ANALYSIS OF SHEAR WALL & DIAGRID IN G+14 BUILDING UNDER SEISMIC LOADS

Civil Engineering

Recent days, structures are becoming more and more slender & suspectable to sway and hence dangerous in the earthquake. Researchers and Engineers have worked out in the past to make the structures as earthquake resistant. After many practical studies it has shown that use of lateral load resisting systems in the building configuration has tremendously improved the performance of the structure in earthquake. Shear walls are mainly flexural members and usually provided in high-rise buildings to avoid the total collapse of the high-rise buildings under seismic forces. In seismic design of multistoried buildings, shear walls are most common structures adopted to make the structure earthquake resistant. These are constructed to counteract the lateral loads caused by wind load and seismic loads. Shear walls provide adequate stiffness to the structure. So that the lateral drift will be in limits. Four different cases of shear wall eccentricity between mass center and hardness center have been analyzed and designed as frame system by computer application software ETABS. The framed structure is being subjected to lateral loads (wind load and earthquake load) and gravity loading according to IS code and results are analyzed to determine the optimum location of shear wall
