Seismic performance of high rise building having a shear wall with opening and without opening

Abstract

Engineers are primarily interested in determining how a structure will behave when subjected to horizontal forces, and high-rise buildings need to be sufficiently stiff to withstand the horizontal forces produced by earthquakes. Shear walls are added to the inside of the planned building in order to resist the horizontal forces, or lateral loads, produced by earthquakes and to increase the structure's rigidity. Shear walls may have one or more functional openings, such as doors, windows, and other types of openings. The size and location of openings can vary depending on their purpose. The size and location of shear walls are critical. This study uses Response Spectrum Analysis to investigate the nature of the earthquake-exposed structure and the placement of Shear walls within a G+ 10 multi-story residential building. The storey drift, storey shear, maximum permissible displacement, and stiffness of the multi-story building with G + 10 are all examined. In accordance with IS 1893 (Part-1) 2016, the study and modelling of the entire structure are carried out for seismic zone V using the well-known FEM integrated programme Etabs. In this project, the dynamic analysis is performed on medium soil for an irregular structure. It is concluded that the structure with shear walls will show better results in terms of all the seismic parameters when compared with the structures without a shear wall and shear walls with openings.
