 INTRODUCTION

 Initially shear walls are used in reinforced concrete building to resist wind

force.

 Excellent performance of building with shear wall even under seismic

force.

 Shear walls are now extensively used for all earthquake resistance design.

 It should have good ductility under reversible and repeated overloads.

 they impart lateral stiffness to the system and also carry the gravity load.
Basic Terminologies in Seismic Analysis And
Design

 Seismic Performance Category (SPC from A to E).

 Seismic Design Category (SDC from A to F).
 Seismic Soil Type (from A to F).
 Seismic Zone (0,1,2A,2B,3 and 4).
 Seismic Risk Category (Low, Moderate and High).
 Lateral Load Resisting System(OMF,IMF,SMF).
 Structural Walls.
 STRUCTURAL WALL

 SHEAR WALL
 Shear wall represent the most efficient structural element to take lateral
force acting on a multi-storey building and to transfer them to foundation.

 Shear wall is a structural element used to resist lateral/horizontal/shear

forces parallel to the plane of the wall by cantilever action .

 For building over 20 stories, shear walls may become imperative

(necessary) from the point of view of economy and control of lateral
deflection.

 Step:8: Detailing of reinforcement
 LOCATION OF SHEAR WALL IN A BUILDING

 Shear walls are usually provided between column line, in stair walls, lift

walls and in shaft . When design for wind loading the location of the wall
with in the building plan does not play an important role. Incase of
seismic loading ,however ,wall location are a critical factor .Under wind
loading a fully elastic response is expected ,while during strong
earthquake significant in elastic deformation are anticipated .

 For the best torsional resistance ,as many of the walls as possible should

be located at the periphery of the building as it increase moment of inertia.

Specific Material Requirements.
Special Reinforced Concrete Structural
Walls
 To reduce the relative inter story drifts due to seismic
forces acting on the multistory buildings.
 To reduce damage to the non-structural components by
controlling the story drifts.
 To reduce the columns moments due to lateral loads
and 2nd order effects.
 To provide the additional function of carrying axial
loads.
 To be used as separate walls in two mutually
perpendicular directions or to combine together as a lift
wall, this can resist lateral loads in two mutually
perpendicular directions.

Boundary Element of a Shear Wall.

 Elements that increases the strength and ductility

of shear wall.
 Placed with in the thickness of the wall or may
have large cross-section.
 These elements have larger longitudinal and
transverse reinforcement.
Continued
Coupling Beams.
 specially designed beams used to connect
shear walls/ piers together to provide
additional stiffness and energy dissipation.
Continued.
Piers.
Behavior of Shear Wall Depending on Height
to Length Ratio.
 The shear wall having height to length ratio less
than 2.0 is called low rise shear wall. In this type
only shear strength of wall is utilized.
 The shear wall having height to length ration
greater than 2 is called high rise shear wall and it
provides flexural resistance by acting as a
cantilever beam.
Requirement of Boundary Element of Special RC
structural walls.
Continued.
Effective Flange Width Of Walls.

 flange width from the face of web is taken equal

to smaller of:
 One half the distance to an adjacent wall web
 25 percent of the total wall height = hw/4

Minimum Vertical and horizontal Reinforcement
Development of Steel Reinforcement.
Design of Boundary elements
Continued

 In flanged sections, the boundary element includes the

effective flange width in compression plus at least 300
mm extension in to web.
 Horizontal reinforcement in the wall web is anchored to
develop fy with in the confined core of the boundary
element.
 The transverse reinforcement at the wall base must extend
in to the support at least equal to the development length
of largest longitudinal reinforcement in the special
boundary element.
 CONCLUSION
 The torsional effects in a building can be minimized by proper location of

vertical resisting elements and mass distribution. Shear walls should be

employed for increasing stiffness where necessary and be uniformly
distributed in both principal direction.

 Multi –storied RCC building shear walls are now fast becoming as popular

as an alternate structural form for resisting the earthquake force.
