Effect of Shear Wall and Bracing on Seismic Performance of Vertical Irregular Reinforced Concrete Buildings

Abstract

the structural performance of buildings subjected to lateral forces due to earthquake excitation improved by lateral load resisting system in form bracing and shear wall system. Multi-storied structures are gaining wide popularity now days. The main objective of this project is to study different techniques for resisting lateral forces acting on structure. The seismic behavior of buildings is strongly affected by the arrangement of shear walls, the rigidity of floors and the connections of floors to the walls. Arrangement of shear walls are in such a way that they resist lateral loads most effectively. Therefore, in the present study the structural behavior of the buildings with shear walls at different locations has been investigated and compared in terms of storey drift, average displacement and member forces induced in the various members of the buildings. To resist earthquake and wind force a braced building is designed. Frames are in concentric in nature. It is concluded that lateral strength and stiffness increases due to shear walls and bracings.
