Introduction:-

 Shear wall is a wall constructed to resist shear in x & z direction and which is subjected to wind and

seismic forces.

 Types:- 1) Reinforced Cement Concrete Shear Wall 2) Steel Plate

Shear Wall (SPSW)

3) Composite Shear Wall

Steel Plate Shear Wall :-

4
Details Of SPSW:-

 Steel plate exhibits high initial stiffness.

 Steel plate behave in a ductile manner.

 It also dissipate significant amount of energy.

5
 Columns act as flange and steel plate act as web

 Together steel plate wall and two boundary columns act as

vertical plate girder

 Horizontal floor beam act as transverse stiffeners in the plate

girder

Functional Aspects:-

1) Efficient in carrying lateral load induced due

to wind load & seismic force.

2) Resist horizontal story shear .

3) Also resist overturning moment due to lateral

load.

7
Advantages:-

1) Very ductile & relatively large energy dissipating capacity.

2) Very efficient & economical lateral load resisting system.

3) High initial stiffness , thus very effective in limiting drift.

4) SPSW much lighter than RCC shear wall, so less weight to be carried by

column’s & foundation.

8
5) Using shop-welded, field bolted SPSW , we can speed-up
the erection process & reduce construction cost .

6) From architectural point of view , SPSW occupy less space

than the equivalent RCC shear wall.

7) Much easier & faster to construct , when they are used in

seismic retrofit of existing building.

9
Disadvantages:-

1) RCC shear wall monolithic in construction but steel plate shear wall is

not monolithic.

2) Steel plates are more tedious for travelling & handling.

3) Additional flexural stiffeners required in tall rise building

10
Problem Statement:-
1) Analysis of G+5 storied building using SPSW for different positions of shear wall in
the structure.

2) Different load cases including seismic forces are considered.

3) Analysis is to be done using STAAD-Pro.

4) Comparative study is to be done for structures having SPSW and without Shear wall.

Time period

Case no. Along X(sec.) Along Z(sec.)

Case 1 0.90133 1.29578

Case 2 0.62532 1.02454

Case 3 0.76925 1.00720

Case 4 0.85729 1.50000

Case 5 0.85729 1.50000

28
Conclusion:-

1) Horizontal displacements are considerably reduced.

2) Max. bending moments are reduced upto great extent.
3) From all the above cases ,case 3 is proved to be the most efficient structurally.
4) Overall SPSW reduces the maximum nodal displacement upto 55-60%.
5) Overall SPSW reduces the maximum bending moment upto 50-55%.
