1. Introduction
Earthquakes are natural hazards which cause
disasters are mainly caused by damage too
or collapse of buildings and other manmade
structures. Experience has shown that for
new constructions, establishing seismic
resistant controls and their implementation
is the important safeguard against seismic
induced damage. As considers real
structures, it is necessary to calculate the
strengthen based on evaluation criteria
before an earthquake. Structure design must
be such as to ensure that the structure has
acceptable strength, high ductility, and will
remain as one, even when applied to very
large deformations sociologic factors are
also crucial, such as density of population,
time of day of the seismic occurrence and
community preparedness for the possibility
of such an event up to now we can do little
to diminish direct seismic effects.

Nonetheless we could do much to reduce
risks and thereby reduce disasters provided
we design and build or strengthen the
buildings so as to minimize the losses based
on the knowledge of the earthquake
performance of different building types
during an earthquake. Observation of
structural performance of buildings during
an earthquake can clearly identify the strong
and weak aspects of the design, besides the
desirable qualities of materials and
techniques of construction and site selection.
The research of damage therefore provides
an important step in the evolution of
strengthening measures for different types of
buildings. The need for high rise buildings is
increasing in the country. Land in the
rapidly developing cities is becoming scarce
and this is encouraging the commercial
utilization and the construction of high rise
buildings. In order to fulfill these needs an
economical and efficient design of high-rise
buildings has to be introduced
Socio-economic development and
the high-rise building is a product of
scientific and technological progress. With
the development of places, shortage of land,
land price hike, modern high-rise buildings,
elevators invention of a more high-rise
buildings are constructed so that higher. The
magnificent high-rise building is a symbol
of economic strength has an important
propaganda effect, in an increasingly intense
business competition, but also played an
important role.
The intention of this study is
therefore, to investigate the effect of
position of shear wall in earthquake
performance while take regular and irregular
structure by comparing it with shear wall at
different position. This is going to be done
in this study work, by carrying out a
comprehensive literature survey and analysis
of 10 storey buildings for zone-II and zone-
IV earthquake zones.
Need for the Study
Reinforced concrete framed buildings are
adequate for resisting both the vertical and
the horizontal load acting on them. Shear
wall systems are one of the most commonly
5
Volume III– Issue II, March 2016
used lateral-load resisting systems in high-
rise buildings. Shear walls have very high
in-plane stiffness and strength, which can be
used to simultaneously resist large
horizontal loads and support gravity loads,
making them quite advantageous in many
structural engineering applications.
Hence, this study has been described to
determine the proper location of shear wall
based on its linear behavior. A RCC
building (10 stories) with proper plan and
elevation has been considered to carry out
this study. In this regard, Staad Pro V8i
software package have been considered as
two tools to perform. All zones (I, and IV)
in India has been considered to find out the
proper location of shear wall in the building.
Objective of this Study
The main objectives of this study are:-
o To show how shear wall performance
varies at different position in a building
frame.
o To investigate the effectiveness of shear
wall at different positions to withstand
different seismic force parameters.
o To study the simulation results in term of
stress, displacement , moment , and shear
force
2. Literature Review
Shear walls are one of the most efficient
lateral force resisting elements in
multistoried buildings. Shear walls are
incorporated in conjunctions with steel or
reinforced concrete moment resisting frame
to resist the major portion of lateral load
induced by an earthquake. A significant
amount of research work on various
structural aspects of shear walls has been
done by many investigators and till date the
structural walls are among the major focus
concern in the area of research. From the
survey done in the literature, it can be noted
that some of the papers and research work
have added a lot of contribution to this work
and acted as a strong reference for the
adopted methodology and concluding results
 International Journal of Computer and Advanced Engineering Research (IJCAER)
Muto and Kiyoshi et al (1953) have been
done relatively little research on the strength
and behavior of shear walls. Investigators
concerned primarily with the strength of
low-rise shear walls surrounded by a
reinforced concrete or steel frame and
subjected to load reversals. They were based
on the philosophy that the entire shear force
is to be carried by reinforcement, when a
certain limiting concrete shear stress is
exceeded.
Khan and Fazlur R et al (1964) Proposed a
novel design approach of combining the
frame with shear wall for soft story building
to minimize the weak story effects during
earthquake. The lateral load resistance of tall
wall-frame building structures comprising a
combination of moment resisting frames and
shear walls that are reduced in size or
terminated entirely at intermediate heights.
Yanez and Paulay et al (1992) Studied on
seismic behavior of reinforced concrete
walls with square openings of different size
and arrangement under reversed cyclic
loading. From experimental results, it was
concluded that appropriately designed walls
with staggered openings can have the same
behavior and ductility as walls with regular
openings. It was also concluded that the
stiffness of walls is dependent on the size of
the openings not on their horizontal
locations. However, effects of vertical
location were not mentioned. It was
suggested that the stiffness of walls without
openings can be used for the stiffness of the
walls with openings smaller than 10% of the
wall area.
