ABSTRACT
Pushover analysis is a static, nonlinear procedure using simplified nonlinear technique to
estimate seismic structural deformations. Pushover analysis is widely used for design and
seismic performance evaluation purposes. For structural design and assessment of reinforced
concrete members, the non-linear analysis has become an important tool.
Shear wall is one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting in high rise building. Shear
wall has high in plane stiffness and strength which can be used to simultaneously resist large
horizontal load and support gravity load.
In the present study, the non-linear Static analysis has been carried out using ETABS
with the intention of identification of effective shear wall location in multi-storey building
based on its both elastic and elasto-plastic behaviour. The load deformation curves and the
results so obtained have been compared to identify the optimum shear wall location in multi-
storey building.

OPTIMUM LOCATION OF SHEAR WALL IN MULTI-STOREY BUILDING
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF PRESENT STUDY
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Amongst the natural hazards, earthquakes have the potential for causing the greatest damages. Since
earthquake forces are arbitrary in nature &unpredictable, the engineering implements need to be
sharpened for analysing structures under the action of these forces. In recent years, the term Performance
Predicated Design is being utilized as a popular in the field of earthquake engineering, with the structural
engineer taking interest in its concepts due to its potential benefits in assessment, design and better
understanding of structural comportment during vigorous ground motion. The fundamental concept of
Performance Based Design is to conceive structures that perform desirably during various loading
scenarios. The distribution of shear through the building rather than the absolute value of design base
shear is now considered of importance, as endorsed by the capacity design principles. Concurrently, the
objective of most codes is to provide life safety performance during immensely colossal and infrequent
earthquakes. Earthquake loads are to be carefully modelled so as to assess the real behaviour of structure
with a clear understanding that damage is expected but it should be regulated.
In this context pushover analysis which is an iterative procedure shall be looked upon as an
alternative for the orthodox analysis procedures. Nonlinear static analysis has been developed over the
past twenty years and as a procedure. It is relatively simple and considers post elastic behaviour, it has
become the preferred analysis procedure for design and seismic performance evaluation purposes.
However, the procedure involves certain approximations and simplifications that some amount of
variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis.
Pushover analysis is an approximate analysis method in which the structure is subjected to

monotonically increasing lateral forces with an invariant height-wise distribution until a target
displacement is reached. The pushover analysis of a structure is a static non-linear analysis under
permanent vertical loads and gradually increasing lateral loads. The earthquake induced forces
approximately are represented by the equivalent static lateral loads. Any premature failure or weakness
developed in the structure can be determined from the total base shear versus top displacement (plot)
obtained from pushover analysis. The Nonlinear static analysis is carried out up to failure, which
helps to determine the collapse load and ductility capacity. This type of analysis enables weakness in the
structure to be identified. Based on the hinge states and the failure mechanisms, the need for retrofit and
the type of retrofit can be determined.

Shear walls are vertical elements of the horizontal force resisting system. Shear walls are
constructed to resist the effects of lateral load acting on a structure. In constructions, shear walls are
straight external walls that typically form a box which provides all of the lateral support for the building.
The shear walls are broadly classified based on their height-to-width aspect ratio as tall or short walls.
The in-plane lateral load verses drift behaviour of a tall wall is governed by flexural deformation. The
behaviour of a short wall is governed by shear deformation.
At present the seismic analysis and design of a building is being assessed on performance based
approach on quantifying the deformation of members and the building as a whole, under the lateral loads
of a certain level of seismic hazard. Since the deformations of the members are expected to go beyond
their elastic ranges, the performance based approach depends on the non-linear analysis.
1.2 OBJECTIVES
Shear wall systems are one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting in high rise building.
Shear wall has high in plane stiffness and strength which can be used to simultaneously resist large
horizontal loads and to support gravity loads. Inclusion of shear wall has become inevitable in multi-
storey buildings to resist lateral forces. It is always advisable to incorporate them in buildings built in
region likely to experience earthquake of large intensity or high winds.
The study is concerned with identification of effective shear wall location in multi-storey building
based on its both elastic and elasto-plastic behaviours. Five significant researches have been carried out to
design and analyse the shear wall. However, the decision about the optimum location of shear wall in
multi-storey building is not much discussed.
In the present study, RCC frames without and with shear walls of different shapes and at different
directions and different location under the loads up to the failure have been analysed using ETABS
software. The load deformation curves and the results so obtained have been compared to identify the
optimum shear wall location in multi-storey building
1.3 SCOPE OF THE PRESENT STUDY

RC multi-storey buildings are adequate for resisting both the vertical and horizontal load. When
such buildings are designed without shear walls, beam and column sizes are large and quite heavily
reinforced and there will be lot of congestion at these joint and it is difficult to place and vibrate concrete
at these places. Shear wall may become unavoidable from the point of view of economy and control of
lateral deflection.

The study is concerned with identification of effective shear wall shape and location in multi-
storey buildings based on its both elastic and elasto-plastic behaviour which minimizes the displacement
and the storey shear. The motivation is to make it very handy to the design office dealing with design of
multi storey buildings.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 GENERAL
To provide a detailed review of the literature related to modelling of structures in its entirety would be
difficult to address in this chapter. A brief review of previous studies on the effect of optimum location of
shear wall and application of the Non-linear Static Analysis of structures is presented is this section. This
literature review focuses on recent contributions related to pushover analysis of structures and past efforts
most closely related to the needs of the present work.
2.2 LITERATURE REVIEW ON EFFECT OF SHEAR WALL LOCATION &

PUSHOVER ANALYSIS
Ashish.S.Agrawal and S.D.Charkha, in their paper “Effect of Change in Shear wall Location on Storey
Drift of Multi-storey Building Subjected to Lateral Loads 1” summarise that theShear wall systems are
one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting in high rise building. Shear wall has high in plane
stiffness and strength which can be used to simultaneously resist large horizontal loads and support
gravity loads. 25 storey building in zone V is considered for present study. Incorporation of shear wall has
become inevitable in multi-storey building to resist lateral forces from preliminary investigation 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. From
analysis it may observed from tables that displacement at the building floor at top storey has been reduced
due to presence of shear wall placed at centre. When the lift core placed in eccentric position it develops
displacement in both the direction with application of seismic force in Y direction.
From studies it is cleared that drift is increased as height of building increased and reduced for top floor.
The column which placed at the edge of the building is heavily axially loaded due to seismic 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.

Anshuman.S and Dipendu Bhunia in their paper “Solution of Shear Wall location in Multi-storey
building 2” summarise that Shear wall systems are one of the most commonly 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 to resist large horizontal loads and support gravity loads, making them quite
advantageous in much structural engineering applications. The study shows the idea about the location for
providing the shear wall which was based on the elastic and inelastic analyses. It has been observed that
the top deflection was reduced and reached within the permissible deflection after providing the shear
wall in any of the 6th & 7th frames and 1st and 12th frames in the shorter direction.
Plan of the Building with Shear walls in 1st and 12th frames
Plan of the Building with Shear walls in 6th and 7th frames
It has been also observed that both bending moment and shear force in the 1st and 12th frame
were reduced after providing the shear wall in any of the 6th & 7th frames and 1st and 12th frames in the
shorter direction. It has been observed that the inelastic analysis performance point was small and within
the elastic limit. Thus results obtained using elastic analyses are adequate. Hence, it can be said that shear
wall can be provided in 6th and 7th frames or 1st and 12th frames in the shorter direction.

