Seismic Assessment of RC Frame Building with Different Location of Flag Wall
The seismic performance of multi-storey buildings is controlled by their lateral load resisting system. In recent few years, several new structural techniques have been developed to improve the performance of reinforced concrete (RC) multi-storey buildings subjected to lateral stiffness and the excitations. The use of flag wall system (i.e. the RC walls in selected floors, not reaching the foundation) can be an efficient way to achieve this goal. The flag wall at the selected place and location checks the linear static and linear dynamic analysis and will finds the local response like Lateral displacement, Base shear, Storey stiffness, Storey drift by using ETABs software with different patterns. This study based on earthquake zone III and soil type is medium soil and building construction type is RCC building. This study evaluates the seismic performance of such flag wall structural systems used as an alternative to evaluate optimum location of flag wall.
