Effect of Earth Quake and Wind Load On Residential Building by Using Etabs

1) Shear walls are commonly used in tall buildings to resist both vertical and horizontal loads from earthquakes and winds since it is difficult to design beams and columns for such loads. 2) The objective of this study is to determine the optimal placement of shear walls in a 26-story building located in seismic zone III by analyzing it using ETABS software under earthquake loading. 3) The analysis will compute axial forces, shear forces, bending moments, story displacements, and time period to establish the best location for shear walls.

Effect of earth quack and wind load on residential building by using

ETABS

ABSTRACT
Earthquakes Reinforced concrete framed buildings are capable for resisting both the vertical and
horizontal load acting on them. However, when buildings are tall, it is difficult to workout sizes
of beams and columns. There is lot of clogging at these joint and it is difficult to place and
vibrate concrete at these places which does not contribute the safety of building. These practical
difficulties call for introduction of shear wall. Shear wall has system is one of the most
commonly used internal load resisting system in high rise buildings. Shear wall has very high in
plane strength and stiffness which can be used to simultaneously resist large horizontal loads and
supports gravity loads. Therefore incorporation of shear wall has become assured in multi-storey
buildings built in region likely to experienced earthquake of high intensity or high winds. There
are lots of literatures available to design and analyze the shear wall. However, the decision about
an arrangement of shear wall in multi-storey building is not much discussed in any literatures, in
this study; therefore main objective is to determine the position of shear walls in multi-storey
building. An earthquake load is applied to a building of twenty sixth storied located in zone III.
The analysis is performed using ETABS software. Axial forces, shear force, bending moment,
storey displacement and time period are computed and location of shear walls is established.