P.S. Kumbhare and A.C. Saoji in their paper “Effectiveness of Changing Reinforced Concrete Shear
3
Wall Location on Multi-storeyed Building ” summarize that shear wall is one of the most commonly
used lateral load resisting element in high rise buildings. Shear wall has high in plane stiffness and
strength which can be used to simultaneously resist large horizontal load and support gravity load. Shear
wall frame interaction systems are very effective in resisting lateral forces induced by earthquake.
Effectiveness of shear wall has been studied with the help of four different models. Model one is bare
frame structural system and other four models are dual type structural system. Building considered is the
commercial building having (G+11) stories. The study indicates the significant effect on shear force and
bending moment of column at different levels of the building by shifting the shear wall location. Placing
shear wall away from centre of gravity resulted in increase in the most of the members forces. It follows
that shear walls should be coinciding with the centroid of the building. For tall building shear walls can be
used as a primary vertical load carrying element, thus serving the load and dividing space. The frame type
structural system become economical as compared to the dual type structural system can be used for
medium rise residential building situated in high seismic zone.
Chandurkar and P.S. Pajgade in their paper “Seismic analysis of RCC Building with and without Shear
Wall 4” summarize that in the seismic design of buildings, reinforced concrete structural walls, or shear
walls, act as major earthquake resisting members. Structural walls provide an efficient bracing system and
offer great potential for lateral load resistance. The properties of these seismic shear walls dominate the
response of the buildings, and therefore, it is important to evaluate the seismic response of the walls
appropriately.
For this study, a Ten-Storey building with regular in plan is modelled. These buildings were designed in
compliance to the Indian Code of Practice for Seismic Resistant Design of Buildings. Models are studied
in all four zones comparing lateral displacement, Storey drift, percentage of Area of steel in column,
concrete quantity required, steel and total cost required in all zones for all models.
From the analysis, it is observed that in Ten Storey building, constructing building with shear wall in
short span at corner is economical as compared with other models. From this it can be concluded that
large dimension of shear wall is not effective in ten stories or below ten stories buildings. It is observed
that the shear wall is economical and effective in high rise building. Changing the position of shear wall
will affect the attraction of forces, so that wall must be in proper position. If the dimensions of shear wall
are large then major amount of horizontal forces are taken by shear wall. Providing shear walls at
adequate locations substantially reduces the displacements due to earthquake.

A.Kadid and A.Boumrkik, in their paper “Pushover Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Frame
Structures” say that, to evaluate the performance of framed buildings under future expected earthquakes,
a nonlinear static pushover analysis has been conducted. To achieve this objective, three framed buildings
with 5, 8 and 12 stories respectively were analyzed. The results obtained from this study show that
properly designed frames will perform well under seismic loads.
The performance of reinforced concrete frames was investigated using the Pushover analysis5. These are
the conclusions drawn from the analysis:
 The pushover analysis is a relatively simple way to explore the nonlinear behaviour of
buildings
 The behaviour of properly detailed reinforced concrete frame building is adequate as indicated
by the intersection of the demand and capacity curves and the distribution of hinges in the
beams and the columns. Most of the hinges developed in the beams and few in the columns
but with limited damage
 The causes of failure of reinforced concrete during the Boumerdes earthquake may be
attributed to the quality of the materials of the used and also to the fact that most of buildings
constructed in Algeria are of strong beam and weak column type and not to the intrinsic
behaviour of framed structures.
 The results obtained in terms of demand, capacity and plastic hinges gave an insight into the
real behaviour of structures.
Shahabodin and Zaregarizi in their paper “Comparative investigation of using Shear wall and infill to
improve Seismic Performance of existing Buildings6” says that large number of Reinforced concrete
framed buildings are constructed with unreinforced masonry (URM ) infill walls and lack both strength
and ductility , therefore there is a great need for efficient, effective and inexpensive rehabilitation
strategies. In this study two techniques one including shear wall and the other using concrete infills were
used for rehabilitation of a five Storey reinforced concrete building with URM infill walls as shown in
figure 2.1 and effectiveness of each structural element was studied through non-linear analysis.
Figure 2.1: Location of Concrete infills

Figure 2.2: Location of shear wall in RC frame (a) Without URM infills (b) With URM infills
Results from pushover analysis on the existing five storey frame indicated that the concrete infills
have a considerable strength while brick one has lower strength. The lateral strength of concrete infilled
frame is about 5 and 2.5 times, in comparison with bare frame and URM masonry infilled frame as shown
in figure 2.2. On the contrary large displacement acceptance capabilities in brick infills are higher than
concrete infills. So Combination of concrete and brick infills reduces the negative effect of brick and
concrete infills. Masonry infills as lateral resisting element have considerable strength and can prevent
collapse of buildings in modern earthquakes. Due to the high stiffness of an infill, only a limited number
of that is typically required in a structure. Therefore, it is possible to minimise disruption both during and
after construction. In addition Infills can be used to provide supplemental stiffness for structures where
existing shear walls are inadequate. Performance of a concrete infills is dependent on adjacent element
especially columns, so premature failure in column due to strong axial forces must be considered.
Mehmet Inel and Hayri Baytan Ozmen in their paper “Effects of plastic hinge properties in nonlinear
analysis of reinforced concrete buildings7” says that due to its simplicity, the structural engineering
profession has been using the nonlinear static procedure (NSP) or pushover analysis. Pushover analysis is
carried out for either user-defined nonlinear hinge properties or default-hinge properties, available in
some programs based on the FEMA-356 and ATC-40 guidelines. While such documents provide the
hinge properties for several ranges of detailing, programs may implement averaged values.
In this case interior frames of 4 and 7 Storey buildings were considered in pushover analyses to
represent low- and medium rise reinforced concrete (RC) buildings for study. Beam and Column elements
are modeled as nonlinear frame elements with by defining plastic hinges at both ends .The frames were
modeled with default and user-defined hinge properties to study possible differences in the results of
pushover analyses.

The following findings were observed:

i. The base shear capacity of models with the default hinges and with the user-defined hinges for
different plastic hinge length and transverse reinforcement spacing are similar; the variation in the
base shear capacity is less than 5%. Thus, the base shear capacity does not depend on whether the
default or user-defined hinge properties are used.
ii. Displacement capacity depends on the amount of transverse reinforcement at the potential hinge
regions. Comparisons clearly point out that an increase in the amount of transverse
iii. Reinforcement improves the displacement capacity. The improvement is more effective for
smaller spacing. For example reducing the spacing from 200 mm to 100 mm provides an increase
of up to 40% in the displacement capacity, while reducing the spacing from 200 mm to 150 mm
provides an increase of only 12% for the 4-Storey frame.
iv. Time-history results point out that pushover analysis is reasonably successful in capturing hinging
patterns for low and medium-rise buildings, except that the plastic hinge formation in the upper
levels is not estimated adequately by pushover analysis, as observed by other researchers.
Although the capacity curve for the default-hinge model is reasonable for modern code compliant
buildings, it may not be suitable for others. Considering that most existing buildings in Turkey and some
other countries do not conform to requirements of modern code detailing, the use of default hinges needs
special care. Some programs (i.e. SAP2000) provide default-hinge properties based on the ATC-40 or
FEMA-356 documents to make modeling practical for nonlinear analyses. Based on the observations in
this study, it is clear that, although default-hinge properties provided in SAP2000 are suitable for modern
code compliant buildings, the displacement capacities are quite high for other buildings. In the case of
evaluating existing buildings constructed according to pre-modern codes, the user should either modify
the default hinge properties based on ATC-40 or FEMA-356 documents or use the user-defined hinges
based on moment–curvature analysis. The observations clearly show that the user-defined hinge model is
better than the default-hinge model in reflecting nonlinear behavior compatible with element properties.
However, if the default-hinge model is preferred due to simplicity, the user should be aware of what is
provided in the program and should definitely avoid the misuse of default-hinge properties.
Hasan Kaplan, Salih Yilmaz, Nihat Cetinkaya& Ergin Atimtay in their paper “Seismic strengthening of
RC structures with exterior shear walls8 ”summarize that vulnerable buildings and their rehabilitation are
important problems for earthquake regions. In this study, a new strengthening alternative for RC
structures, namely exterior shear walls, has been experimentally investigated under reversed cyclic
loading. Using the proposed technique, it is possible to strengthen structures without disturbing their users
or vacating the building during renovation. In this technique, shear walls are installed in parallel to the
building‟s exterior sides. It has been observed that the usage of exterior shear walls considerably improve
the capacity and sway stiffness of R.C structures.
In this study, an experimental investigation on seismic strengthening of the RC buildings by exterior

