Importance of Shear Wall in High Rise Building

Abstract

Devastations occurs due to earthquakes as it causes large lateral forces in buildings. There is
need to develop various structural elements which resists these large lateral forces due to
seismic load. Shear wall is one of the most Important Structural component in High rise
building so we need to study the structural response and their various systems. Shear wall
resist the Seismic load during earthquake and provide strength. In present Study we effect of
shear wall has been done which decides vulnerability of building. In this study Ground+8
Storey was considered. The various parameter studied are horizontal displacement, base
shear, Storey drift ratio, bending moment and shear force. For Modelling FEM based ETABS
2015 software are used. We did analysis by equivalent static method and comparison of
results have been done.
