A REVIEW ON ANALYSIS OF G+5 MULTI-STOREY BUILDING WITH AND WITHOUT SHEAR WALL FOR ZONE III
Keywords:
seismic zones, G 5, lateral loadsAbstract
Shear wall is a structural element which provides stability to structure from lateral loads like wind load and
seismic loads. These walls are more important in seismically active zones when shear forces on the structure increases due
to earthquakes. They have high plane stiffness and strength which can be used to simultaneously resist large horizontal
loads while also supporting gravity loads. Shear walls are generally constructed from reinforced concrete, plywood/timber,
unreinforced masonry. The shape and plan position of the shear wall influences the behavior of the structure
considerably. Various research studies have been conducted on the design of shear wall and its performance to seismic
forces. In this paper we have aimed to study the comparison between the effects of earthquake on G+5 storey building
with and without shear wall at Zone III in medium soil conditions using STAAD.PRO v8i software.
