TIME HISTORY RESPONSES OF HIGH RISE FRAMED BUILDING WITH SHEAR WALL OPTIMIZATION

Abstract

In the seismic design of buildings, shear walls, reinforced concrete structural walls act as a major earthquake resisting members. This paper reviews the evolution of high rise building’s structural systems. In this present study, main focus is on checking the feasibility of the new scheme ( optimal placing of shear wall positions in the structure) and its effectiveness. The residential high rise building is analyzed for seismic forces with respective positions of shear wall. Analysis is carried out by using standard package ETABS. The comparison of these models for different parameters like Story Displacement and Storey shear, Storey drifts are presented for various load cases. Time history responses for the three models with shear walls are evaluated.
