Behaviour of Different Configuration of RC Frame Plan Under Seismic Analysis with Shear Wall

Abstract

As increasing demands of structure requirements, structural engineers nowadays must deal with a variety of situations. In which various geometrical constructions are on demand. As per the different requirements, structural safety is preferred in all ways. The current study compares regular and irregular configurations in the plan of different RC frames. In this research, four models were compared. A different model has been created with the help of ETABS software. Model 1 is a bare RC frame, Model 2 is a L shape RC frame, Model 3 is a L shape RC frame with a shear wall at each corner, and Model 4 is a L shape RC frame with a shear wall in its centre. In the study Squared shaped plan frame is compared with L shaped frame and after by installing different shapes of shear wall was applied to L shaped frame. Analysis of mentioned different models has been carried out with the dynamic analysis method which is response spectrum method. Analysis has been done in ETABS software and different seismic parameters has been studied and compared with analysis results. Parameters like base shear, time period, storey drift has been compared.