shear walls has been carried out. Structures of the two storey framed model were tested under the
imposed reversed cyclic lateral sway to simulate seismic loadings. It is observed that he implementation
of shear walls to the structural system has improved the capacity of the bare frame as expected.
Main conclusions of the study are as follows:
i. It was observed and measured that the newly added external shear wall and the connected end
columns and beams behave like a monolithic member. Minor cracks between new and existing
elements have been formed after 1% drift. Even after these minor cracks, the shear walls did not
lose their load bearing capacity.
ii. The first cracking occurred at the bottom of the exterior shear walls due to bending in initial stages
of the experiment. During the subsequent cycles, sliding shear capacity of the shear walls dropped
due to the rupturing of the longitudinal bars and in addition, shear sliding behaviour was observed
at the bottom of the walls. This had an adverse effect on ductility and energy absorption capacity
of the system. To prevent such damage, additional shear reinforcement is required at the web of
the wall.
iii. Response reduction factor (R) is an important parameter for the seismic design of buildings. In the
experimental study, the strengthened model reached yield strength at about 4 to 5 mm roof
displacement, where the base shear capacity started to fall after 23 mm of roof displacement.
Therefore, a response reduction factor of 4 to 5 can be used for E.S.W strengthened buildings to
determine the design force demand for the External Shear Walls.
iv. Application of the proposed technique to asymmetric buildings requires a carefully performed
design to minimize the effects of torsional loads by minimizing the eccentricity, which can be
compensated by an appropriate arrangement of the new shear walls. Since the model used in this
study was loaded uniaxially, it was strengthened with respect to that direction only. However,
existing seismically deficient buildings are vulnerable to seismic forces from any direction.
Therefore, buildings must be strengthened at right angles in real-life applications of exterior shear
walls.
v. Addition of shear walls to a structure will definitely improves its lateral load 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.
A. Shuraim , A. Charif in their paper “Performance of Pushover Procedure in Evaluating the Seismic
Adequacy of Reinforced Concrete frames9” summarise thatthe nonlinear static analytical procedure
(Pushover) as introduced by ATC-40 has been utilized for the evaluation of existing design of a new
reinforced concrete frame, in order to examine its applicability. Potential structural deficiencies in RC
frame, when subjected to a moderate seismic loading, were estimated by the code seismic-resistant design
and pushover approaches. In the first method the design was evaluated by redesigning under one selected
seismic combination in order to show which members would require additional reinforcement. It was
shown that most columns required significant additional reinforcement, indicating their vulnerability if
subjected to seismic forces. On the other hand, the nonlinear pushover procedure shows that the frame is
capable of withstanding the presumed seismic force with some significant yielding at all beams and one
column. Vulnerability locations from the two procedures are significantly different. The paper has
discussed the reasons behind the apparent discrepancy which is mainly due to the default assumptions of
the method as implemented by the software versus the code assumptions regarding reduction factors and
maximum permissible limits. In new building design, the code always maintains certain factor of safety
that comes from load factors, materials reduction factors, and ignoring some post yielding characteristics
(hardening). In the modeling assumptions of ATC-40, reduction factor is assumed to be one, and
hardening is to be taken into consideration. Hence, the paper suggests that engineering judgment should
be exercised prudently when using the pushover analysis and that engineer should follow the code limits
when designing new buildings and impose certain reductions and limits in case of existing buildings
depending on their conditions. In short software should not substitute for code provisions and engineering
judgment.

CLOSURE
The literature review has suggested that use of Pushover analysis for R.C frame with and without
shear wall is useful. So it has been decided to use ETABS for the modeling. With the help of the software
study of R.C frame has been done. It gives the nonlinear load deflection curve of the building.
Further from the literature study it has been observed that not much focus is placed on the optimum
location of shear wall. ETABS software package is used for modeling. Therefore in the present study, a
typical multistory R.C structure with and without shear wall is analyzed by pushover analysis.With the
help of this, results so obtained have been compared to identify the optimum shear wall location in Multi-
storey building.

DUCTILITY DEMAND
Ductility can be defined as the “ability of material to undergo large deformations without rupture before
failure”. The correct estimate of the yield point and the selection of the ultimate or failure loads are
essential for the calculation of the ductility ratio (µ). In this study, the ratio (∆failure/∆ yield) was used to
determine the level of ductility demand in the whole structure.
µ = ∆failure/∆ yield.

3.9 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The section here deals with the observations and interpretations obtained from the Pushover analysis.
Nonlinear static analysis is performed for Dual Type structural system with L shape Shear wall and it is
being modelled by using computer software. The frame was subjected to design earthquake forces as
specified in the IS code for Zone II along X directions. Pushover curves for Dual type structural system
with L shape of Shear wall for different models in X directions as shown in figures. These curves show
the behaviour of the frame in terms of its stiffness and ductility. Average base shear and the
corresponding displacement for different model (Dual Type Structural System with L-Shape of Shear
Wall) obtained from analysis are mentioned below.
 Model I: - average base shear from analysis is 25*103 kN for a displacement of 395 mm in X
direction.
 Model II: -average base shear from analysis is 39*103 kN for a displacement of 219mm in X
direction
 Model III: -average base shear from analysis is 64.86*103 kN for a displacement of 373 mm in X
direction
 Model IV: -average base shear from analysis is 34*103 kN for a displacement of 402 mm in X
direction
 Model V: - average base shear from analysis is 70.4*103 kN for average displacement of 216mm
in X direction
From the above analysis results it is observed that model V is having lower displacement and larger base
force as compared to other models.
Capacity spectrum is the capacity curve spectral acceleration vs. spectral displacement (Sa vs. Sd) co-
ordinates. The „performance point‟ is the point where the capacity curve crosses the demand curves. The
performance point is obtained by superimposing demand spectrum on capacity curve and transformed
into spectral coordinates. From analysis it is observed that the performance point attained for different
model is cited below.
 Model I: -The performance point obtained at a base shear level of 10*103 kN for a displacement of
118 mm in the X direction.
 Model II: -The performance point obtained at a base shear level of 14.8*103 kN for a displacement
of 72 mm in the X direction.
 Model III:-The performance point obtained at a base shear level of 16.8*103 kN for a displacement
 Model IV: - The performance point obtained at a base shear level of 11*103 kN for a displacement
 Model V: -The performance point obtained at a base shear level of 22*103 kN for a displacement
From the above analysis results it is observed that model V is having lower displacement and larger base
HINGE STATUS
Model-V is having considerable strength and stiffness due to the provision of L shape shear wall at four
corners. Hinges developed in Limited safety performance range (LS-CP) in Model-V (54 numbers for a
maximum displacement of 138mm) is very less as compared to other models (I, II, III, and IV). In Model-
V majority of the hinges were developed in, Immediate occupancy performance level (IO-LS) in which
structural damage occurred is limited. Number of hinges in the complete state of damage (CP, D & E) in
Model V is appreciably less as compared to other models. In model V (for a maximum displacement of
138mm) 2 number of hinges were developed in Collapse Prevention performance level, means the
structural element or building is on the verge of experiencing partial or total collapse.

