COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF G+8 BUILDING WITH AND WITHOUT SHEAR WALL OPENINGS

Abstract

Present days the seismic load and wind load are the major topics in the structural engineering. In order to solve the problems in population there is a need of developing the structural models in vertical sections then horizontal sections. The reinforced concrete shear wall is one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting in high rise building. The reinforced concrete shear wall building is high in plane stiffness and strength which can be used to simultaneously resist large horizontal load and support gravity load. Shear walls are one of the major concern for designing of earth quake resistant structure than remaining methods. Now a day’s most of the civil engineers are considering the shear walls as the first option for the designing structures than other concepts depends upon the simple installation and more effective under seismic loading action rate. 

In the present study a comparative analysis is made for building models for G+8 building with shear wall opening and without shear wall opening. The analysis results like deflection, storey shear, storey bending values are compared in seismic zone V condition by using Staad Pro v8i Software.
