Abstract

The main objective of this research is to identify buildings with and without shear walls that adequately resist lateral load by utilizing finite element-based ETABS software that can minimize the displacement and drift of buildings induced by the earthquake and wind load. The equivalent static approach based on the IS Code was used to compute seismic loads. The results of storey displacements and drifts were obtained using four load combinations from the IS Code. It has been observed that shear walls located in the center, in the shape of a core, perform well against lateral loads. The displacement at the top of such a building is around 2.5 times less than the displacement at the top of a building without a shear wall. Shear walls near corners have the lowest effectiveness.