Displacement (m)
Fig. 3.31:Lateral Displacement for Dual Type structural system with L Shape of Shear wall (5 models)
The Figure presented in this chapter were developed with the intent to determine the lateral displacement
for different models.In this chapter Dual type Structural system with L Shape of Shear wall (5 cases)
were considered. From results it is observed that the displacements occurs in Model II & Model V
reduced up to 45 % as compared with other Models (I,III,IV). The graphs show that generally the
displacement increases as the stiffness increases. Stiffness of Model (I,III,IV) is very less as compared to
other models (II,V). The displacement is inversely proportional to the stiffness..
STORY DRIFT RATIO
Story drift is the displacement of one level relative to the other level above or below. Story drift ratio
according to each model is shown in fig 3.32.
Story drift ratio = (difference between displacement of two stories / height of one story)
In terms of seismic design, lateral deflection and drift can affect the structural elements that are part of the
lateral force resisting system. Without proper consideration of the expected movement of the structure,
the lateral force resisting system might experience premature failure and a corresponding loss of strength.

Fig. 3.32: Storey Drift Ratio for Dual Type structural system with L Shape Shear wall (5 models)
The Figure presented in this chapter were developed with the intent to determine maximum and minimum
value of storey drift ratio occurs in different models. Expected movement of the structure can be
determined with the help of maximum and minimum value of storey drift ratio. In this chapter Dual type
Structural system with L-Shape of Shear Wall (5 models) were considered for analysis. From the figure it
is observed that the story drift ratio is maximum for model I i.e. (Dual type Structural system with L
Shape of Shear wall provide at one corner) as compared to other model. Models (III,VI) has the minimum
value of story drift ratio as compared to other models.
DUCTILTY AND AREA UNDER CURVE
In this chapter Dual type Structural system with L shape of Shear wall (5 models) was considered for
analysis. The ratio (∆failure/∆ yield) was used to determine the level of ductility demand in the whole

structure. From the results it is observed that dutility ratio for model III (7.86) is very less as compared
with other models . Ductiliy demand for model II (10.4) is approximately 25 % larger as compared with
other respective models. Ductility so obtained in this mode II is quite large, thus allowing the structure to
undergo large deformations before failure.
To detremine the work done by the force in each model Area under force-displacement curve is
computed. From results it has been observed that work done by Model III (13100 kN-m) is approximately
50 % more as compared with Model I (5730 kN-m). Work done by force in models (II,IV,V) is
appreciably less as compared to model III.

The figure presented in this chapter were developed with the intent to determine maximum and minimum
value of storey drift occurs in model. Expected movement of the structure can be determined with the
help of maximum and minimum value of storey drift ratio .Without proper consideration of the expected
movement of the structure,the lateral force resisting system might experience premature failure and a
corresponding loss of strength. As from the observation, maximum value of storey drift ratio in this
model is 9.33.
HINGE STATUS
For a Model with plane shape shear wall, majority of the hinges (432 Numbers for a maximum
displacement of 271 mm) in the model were developed in Damage control performance range in which
structural damage occurred is limited. For a maximum displacement of 271 mm, number of hinges
developed in Limited safety performance range (LS-CP) is 72, means the continuous range of damage
states between the Life Safety and Collapse Prevention levels. For a Model incorporated with plane shape
of shear wall (for a maximum displacement of 271 mm) 2 numbers of hinges were developed in Collapse

Prevention performance level, means the structural element or building is on the verge of experiencing
partial or total collapse.
In this chapter type Dual type Structural system with Plane shape of Shear wall were considered for
analysis. The ratio (∆failure/∆ yield) was used to determine the level of ductility demand the whole
structure. From the results it is observed that dutility demand obtained from model is 9.08. Ductility so
obtained in this model is quite large thus allowing the structure to undergo large deformations before
failure.
To detremine the work done by the force in each model Area under force-displacement curve is
computed. From results it has been observed that work done by force in Dual type structural sytem with
plane shape of shear wall is 5590 kN-m.

Nonlinear static analysis is performed for Dual type structural system with Channel shape of Shear wall is
being model by using the computer software. The frame was subjected to design earthquake forces as
specified in the IS code for Zone II along X directions. Pushover curves for Dual type structural system
with Channel shape of Shear wall in X directions as shown in Figure. These curves show the behaviour of
the frame in terms of its stiffness and ductility. Average base shear and the corresponding displacement
for different model (Dual Type structural system with Channel shape of Shear wall) obtained from
analysis are mentioned below.
 Model I: - average base shear from analysis is 52*103 kN for a displacement of 508 mm in X
direction.
 Model II: - average base shear from analysis is 119.6*103 kN for a displacement of 266 mm in X
direction
 Model III: - average base shear from analysis is 60.6*103 kN for a displacement of 145 mm in X
direction
From the above analysis results it is observed that model II is having lower displacement and larger Base

model is cited below.
 Model I: - The performance point obtained at a base shear level of 13.2*103 kN for a displacement
 Model III: -The performance point obtained at a base shear level of 27.6*103 kN for a
displacement of 50 mm in the X direction.
 Model III: -The performance point obtained at a base shear level of 25.6*103 kN for a

From the above analysis results it is observed that model II is having lower displacement and larger base
force as compared to Model I& II.

with the help of maximum and minimum value of storey drift ratio without proper consideration of the
expected movement of the structure,the lateral force resisting system might experience premature failure
and a corresponding loss of strength.As from the observation, maximum value of storey drift ratio in this
Model is 17.69 mm in the bare frame structure,as the storey shear drift ratio uniformly decreased with the
storey level which is considerably more from those in other dual type systems.
HINGE STATUS
For a Model with bare framed structure, majority of the hinges (216 numbers for a maximum

which structural damage occurred is severe. For a maximum displacement of 328 mm, number of hinges

developed in Immediate occupancy performance level (IO-LS) is 154 in which structural damage
occurred is limited. For a Model with bare frame structure (for maximum displacement of 348 mm) 2
number of hinges were developed in Collapse Prevention performance level, means the structural element
or building is on the verge of experiencing partial or total collapse.
In this chapter bare frame structure without shear wall was considered for analysis. The ratio (∆failure/∆
yield) was used to determine the level of ductility demand in the whole structure. From the results it is
observed that dutility ratio obtained from model is9.23.