Nollet and Smith (1993) Investigated the
behavior of wall frame structure using two
dimensional models, in which shear walls
were reduced in size or terminated entirely
at intermediate heights and obsarved that
curtailment of walls was not necessarily
detrimental to the performance of the
structures.
Zeynep Sindel et al (1996) Emphasized
that, the seismic safety of a tall building as
well as its susceptibility to non structural
damage are primarily indexed to its ability
to restrict the relative storey displacements,
6
Volume III– Issue II, March 2016
in addition to its adequate strength, ductility
and toughness. A moment resisting frame
building satisfying all requirements of
strength and ductility may still be subjected
to severe nonstructural damage, if the inter
storey drifts are not restricted properly by
means of shear walls. Several stringent
deflection criteria as well as a damage
control index are introduced to be
conscientiously determined and checked
during the design calculations for the
purpose of controlling damage especially to
nonstructural elements.
Sharma (1998) Studied on various
structural systems i.e. Moment resisting
frames, frame-shear wall and frame-coupled
shear wall, concentrically braced frame
under seismic excitation, eccentrically
braced frame and hybrid structures, using
structural analysis software SAP 90. From
the results He concluded that design based
on drift control criteria generally results into
same levels of stiffness whatever may be the
structural system and it is advantageous to
use correct combination of frame and shear
wall to get uniform inter story drift.
Qaqish and Daqqaq (2000) Studied on
effect of small openings on behavior of
shear walls and the effect of opening size on
behavior of coupled shear walls. It was
concluded that opening area approximately
less than 0.11 times the wall area surrounded
by centerlines of columns and beams can be
categorized as small openings. Comparing
vertical stresses at the base of shear wall for
each size of opening, it was found that the
effects of small opening can be neglected on
overall state of stress due to opening. It was
also concluded that the wall with opening
area less than 0.11 times the wall area acts
as single cantilever while the wall with that
greater than 0.11 times and less than 0.29
times the wall area acts as couple shear
walls.
El-Tawil et. al (2002) Studied the effect of
coupling ratio on response of hybrid coupled
walls system. The results of analysis were
examined for evidence of behavioral trend
versus the change in coupling ratio in the
system. In the study, coupling ratio (CR) is
 International Journal of Computer and Advanced Engineering Research (IJCAER)
defined as the percentage of overturning
moment resisted by the coupling action in
the couple wall system. Finally concluded
that stiffness of the system was found
increased with an increase in coupling ratio.
Kim and Lee (2003) proposed a method for
the analysis of shear wall with openings
using super elements to model the shear
wall. Matrix condensation technique was
used to eliminate the degrees of freedom
(DOFs) in the shear wall except at end nodes
of fictitious beams, added to enforce the
compatibility conditions at the boundaries of
the super elements. Static and dynamic
analyses of shear walls with various sizes of
door and window openings were performed
to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the
proposed method. Fine mesh with large
number of finite elements to model the shear
wall was assumed to be most accurate for
verification of the proposed method. Finally,
concluded that the results (top
displacements, natural period) of the method
were found very close to those obtained
from the fine mesh model regardless of the
number, size and location of the openings.
Zhao and Abolhassan (2004) discussed the
advantages and disadvantages of traditional
RC Shear walls and steel walls. They found
that composite shear walls, that is, steel
plate shear wall with RC wall attached to
one side of it using bolts can mitigate most
of the disadvantages of both RC and steel
shear walls and take advantage of the best
characteristics of the two earthquake
resistant techniques by comparing the
maximum base shear caused by earthquakes.
Han-Seon Lee and Dong-Woo Ko (2004)
analyzed seismic response on high-rise RC
bearing-wall structures with three types of
irregularity at the bottom stories and
concluded that the existence of shear wall
reduces remarkably shear deformation at the
lower frame, but had almost a negligible
effect on the reduction of the overturning
deformation, base shear, and overturning
moment (OTM).
Ozmen A et al (2006) Observed that the
external strengthening techniques offer
advantages with respect to cost and ease of
7
Volume III– Issue II, March 2016
construction. This study investigates the
performance of exterior RC shear walls
(ESW) that are placed parallel to the
building’s sides
Atimtay and Kanit (2006) Observed that
no buildings had collapsed which contain
shear walls as part of the structural system
.It was concluded that successfully designed
and constructed building should contain
adequate number of shear wall with well
detailed reinforcement
Neuenhofer (2006) Studied on accuracy of
the simplified method for calculating lateral
stiffness of shear wall with openings. Finite
element algorithm was developed in
computing package MATLAB to calculate
lateral stiffness of shear wall with opening.
Displacement of wall with opening using the
simplified method was calculated using the
relation given in equation. Then, the
stiffness was obtained as the reciprocal of
the displacement of wall solid wall solid
strip piers
Kaltakci M Y et al (2008) Despite causing
some architectural problems, they studied
the effect of perpendicularly installed RC
shear walls outside the Building. This kind
of shear walls was also applied to precast
skeletal structures with an external
Diaphragm at the roof level. They conclude
that this method has increased the lateral
load Capacity and strength of the structure
as well. The sides of the buildings to be
unobstructed for installation of new shear
walls.
