STRUCTURE

Shear wall is a structural member used to resist lateral

forces, i.e., parallel to the plane of the wall.

COLUMNS AND BEAMS

In other words, Shear walls are vertical elements of the

horizontal force resisting system. Shear wall is a Columns are used to support oor/roof beams and the
structural member in a reinforced concrete framed columns of the oor above. The columns at the bottom
oor of a tall building must carry the accumulative weight
structure to resist lateral forces

of all the oors above.

A beam is a horizontal structural member in a building to

resist the lateral loads applied to the beam’s axis.

The loads act transversely to the longitudinal axis, which

produces the shear forces and bending moment.
