes of wood shear walls. Considerable experimental tests have been conducted on performance of nail joints or wood shear walls under both static and reversed cyclic loads. However, these tests were usually conducted under different loading speed causing specimen failure in 1 min to an hour. It is unclear how the loading speed will affect the test results of nail joints or wood shear walls. Research on these topics is limited. This paper aims to evaluate the effect of loading speed on the mechanical characteristics of nail joints. 72 specimens have been tested under various loading speeds, ranging from 0.05 mm/s to 0.5 mm/s for monotonic tests and 1.5 mm/s to 15 mm/s for reversed cyclic tests. The range of loading speed was selected based on the total estimated loading time that both monotonic and reversed cyclic tests fail within around 1 min to 10 min. Two groups of nail joints, comprising two common nail sizes and two sheathing thicknesses, were assessed under both monotonic and reversed cyclic loads. From the test results, the effect of loading speed on the mechanical properties of nail joints was determined.

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.

Seismic Forces

High rise structures with complex planning and irregular vertical elevations are trending nowadays. Such high rise structures are more susceptible to seismic forces which are quite devastating and cause a huge loss to human lives and property. Hence it is very important to study the behavior of such structure to help structural engineers to create better earthquake resistant design. The usefulness of the shear walls in the structural planning of the multistory buildings to resist the lateral forces has been recognized long back. Shear walls also dissipates a great amount of energy if detailed properly, however there are many factors such as placement of shear walls, its thickness, aspect ratio, plan of the building which affects the response of the building towards lateral loads. In the present study attempt is made to study the effect of different location of shear walls on the response of the building in terms of time period and maximum displacement. The detailed investigation is carried out for zone II of Seismic zones of India as per IS 1893 (part 1):2016, considering primary loads (dead, live and seismic loads) and their combinations with appropriate load factor. Analysis is carried out in ETABS 2016. Further a case study of a U-shaped plan is carried out, to reduce the torsional irregularity structural wall system with spandrels and seismic joints were provided at certain locations.

Tall building development is rapidly growing almost everywhere in the world acquainting new difficulties that need to be met with, through engineering evaluation. In tall buildings, lateral loads generated by earthquake or wind load are frequently resisted by providing coupled shear walls. But as the height increases, the building becomes taller and the efficiency of the tall building greatly depends on lateral stiffness and resistance capacity. So, a system called outrigger is introduced which improves overturning stiffness and strength by connecting shear wall core to outer columns. When the Structure is subjected to Lateral forces, the Outrigger and the columns resist the rotation of the core and thus significantly reduce the lateral deflection and base moment, which would have arisen in a free core. During the last three decades, numerous studies have been carried out on the analysis and behaviour of outrigger structures. But this question is remained that how many outriggers system is needed in tall buildings. (Using Staad-Pro)

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.