CHAPTER 7
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 GENERAL
In the present study, the non-linear response of RCC frame using ETABS under the loading has been
carried out with the intention to study the relative importance of shearwall and to identify theoptimum
location of shear wall in multi-storey building.
7.2 CONCLUSIONS
The pushover analysis is a simple way to investigate the nonlinear behavior of the buildings. Eleven
storey RC frame structure with and without shear wall is being modelled using ETABS software. The
selection of building configuration is basically done as per IS: 456 and the loading details are taken as per
IS: 875 provisions. From the results it is clear that shear wall frame interaction systems are very effective
in resisting lateral forces induced by earthquake. Placing the shear wall away from center of gravity
results in a decrease in displacements. Changing the position of shear wall will affect the attraction of
forces, so that wall must be in proper position.
i. The Top deflection is reduced and is within the permissible deflection as per IS-456 provision for
the dual type system with channel type shear wall compared to other strutures incorporated with
typical types of shear wall systems.
ii. Drift ratio is very small in lower stories and reaches a maximum in the middile stories and again
reaches a low value towards the top. In some cases (Bare frame model, dual system with L shape
shear wall-Model I, Dual system with channel shape shear wall-Model I) top drift ratio is much
less as compared to bottom. In the bare frame without shear wall, drift ratio uniformly decreases
towards the top. The drift ratio is within the permissible limit as per ATC-40
iii. Most effective location of the shear wall is when it is farther away from centre of gravity. It also
reduce the effect due to torsion of the floor plan.
iv. Amongst the various strutures incorporated with typical types of shear wall systems, Dual type
system with Channel shape shear wall provided at periphery is having considerable strength and
stiffness. Hinges developed in Limited safety performance range in Model III (dual system with
channel shape of shear wall) is appreciably very less as compared to other models incorporated
with L shape or Plane shape shear wall. Large yielding towards upper stories is very less in dual
system with channel shape of shear wall (Model III) as compared to other models.
v. Ductilty demand obatined from every model is quite large and this should not be mistaken for
member ductility. As the demanded ductility is within the elastic limit, ductility ratio for dual type
system with channel shape shear wall (Model III) is quite small.
vi. Work done by the force indual type system with channel type shear wall (Model III) is quite small
as compared to the other models. Dual type system with channel shape shear wall provided at the
periphery shows a response which is within the elastic limit. Due to high stiffness and strength of
the channel shape shear wall provided around the periphery, yielding in this model is very less as
compared to other models incorporated with L shape or Plane shape shear wall.
7.3 FUTURE WORK
Future work has to be done to obatin Member ductilities. It will help to obtain more detailed design for
Top Expendable stories.

PUSHOVER ANALYSIS (NON LINEAR STATIC ANALYSIS)
OVERVIEW
Pushover Analysis option will allow engineers to perform pushover analysis as per
FEMA -356 and ATC-40. Pushover analysis is a static, nonlinear procedure using simplified
nonlinear technique to estimate seismic structural deformations. It is an incremental static
analysis used to determine the force-displacement relationship, or the capacity curve, for a
structure or structural element. The analysis involves applying horizontal loads, in a
prescribed pattern, to the structure incrementally, i.e. pushing the structure and plotting the
total applied shear force and associated lateral displacement at each increment, until the
structure or collapse condition. (Sermin, 2005).
BACKGROUND
Nonlinear static analysis, or pushover analysis, has been developed over the past
twenty years and has become the preferred analysis procedure for design and seismic
performance evaluation purposes as the procedure is relatively simple and considers post-
elastic behaviour. However, the procedure involves certain approximations and
simplifications that some amount of variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand
prediction of pushover analysis. But certain limitations are associated with traditional
pushover analysis.
Improved pushover procedures have been proposed to overcome the certain limitations of
traditional pushover procedures. However, the improved procedures are mostly
computationally demanding and conceptually complex that use of such procedures is
impractical in engineering profession and codes. As traditional pushover analysis is widely
used for design and seismic performance evaluation purposes.
A predefined lateral load pattern which is distributed along the building height is then
applied. The lateral forces are increased until some members yield. The structural model is
modified to account for the reduced stiffness of yielded members and lateral forces are again
increased until additional members yield. The process is continued until a control
displacement at the top of building reaches a certain level of deformation or structure

becomes unstable. The roof displacement is plotted with base shear to get the global capacity
curve.
The purpose of pushover analysis is to evaluate the expected performance of
structural systems by estimating performance of a structural system by estimating its strength
and deformation demands in design earthquakes by means of static inelastic analysis, and
comparing these demands to available capacities at the performance levels of interest. The
evaluation is based on an assessment of important performance parameters, including global
drift, Interstorey drift, and inelastic element deformations
Pushover analysis can be performed as force-controlled or displacement-controlled. In

force-controlled pushover procedure, full load combination is applied as specified, i.e., force-
controlled procedure should be used when the load is known (such as gravity loading). Also,
in force-controlled pushover procedure some numerical problems that affect the accuracy of
results occur since target displacement may be associated with a very small positive or even a
negative lateral stiffness because of the development of mechanisms.
Pushover analysis has been the preferred method for seismic performance evaluation
of structures by the major rehabilitation guidelines and codes because it is conceptually and
computationally simple. Pushover analysis allows tracing the sequence of yielding and failure
on member and structural level as well as the progress of overall capacity curve of the
structure (Girgin, 2007).The nonlinear static procedure or pushover analysis is increasingly
used to establish the estimations of seismic demands for building structures. Since structures
exhibit nonlinear behaviour during earthquakes, using the nonlinear analysis is inevitable to
observe whether the structure is meeting the desirable performance or not.
Pushover analysis is a technique by which a computer model of the building is

subjected to a lateral load of a certain shape (i.e., inverted triangular or uniform). The
intensity of the lateral load is slowly increased and the sequence of cracks, yielding, plastic
hinge formation, and failure of various structural components is recorded. Pushover analysis
can provide a significant insight into the weak links in seismic performance of a structure. A
series of iterations are usually required during which, the structural deficiencies observed in
one iteration, are rectified and followed by another. This iterative analysis and design process
continues until the design satisfies pre-established performance criteria. The performance

criteria for pushover analysis are generally established as the desired state of the building
given roof-top or spectral displacement amplitude.
Pushover analysis is a performance based analysis. According to ATC 40, there are
two key elements of a performance-based design procedure - demand and capacity. Demand
is the representation of earthquake ground motion or shaking that the building is subjected to.
In nonlinear static analysis procedures, demand is represented by an estimation of the
displacements or deformations that the structure is expected to undergo. Capacity is a
representation of the structure‟s ability to resist the seismic demand. The performance is
dependent on the manner that the capacity is able to handle the demand. In other words, the
structure must have the capacity to resist demands of the earthquake such that the
performance of the structure is compatible with the objectives of the design.
PURPOSE OF DOING PUSHOVER ANALYSIS
The pushover is expected to provide information on many response characteristics

that cannot be obtained from an elastic static or dynamic analysis. The purpose of pushover
analysis is to evaluate the expected performance of structural systems by estimating
performance of a structural system by estimating its strength and deformation demands in
design earthquakes by means of static inelastic analysis, and comparing these demands to
available capacities at the performance levels of interest.
The evaluation is based on an assessment of important performance parameters,
including global drift, Interstorey drift, inelastic element deformations (either absolute or
normalized with respect to a yield value), deformations between elements, and element
connection forces (for elements and connections that cannot sustain inelastic deformations
The following are the examples of such response characteristics:
 Consequences of the strength deterioration of individual elements on behaviour of the
structural system.
 Identification of the critical regions in which the deformation demands are expected to
be high and that have to become the focus through detailing.
 Estimates of the inter-Storey drifts that account for strength or stiffness discontinuities
and that may be used to control the damages.

