SEISMICANALYSISOFMULTISTOREDBUILDINGWITHAND WITHOUTSHEAR WALLSBYUSINGE-TABS

Abstract

To resist lateral stresses produced in the wall plane by earthquakes, winds, and flexible
parts, shear walls use a unique structural design. Structural walls are an effective means of bracing and
can withstand significant lateral loads. For this reason, it is critical to evaluate these seismic shear walls'
seismic reaction to ensure that the buildings are responding effectively. The primary goal of this
research is to locate the shear wall in a multi-story building. The effectiveness of the shear wall has been
examined using four different models. It is a bare-frame system, while the other three versions are dual-
type systems. Zone II, III, IV, and V earthquake loads are applied to an octagonal ten-story building.
Lateral displacement and story drift as well as ground-floor costs are estimated in both scenarios when a
column is replaced by a shear wall.
