ABSTRACT
Shear Wall is a perpendicular Structural Element used in Earthquake Resistant structures to resist lateral loads like wind
and seismic loads in earthquake prone zones. A 15 Storey structure is taken into consideration. From the below mentioned models
we can determine the effective position for shear wall for G+15 Storey RCC Structure, with the parameters like storey drift, side
relegation, and base shear. In this, G+15 Storey RCC Building is designed and analysed, in STAAD PRO, with shear wall at
different locales i)Structure with no shear wall, ii) Structure with L-type shear wall at corners, iii) Structure with shear wall
along the fringe, iv) Structure with Box-type open shear wall. Shear wall takes graviness loads also. Analysis which is
subordinated to earthquake cargo in zone V (0.36). Approach for Earthquake study is carried out as per Indian - IS 1893-2002/2005
in STAAD PRO using Limit Static Analysis. From the Results, we can have the knowledge of shear wall position in the structure
to get maximum strength and stiffness.

conclude that among all other considered possibilities,
MODEL-4 (Structure with Box-type open Shear Wall at the
center of the figure) is the ideal architecture fashion for
medium & high rise structures from STAAD PRO
Analysis. To further increase the effectiveness of the
structure, earthquake defying ways similar as Seismic
Mutes & Base Insulation can be used.
