Abstract
Earthquakes Reinforced concrete framed buildings are capable for resisting both the
vertical and horizontal load acting on them. However, when buildings are tall, it is
difficult to workout sizes of beams and columns. There is lot of clogging at these joint
and it is difficult to place and vibrate concrete at these places which does not
contribute the safety of building. These practical difficulties call for introduction of
shear wall. Shear wall has system is one of the most commonly used internal load
resisting system in high rise buildings. Shear wall has very high in plane strength and
stiffness which can be used to simultaneously resist large horizontal loads and
supports gravity loads. Therefore incorporation of shear wall has become assured in
multi-storey buildings built in region likely to experienced earthquake of high
intensity or high winds. There are lots of literatures available to design and analyze
the shear wall. However, the decision about an arrangement of shear wall in multi-
storey building is not much discussed in any literatures, in this study; therefore main
objective is to determine the position of shear walls in multi-storey building. An
earthquake load is applied to a building of twenty sixth storied located in zone III. The
analysis is performed using ETABS software. Axial forces, shear force, bending
moment, storey displacement and time period are computed and location of shear
walls is established.