O. Esmaili, et al (2008) Studied the
structural aspects of one of the tallest RC
buildings, located in the high seismic zone,
with 56 stories. In which shear wall system
with irregular openings were utilized under
both lateral and gravity loads, concluded
that confinement of concrete in shear walls
is a good way to provide more level of
ductility and getting more stable behavior.
Shahabodin et al (2008) They have been
done a comparative study on shear walls and
concrete infill’s to improve seismic
performance on existing buildings and found
that concrete infill’s have considerable
strength while brick one has lower strength
 International Journal of Computer and Advanced Engineering Research (IJCAER)
and such combination of concrete and brick
infill’s can reduces the negative effects of
brick and concrete infill’s.
R. S. Malik et al (2011) Analyzed the effect
of height on the curtailment of reinforced
concrete shear wall special moment resisting
frames and concluded that that curtailment
of shear wall up to 50% height of the
building had a marginal effect on the
distribution of horizontal story shear among
the shear wall frames and interior frames.
But height of the building has a significant
role in story shear distribution
S. V. Venkatesh, H. Sharada Bai (2011)
Discussed, the difference in structural
behavior of 10 story basic moment resisting
RC frames when provided with two different
types of shear wall as lateral (earthquake)
load resisting structural systems (LRS) and
concluded that external shear walls serve as
an alternative to internal shear walls in
retrofitting seismically deficient structures,
particularly when it is not possible to vacate
the building during retrofitting.
Hasan Kaplan et al (2011) Concluded that
the addition of shear walls to a structure will
definitely improve its lateral load carrying
capacity. This fact has been demonstrated by
many experimental studies carried out for
infill strengthening walls. However, an infill
wall with poorly designed dowels can even
improve strength performance considerably
by providing bracing effect. On the other
hand, exterior shear walls cannot improve
the capacity in case of dowel failure. The
key point of this study is that exterior shear
walls can be successfully applied to existing
vulnerable buildings to improve seismic
capacity provided that the dowels are well-
designed.
Misam Abidi, Mangulkar Madhuri. N
(2012)Discussed various aspects regarding
shear wall discussed by many of the
investigators. On adding shear wall to the
building in different arrangement in order to
reduce soft story effect on structural seismic
response in earthquake excitation. It was
found that location , number and curtailment
of shear wall acts an important factor for the
soft story structures to displace during
8
Volume III– Issue II, March 2016
earthquake from the review of literature its
shows that use of shear wall is a good way
to provide more level of ductility and getting
more stable behavior and appear to be an
novel approach to reduce effect of soft story
in seismic response .in the other hand,
vulnerability level of existing high rise
building can be increased by adding
different arrangement of shear wall on
building and it will help for retrofitting of
structure to resist the major portion of lateral
load induced by an earthquake.
Ashish S . Agrawal, S.D .Charkha (2012)
Reveals that the significant effects on
deflection in orthogonal direction by shifting
the shear wall location. Placing shear wall
away from centre of gravity resulted in
increase in most of the members forces
Location of shear wall effects on static and
dynamic axial load on the column. The
displacement of building is uni-directional
and uniform for all the grids in the case of
zero eccentricity for seismic loading. With
the increase in eccentricity, the building
shows non-uniform movement of right and
left edges of roof due to torsion and induces
excessive moment and forces in member.
Problem Formulation and Methodology
3.1 General
The growth in computer processing power
has made possible a continuous drive
towards increasingly accurate but at the
same time more complex analysis methods.
Thus the state of the art has progressively
moved from elastic static analysis to
dynamic elastic, nonlinear static and finally
nonlinear dynamic analysis.
The literature survey in the performance and
behavior of shear wall when subjected to
seismic loads suggests that the requirement
of establishing a methodology for studying
the response of shear wall to earthquake
loads has become essential. This will move
us toward implementing performance based
analysis by using nonlinear static analysis.
In the present scenario, because of the wide
range of geometry possible, the accumulated
understanding is still limited, thus there is a

5. Conclusions [4]. Arya A. S , Boen T and Ishiyama Y “

Following are the salient conclusions of the
study
5.1 Maximum bending moment
 It can be observed that maximum
bending moment is in TYPE-B
(irregular structure) CASE-1
(without shear wall) and minimum is
in TYPE-B (irregular structure)
CASE-2 (shear wall at
position)
 It is observed that irregular structure
with shear wall at corner is best as it
reduces steel reinforcement
irregular structure without shear
wall is critical
5.1 Maximum shear force
 It can be observed that maximum shear
force is in TYPE-B (irregular structure) and
minimum is in TYPE-A (regular structure)
 It is observed that irregular structure with
shear wall at corner is best and irregular
structure without shear wall is critical
