Shear wall effect on G+9 and G+5 storey buildings in hilly areas

Abstract

The design of building in hilly areas is a typical criteria since the base of the foundation levels are varying due to availability of sloped terrain only. For better safety shear walls design can give the better safety against the Earthquake damages. This paper elucidate the variation of internal parameters for G+9 and G+5 storey buildings with shear walls on 30o sloping ground. Earthquake analysis was made in E-tabs 17.0.1 software with soft and hard soil strata. The analysis for comparing internal parameters. G+9 storey building with core shear wall have higher story capacity while G+5 storey building have higher drift resistance.