3.6 BUILDING PERFORMANCE LEVELS AND RANGES (ATC, 1997a)
The ATC-40 and FEMA-273 documents have developed modelling procedures, acceptance
criteria and analysis procedures for pushover analysis. These documents define force-
deformation criteria for hinges used in pushover analysis. Seismic performance of a structure
is described by designating the maximum allowable damage state for an identified seismic
hazard. ATC-40 describes standard performance levels for structural and non-structural
systems and several commonly used combinations of structural and non-structural levels as
(a) Operational, (b) Immediate occupancy, (c) Damage control, (d) Life safety, (e) Structural
stability and (f) Not considered.
The performance level of a building is determined based up on its function and importance.
Structures like hospital buildings, telecommunication centres, transportation facilities etc. are
expected to have a performance level of operational or immediate occupancy for an identified
seismic hazard that can occur for the structure. Meanwhile a residential building must have a
performance level of damage control or life safety.
Temporary structures or unimportant buildings or structures came under the performance

level of structural stability or sometimes are not considered. The force deformation
relationship as well as the performance levels of a structure as well as a structural element is
given in fig 1.
Fig.1. Force-Deformation relationship of a typical plastic hinge (FEMA 356)

3.6.1 PERFORMANCE LEVEL: the intended post-earthquake condition of a building; a

well-defined point on a scale measuring how much loss is caused by earthquake damage. In
addition to casualties, loss may be in terms of property and operational capability.
3.6.2 PERFORMANCE RANGE: a range or band of performance, rather than a discrete

level.
DESIGNATIONS OF PERFORMANCE LEVELS AND RANGES: Performance is

separated into descriptions of damage of structural and non-structural systems; structural
designations are S-1 through S-5 and non-structural designations are N-A through N-D.
BUILDING PERFORMANCE LEVEL
The combination of a Structural Performance Level and a Non-structural Performance Level

to form a complete description of an overall damage level.
Fig. 2: Building Performance Level (ATC, 1997a)

Methods and design criteria to achieve several different levels and ranges of seismic
performance are defined. The four Building Performance Levels are Collapse Prevention,
Life Safety, Immediate Occupancy, and Operational. These levels are discrete points on a
continuous scale describing the building‟s expected performance, or alternatively, how much
damage, economic loss, and disruption may occur.
Each Building Performance Level is made up of a Structural Performance Level that

describes the limiting damage state of the structural systems and a Non-structural
Performance Level that describes the limiting damage state of the non-structural systems.
Three Structural Performance Levels and four Non-structural Performance Levels are used to
form the four basic Building Performance Levels listed above. Other structural and non-
structural categories are included to describe a wide range of seismic rehabilitation intentions.
The three Structural Performance Levels and two Structural Performance Ranges consist of:
 S-1: Immediate Occupancy Performance Level

 S-2: Damage Control Performance Range (extends between Life Safety and
Immediate Occupancy Performance Levels)
 S-3: Life Safety Performance Level
 S-4: Limited Safety Performance Range (extends between Life Safety and Collapse
Prevention Performance Levels)
 S-5: Collapse Prevention Performance Level
In addition, there is the designation of S-6, Structural Performance Not Considered, to cover
the situation where only non-structural improvements are made.
The four Non-structural Performance Levels are:
 N-A: Operational Performance Level

 N-B: Immediate Occupancy Performance Level
 N-C: Life Safety Performance Level
 N-D: Hazards Reduced Performance Level
Building performance is a combination of the performance of both structural and non-

structural components. Independent performance definitions are provided for structural and

non-structural components. Structural performance levels are identified by both a name and
numerical designator. Non-structural performance levels are identified by a name and
alphabetical designator
 STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE LEVELS (ATC, 1997a)
IMMEDIATE OCCUPANCY PERFORMANCE LEVEL (S-1)
Structural Performance Level S-1, Immediate Occupancy, means the post-earthquake

damage state in which only very limited structural damage has occurred. The basic vertical
and lateral-force-resisting systems of the building retain nearly all of their pre-earthquake
strength and stiffness. The risk of life threatening injury as a result of structural damage is
very low, and although some minor structural repairs may be appropriate, these would
generally not be required prior to re-occupancy.
DAMAGE CONTROL PERFORMANCE RANGE (S-2)
Structural Performance Range S-2, Damage Control, means the continuous range of
damage states that entail less damage than that defined for the Life Safety level, but more
than that defined for the Immediate Occupancy level. Design for Damage Control
performance may be desirable to minimize repair time and operation interruption; as a partial
means of protecting valuable equipment and contents; or to preserve important historic
features when the cost of design for Immediate Occupancy is excessive.
Acceptance criteria for this range may be obtained by interpolating between the
values provided for the Immediate Occupancy (S-1) and Life Safety (S-3) levels.
LIFE SAFETY PERFORMANCE LEVEL (S-3)
Structural Performance Level S-3, Life Safety, means the post-earthquake damage
state in which significant damage to the structure has occurred, but some margin against
either partial or total structural collapse remains. Some structural elements and components
are severely damaged, but this has not resulted in large falling debris hazards, either within or
outside the building. Injuries may occur during the earthquake; however, it is expected that
the overall risk of life-threatening injury as a result of structural damage is low. It should be
possible to repair the structure; however, for economic reasons this may not be practical.

LIMITED SAFETY PERFORMANCE RANGE (S-4)
Structural Performance Range S-4, Limited Safety, means the continuous range of
damage states between the Life Safety and Collapse Prevention levels. Design parameters for
this range may be obtained by interpolating between the values provided for the Life Safety
(S-3) and Collapse Prevention (S-5) levels.
COLLAPSE PREVENTION PERFORMANCE LEVEL (S-5)
Structural Performance Level S-5, Collapse Prevention, means the building is on the
verge of experiencing partial or total collapse. Substantial damage to the structure has
occurred, potentially including significant degradation in the stiffness and strength of the
lateral force resisting system, large permanent lateral deformation of the structure and to
more limited extent degradation in vertical-load-carrying capacity.
However, all significant components of the gravity load resisting system must
continue to carry their gravity load demands. Significant risk of injury due to falling hazards
from structural debris may exist. The structure may not be technically practical to repair and
is not safe for reoccupancy, as aftershock activity could induce collapse.
 NONSTRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE LEVELS (ATC, 1997a)
OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE LEVEL (N-A)
Non-structural Performance Level A, Operational, means the post-earthquake damage

state of the building in which the non-structural components are able to support the building‟s
intended function. At this level, most non-structural systems required for normal use of the
building including lighting, plumbing, etc. are functional, although minor repair of some
items may be required. This performance level requires considerations beyond those that are
normally within the sole province of the structural engineer.
IMMEDIATE OCCUPANCY LEVEL (N-B)
Non-structural Performance Level B, Immediate Occupancy, means the post-

earthquake damage state in which only limited non-structural damage has occurred. Basic
access and life safety systems, including doors, stairways, elevators, emergency lighting, fire
alarms, and suppression systems.
Presuming that the building is structurally safe, it is expected that occupants could

safely remain in the building, although normal use may be impaired and some clean up may
be required. In general, components of mechanical and electrical systems in the building are
structurally secured and should be able to function if necessary utility service is available.
However, some components may experience misalignments or internal damage and be non-
operable. Power, water, natural gas, communications lines, and other utilities required for
normal building use may not be available. The risk of life-threatening injury due to non-
structural damage is very low.
LIFE SAFETY LEVEL (N-C)
Non-structural Performance Level C, Life Safety, is the post-earthquake damage state

in which potentially significant and costly damage has occurred to non-structural components
but they have not become dislodged and fallen, threatening life safety either within or outside
the building. Egress routes within the building are not extensively blocked. While injuries
may occur during the earthquake from the failure of non-structural components, it is expected
that, overall, the risk of life-threatening injury is very low. Restoration of the non-structural
components may take extensive effort.
HAZARDS REDUCED LEVEL (N-D)
Non-structural Performance Level D, Hazards Reduced, represents a post-earthquake

damage state level in which extensive damage has occurred to non-structural components, but
large or heavy items that pose a falling hazard to a number of people such as parapets,
cladding panels, heavy plaster ceilings, or storage racks are prevented from falling. While
isolated serious injury could occur from falling debris, failures that could injure large
numbers of persons either inside or outside the structure should be avoided. Exits, fire
suppression systems, and similar life-safety issues are not addressed in this performance
level.
PLASTIC ANALYSIS
An elastic analysis does not give information about the loads that will actually collapse a
structure. An indeterminate structure may sustain loads greater than the load that first causes
a yield to occur at any point in the structure. In fact, a structure will stand as long as it is able
to find redundancies to yield. It is only when a structure has exhausted all of its redundancies
will extra load causes it to fail. Plastic analysis is the method through which the actual failure

