CHAPTER 6

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

6.1 GENERAL

In this project, a 10-story building with 3.2 meters height for each story,
regular in plan is modeled. These buildings were designed in compliance to the Indian
code of practice for seismic resistant design of buildings .the buildings are assumed to
be fixed at the base and the floors acts as rigid diaphragms. The sections of structural
elements are square and rectangular and their dimensions are changed for different
building. Storey heights of buildings are assumed to be constant including the ground
storey. The buildings are modeled using software ETABS. Three different models were
studied with different positioning of shear wall in building. Models are studied in zones
III comparing lateral displacement, story drift, Percentage of Ast in column, concrete
quantity required, steel and total cost required for all models.

6.2 STORY DISPLACEMENT AND DRIFT

The seismic analysis of all the frame models that includes different location
of shear walls has been done by using software ETABS and the results are shown
below. The parameters which are to be studied are lateral displacement X & Y Direction
refers the Figure 6.1 & 6.2

Story drift is the displacement of one level relative to the other level above
or below. Story drift ratio according to the zones of each model is shown in Figure 6.3
& 6.4 for X and Y Direction. In Software value of story drift is given in ratio.

The above Fiigure comparing the cost of each model providing shear wall at
adequate location substantially reducing the cost of structures, in thiis model the cost is
reduced in model 3 sheaar wall provided inner and outer edges.
