AbstractShear wall is one of the most commonly used lateral
load resisting in high rise building. Shear wall has high in plane
stiffness and strength which can be used to simultaneously resist
large horizontal load and support gravity load. In the seismic
design of buildings, reinforced concrete structural walls, or shear
walls, act as major earthquake resisting members. Structural
walls provide an efficient bracing system and offer great
potential for lateral load resistance. In this present study, main
focus is to determine the solution for shear wall location in multistorey building.
The residential medium rise building is analyzed for
earthquake force by considering two type of structural system.
i.e. Frame system and Dual system. Effectiveness of shear wall has
been studied with the help of seven different models. Seven
different types of Model is used one is bare frame structural
system and other three models are dual type structural system.
Analysis is carried out by using standard package ETABS. The
comparison of these models for different parameters like Story
Shear, Story Displacement and Mode shape with respect to Time
period has been presented by replacing column with shear wall.
building. To reduce the effect of earthquake reinforced concrete
shear walls are used in the building. These can be used for
improving seismic response of buildings. Structural design of
buildings for seismic loading is primarily concerned with
structural safety during major Earthquakes, in tall buildings, it
is very important to ensure adequate lateral stiffness to resist
lateral load.
The provision of shear wall in building to achieve rigidity
has been found effective and economical. When buildings are
tall, beam, column sizes are quite heavy and steel required is
large. So there is lot of congestion at these joint and it is
difficult to place and vibrate concrete at these place and
displacement is quite heavy. Shear walls are usually used in tall
building to avoid collapse of buildings. When shear wall are
situated in advantageous positions in the building, they can
form an efficient lateral force resisting system. In this present
paper one model for bare frame type residential building and
six models for dual type structural system are generated with
the help of ETABS and effectiveness has been check.

I. INTRODUCTION
Reinforced concrete shear walls are used in building to resist
lateral force due to wind and earthquakes. They are usually
provided between column lines, in stair wells, lift wells, in
shafts that house other utilities. Shear wall provide lateral load
resisting by transferring the wind or earthquake load to
foundation. Besides, they impart lateral stiffness to the system
and also carry gravity loads. Shear wall are one of the excellent
means of providing earthquake resistance to multi storied
reinforced concrete building. The structure is still damaged due
to some or the other reason during earthquakes. Behavior of
structure during earthquake motion depends on distribution of
weight, stiffness and strength in both horizontal and planes of

BUILDING DESCRIPTION
A building is assumed for seismic analysis that consists of a
G+12 R.C.C. Residential building. The plan of the building is
regular in nature as it has all columns at equal spacing. The
building is located in Seismic Zone III and is assume on hard
type soil. The building is 39.0 m in height 30.0 m in length and
20m in width. The important features of this building are
shown in Table 1.

MODEL AND ANALYSIS
Building is modeled using stander package ETAB. Beams
and columns are modeled as two noded beam elements with
six DOF at each node. Shear wall are modeled using shell
element. Equivalent static analysis or linear static analysis is
performed on models. Based on analysis result parameters
such as storey shear, story displacement, storey drift and the
time period is compared with respect to mode shape are
compared for each model. Following the model have been
considered
Model I: Bare frame without shear wall.
Model II: Frame supported by 2Bay shear wall.
Model III: Frame supported by L-Type shear wall at all
corner side.
Model IV: Frame supported on central core shear wall.

found that the base shear is on higher side in respect of model

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A. Storey Shear
The variations of base shear in X and Y direction
with different models considered in the study is illustrated
in
Fig. 10.
Lateral displacement in X- direction

Fig. 11. Lateral displacement in Y direction
From the graphical representation thereof as shown in
Figure 10-11, it is found that the building model 6 is stiffer
than the other models. Limit of lateral storey displacement
as per IS code 1893(part 1) 2002 is H/500.
C.Time Period & Mode Shape
The mode shape with respect to time period for different
models shown in Fig.12.
Fig. 12. Mode shape with respect to time period.
From Fig. 12, the fundamental time period is found to be
more in Mode shape 1 from model 1. The trend of time
period is less in other models considered in the present
investigation. As per IS code 1893(Part 1) 2002, the time
period should not be more than 0.1times of number of floors
in mode shape 1 i.e. 1.2 sec. The model 1 does not satisfy the
criteria of mode shape. From Fig. 14 shows the fundamental
time in mode shape 1 in model 6 this condition governs the
case time period is very less as per compared to other cases.
V.CONCUSION
The behaviors of multistoried building with &
without shear wall have been studied in present paper. In this
present paper we got the results from analysis of model for
case1 (Model I) its shows the more lateral displacement, mode
shape with respect to time period also less base shear this case
does not governs the case as per IS code 1893( part1) 2002.
From figure 8 & 9 shows base shear is more in X & Y
direction as compared other cases .Graphical representation
shown the exact result of analysis from we conclude that case 6
(Model VI ) governs the as per codal requirement.
From above results it is clear that shear wall frame
interaction systems are very effective in resisting lateral forces
induced by earthquake. Placing shear wall away from center
of gravity resulted in increase in the most of the members
forces. It follows that shear walls should be coinciding with the
centroid of the building. For residential building shear walls
can be used as a primary vertical load carrying element, thus
serving the load and dividing space. Also observed that
Changing the position of shear wall will affect the attraction of
forces, so that wall must be in proper position, If the
dimensions of shear wall are large then major amount of
horizontal forces are taken by shear wall & Providing shear
walls at adequate locations substantially reduces the
displacements due to earthquake.
