Shear Wall Positioning for Multistorey Buildings to Minimize the effects of Lateral Forces

Abstract

Their considerable strength and stiffness in the plane allow them to sustain weights due to gravity
and resist heavy horizontal loads simultaneously. Therefore, it's essential to identify the best
places for shear walls. The placement of shear walls must be precise; otherwise, bad things could
happen. This research involves a study to ascertain the consequences of adding shear walls and
the best through drastic shear wall position changes. Regarding G+10-storey buildings, ETABS
has examined four distinct scenarios of shear wall placements. In compliance with Indian
Standards, the framed structure was tested for lateral and gravity stress. The findings were
reviewed to establish the best location for the shear walls. In compliance with Indian Standards,
the framed structure was tested to lateral and gravity stress. The findings were examined to
establish the best location for the shear walls. Due of its great strength and plane rigidity, they can
withstand heavy horizontal loads at the same time.
