A shear wall is a vertical structural element that resists horizontal forces like winds and earthquakes. There are several types of shear walls including simple rectangular, rectangular with boundary elements, and framed shear walls. Shear walls provide advantages like energy dissipation, strength and stiffness in their orientation, reduced lateral sway, and cost efficiency. They are an effective building element for resisting lateral forces and minimizing potential damage.

- 1. Presented by Dr. Pritam Hait Assistant Professor, JSPM University Advanced design of RC structures
- 2. Introduction A shear wall is a structural support element that resists shear forces, like heavy winds and seismic activity. In civil engineering, shear force refers to forces that act horizontally against structural members of a building (beams, columns, and so on), causing it to twist and bend. A Shear wall is a vertical element is constructed to counter the effects of lateral load acting on a structure.