load of a structure is calculated, and as will be seen, this failure load can be significantly
greater than the elastic load capacity.
PLASTIC HINGE MECHANISM
Plastic hinge is used to describe the deformation of a section of a beam where plastic
bending occurs. Formation of a plastic hinge at the face of the column results in yielding of
beam reinforcing bars at the face of the column and in the beam-column joint, as well.
Yielding of the reinforcing bars in the joint core results in bond deterioration between the
reinforcing bars and the surrounding concrete. This causes the deterioration of the stiffness
and strength of the joints.
In plastic limit analysis of structural members subjected to bending, it is assumed that

an abrupt transition from elastic to ideally plastic behaviour occurs at a certain value of
moment, known as plastic moment (Mp).Note that once the plastic moment capacity is
reached, the section can rotate freely – that is, it behaves like a hinge, except with moment of
at the hinge. This is termed a plastic hinge, and is the basis for plastic analysis. At the plastic
hinge stresses remain constant, but strains and hence rotations can increase. Plastic hinges
occur in the sections that have bending moments that exceed the nominal bending moment
associated with yielding of the section.
Fig. 3: Plastic Hinge Formation
Plastic hinge formation mechanisms have been obtained at the displacement points
corresponding to global yielding and ultimate displacements. The global yielding point
corresponds to the displacement on the capacity curve where the system starts to soften.
Whenever plastic hinge forms in the structure, equilibrium is obtained. As the result the
degree of static indeterminacy reduces by one with the formation of one plastic hinge.

CAPACITY SPECTRUM
INTRODUCTION TOCAPACITY SPECTRUM
The CSM was first introduced in the 1970s as a rapid evaluation procedure in a pilot project
for assessing seismic vulnerability of buildings at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (Freeman
et al., 1975). In the 1980s, it was used as a procedure to find a correlation between earthquake
ground motion and building performance (ATC, 1982). The method was also developed into
a design verification procedure for the Tri-services (Army, Navy, and Air Force) “Seismic
Design Guidelines for Essential Buildings” manual (Freeman et al., 1984; Army, 1986). The
procedure compares the capacity of the structure (in the form of a pushover curve) with the
demands on the structure (in the form of a response spectrum). The graphical intersection of
the two curves approximates the response of the structure. In order to account for non-linear
inelastic behaviour of the structural system, effective viscous damping values are applied to
the linear-elastic response spectrum similar to an inelastic response spectrum
CAPACITY SPECTRUM METHOD (CSM)
Capacity Spectrum Method is extensively employed compared to other Non Linear Static
Procedures due to its visual and graphical nature, and its ability to provide rapid assessment
of the relationship between supply and demand. Capacity Spectrum Method is used to
determine the displacement demand imposed on a structure which is expected to deform
beyond its elastic range. The Capacity Spectrum Method (CSM), a performance-based
seismic analysis technique, can be used for a variety of purposes such as rapid evaluation of a
large inventory of buildings, design verification for new construction of individual buildings,
evaluation of an existing structure to identify damage states, and correlation of damage states
of buildings to various amplitudes of ground motion. The procedure compares the capacity of
the structure (in the form of a pushover curve) with the demands on the structure (in the form
of response spectra). The graphical intersection of the two curves approximates the response
of the structure. In order to account for non-linear inelastic behaviour of the structural system,
effective viscous damping values are applied to linear-elastic response spectra similar to
inelastic response spectra.
By converting the base shears and roof displacements from a non-linear pushover to
equivalent spectral accelerations and displacements and superimposing an earthquake

demand curve, the non-linear pushover becomes a capacity spectrum. The earthquake
demand curve is represented by response spectra, plotted with different levels of “effective”
or “surrogate” viscous damping (e.g. 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and sometimes 30% to
approximate the reduction in structural response due to the increasing levels of damage).
Capacity spectrum method as a tool for estimating and visualizing the likely behaviour of the
structure under a given earthquake in a simple graphical manner. By formatting the results in
the acceleration-displacement response-spectrum format (Mahaney, 1993) in lieu of the
traditional spectral acceleration (Sa) versus period (T) format, the graphical and intuitive
nature of the capacity spectrum method become even more apparent.
The Acceleration} Displacement Response Spectrum (ADRS) format is used, in which

spectral accelerations are plotted against spectral displacements, with the periods „T‟
represented by radial lines. The intersection of the capacity spectrum and the demand
spectrum provides an estimate of the inelastic acceleration (strength) and displacement
demand.
Fig.4: Capacity spectrum
By means of a graphical procedure, the capacity spectrum method compares the capacity of a
structure with the demands of earthquake ground motion on it. The graphical presentation
makes possible a visual evaluation of how the structure will perform when subjected to
earthquake ground motion. The method is easy to understand. The capacity of the structure is
represented by a force-displacement curve, obtained by non-linear static (pushover) analysis.
The base shear forces and roof displacements are converted to the spectral accelerations and

spectral displacements of an equivalent Single-Degree-Of-Freedom (SDOF) system,

respectively. These spectral values define the capacity spectrum.
CONVERSION TO ADRS SPECTRA
Application of the capacity spectrum technique requires both the demand response spectra
and structural capacity (or Pushover) curve can be plotted in the spectral acceleration vs.
spectral displacement domain. Spectra plotted in the format are known as Acceleration –
Displacement Response Spectra (ADRS) after Mahoney, 1993.
Every point on a response spectrum has associated with it a unique Spectral acceleration S a,
Spectral velocity Sv, Spectral displacement Sd and Period T. Convert the design spectrum
from the standard pseudo acceleration, (Sa/g), versus natural period Tn, format to ADRS
(Acceleration Demand Response Spectrum) curve.

Figure 5. Response spectra in Traditional and ADRS Formats
Develop the capacity spectrum from the capacity (or pushover) curve, Convert the pushover
curve to a capacity diagram. This is for performance evaluation of building. Base shear is
calculated using seismic coefficient in equivalent static analysis. Any point (V-Δ roof) on the
capacity curve is converted to the corresponding points Sa vs. Sd on the capacity spectrum
using the equations

V = Ah*W…………………………………………………………….……………………….......... (i)
………………………………………………………………….… (ii)
…………………………………………….. (iii)
Where
α = modal mass coefficient
PF = modal participation factors for the first natural mode of the structure
Φ roof = roof level amplitude of the first mode.
α = modal mass coefficient for the first natural mode
V = base shear

W = building dead weight plus likely live load
S a = spectral acceleration
S d = spectral displacement
Once the capacity curve and demand displacements are defined a performance check can be
done. Performance check verifies that structural and non-structural components are not
damaged beyond acceptable limits of performance objective.
REQUIRED COMPONENTS OF THE CSM
The two essential components of CSM are the capacity and demand diagrams. Capacity
diagrams are obtained through conversion from the widely used pushover curves which are
characteristic nonlinear lateral force-displacement relationships for structures. So as to
perform CSM, capacity and demand curves are needed to be represented in Acceleration-
Displacement (AD) format, also called Acceleration-Displacement-Response Spectrum
(ADRS)
As opposed to a traditional spectrum, in AD format the horizontal axis shows spectral

displacement whereas the period is represented by radial lines drawn from the origin to any
point on the demand or capacity diagrams. Idealization of capacity diagrams is required for
structural assessment using CSM, this is achieved with bilinear representations. The equal
energy rule, i.e. same area under the actual curve and its bilinear representation, is used here
and elastic stiffness is taken as the initial tangent stiffness of the original capacity diagram.
Fig.6: Bilinear representation of capacity diagram using equal energy principle.

DEMAND SPECTRUM AND PERFORMANCE POINT
The spectral acceleration and spectral displacement, as calculated from the linear elastic
response spectrum for a certain damping (initial value 5%), is plotted in the Acceleration
Displacement Response Spectrum (ADRS) format. With increasing on-linear deformation of
the components, the equivalent damping and the natural period increase. The spectral
acceleration and displacement values can be modified from the 5% damping curve by
multiplying a factor corresponding to the effective damping (refer Table 3, IS 1893:2002).
Thus, the instantaneous spectral acceleration and displacement point (demand point) shifts to
a different response spectrum for higher damping.
The locus of the demand points in the ADRS plot is referred to as the demand spectrum. The
demand spectrum corresponds to the inelastic deformation of the building.
Performance point
The „performance point‟ is the point where the capacity curve crosses the demand curves. If
the performance point exists and the damage state at this point is acceptable, the building
satisfies the target performance level. The output from the analysis contains the pushover
curve, the demand and capacity spectra curves.

SHEAR WALL
Shear wall is one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting in high rise building.
Shear wall has high in plane stiffness and strength which can be used to simultaneously resist
large horizontal load and support gravity load. To resist lateral force due to wind and
earthquakes R.C shear walls are used in building. They are normally provided between
column lines, in stair wells, lift wells, in shafts that house other utilities. Shear wall provide
lateral load resisting by transferring the wind or earthquake load to foundation. Besides, they
impart lateral stiffness to the system and also carry gravity loads.
They are commonly used in tall building to avoid collapse of buildings. Shear wall may
become inevitable from the point of view of economy and control of lateral deflection. When
shear wall are situated in advantageous positions in the building they can form an efficient
lateral force resisting system. Many building codes instruct the use of such walls to make
homes safer and more stable
.
Fig.7: Reinforced concrete shear walls in buildings
In addition to the weight of structure and occupants, create powerful twisting (torsional)
forces. These forces can literally tear (shear) a building apart. Reinforcing a frame by

attaching or placing a rigid wall inside it maintains the shape of the frame and prevents
rotation at the joints.
FUNCTIONS OF A SHEAR WALL

Shear walls must provide the adequate lateral strength to withstand horizontal
earthquake forces. When shear walls are strong enough, they will transfer these horizontal
forces to the next element in the load path below them. These other components in the load
path may be other shear walls, floors, foundation walls, slabs or footings
Shear walls also provide adequate lateral stiffness to prevent the roof or floor from excessive
side-sway. When shear walls are stiff enough, Shear wall will prevent floor and roof framing
members from moving off their supports. Also, buildings that are sufficiently stiff will
usually suffer less non-structural damage.
PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING SHEAR WALLS
Shear walls are not only designed to resist gravity / vertical loads (due to its self-
weight and other living / moving loads), but they are also used to provide firmness to the
structure. The walls are structurally incorporated with diaphragms and other lateral walls
running across at right angles, thereby giving the three dimensional stability for the building
structures.

Walls have to resist the uplift forces caused by the pull of the wind. Walls have to resist the
shear forces that endeavour to push the walls over. Walls have to resist the lateral force of the
wind that endeavours to push the walls in and pull them away from the building.
FORCES ON SHEAR WALL
Shear walls resist two types of forces: shear forces and uplift forces. Shear forces are
engendered in stationary buildings by expeditions resulting from ground movement and by
external forces like wind and waves. This action generates shear forces throughout the height
of the wall between the top and bottom shear wall connections.
Uplift forces exist on shear walls because the horizontal forces are applied to the top of the
wall. These uplift forces try to pull up one end of the wall and push the other end down. In
some cases, the uplift force is immensely large enough to tip the wall over. Uplift forces are
greater on tall short walls and less on low long walls. Bearing walls have less uplift than non-
bearing walls because gravity loads on shear walls avail them resist uplift. Shear walls need
hold down at each end when the gravity loads cannot resist all of the uplift. The hold down
contrivance then provides the essential uplift resistance.
Shear walls should be located on each level of the structure including the crawl space. To
compose an efficient box structure, equal length shear walls should be placed symmetrically
on all four exterior walls of the building. Shear walls should be integrated to the building
interior when the exterior walls cannot provide sufficient vigour and stiffness.
ADVANTAGES OF SHEAR WALLS IN BUILDINGS
Properly designed and detailed buildings with shear walls have shown very good
performance in past earthquakes. Shear walls in high seismic regions require special
detailing. However, in past earthquakes, even buildings with sufficient amount of walls that
were not specially detailed for seismic performance (but had enough well-distributed
reinforcement) were saved from collapse.

Shear wall buildings are a popular choice in many earthquake prone countries, like Chile,
New Zealand and USA. Shear walls are easy to construct, because reinforcement detailing of
walls is relatively straight forward and therefore easily implemented at site. Shear walls are
efficient, both interims of construction cost and effectiveness in minimizing earthquake
damage in structural and non-structural elements like glass windows and building contents.
Thus shear walls are one of the most effective building elements in resisting lateral forces
during earthquake. By constructing shear walls damages due to effect of lateral forces due to
earthquake and high winds can be minimized. Shear walls construction will provide larger
stiffness to the buildings there by reducing the damage to structure and its contents.
OVERALL GEOMETRY OF SHEAR WALLS

Shear walls are oblong in cross-section, i.e., one dimension of the cross-section is much
larger than the other. While rectangular cross-section is common, L- and U-shaped sections
are also used .Thin-walled hollow RC shafts around the elevator core of buildings also act as
shear walls, and should be taken advantage of to resist earthquake forces. However, some
combinations of planar walls are also used in the structural systems. Typical non-planar shear
wall sections used in the building structures are given in Figure
Fig.7: Typical non-planar shear wall sections

COMPARISONS OF SHEAR WALL WITH CONSTRUCTION OF

CONVENTIONAL LOAD BEARING WALLS
Load bearing masonry is very brittle material. Due to different kinds of stresses such as shear,
tension, torsion, etc., caused by the earthquakes, the conventional unreinforced brick masonry
collapses instantly during the capricious and sudden earthquakes.
On the other hand even moderately designed shear wall structures not only more stable, but
withal comparatively quite ductile. In safety terms it signifies that, during very rigorous
earthquakes they will not suddenly collapse causing death of people. They give enough
indicative warnings such as widening structural cracks, yielding in structures, before they
totally collapse.
For structural purposes we consider the exterior walls as the shear-resisting walls. Forces
from the ceiling and roof diaphragms make their way to the outside along presumed paths,
enter the walls, and exit at the foundation.

PROCEDURE OF PUSHOVER ANALYSIS IN ETABS

 The following general sequence of steps is involved in performing a static nonlinear
analysis:
 Create a model just like you would for any other analysis. Note that material
nonlinearity is restricted to frame and link elements, although other element types
may be present in the model.
 Define the static load cases, if any, that are needed for use in the static nonlinear
analysis (Define > Static Load Cases command). Define any other static and dynamic
analysis cases that may be needed for steel or concrete design of frame elements.
 Define hinge properties, if any (Define > Frame Nonlinear Hinge Properties
command).
 Assign hinge properties, if any, to frame/line elements (Assign > Frame/Line > Frame
Nonlinear Hinges command).
 Run the basic linear and dynamic analyses (Analyse> Run command).
 Define the static nonlinear load cases (Define > Static Nonlinear/Pushover Cases
command).
 Run the static nonlinear analysis (Analyse> Run Static Nonlinear Analysis
command).
 Review the static nonlinear results (Display > Show Static Pushover Curve
command), (Display > Show Deformed Shape command), (Display > Show Member
Forces/Stress Diagram command), and (File > Print Tables > Analysis Output
command).
 Perform any design checks that utilize static nonlinear cases.
 Revise the model as necessary and repeat.
