Optimum Location of Shear Wall with Plan Irregularity of Multistoried Structure for Wind Analysis Using E-Tab

Abstract

Shear wall are used to elongate the strength and stiffness of structure, equal length and width of shear wall is maintained in the models, which are modeled in E-TAB software. In this chronicle, different irregular shapes “h” and “J” shapes are considered with different location of shear wall in it to see the structure in terms of reliability. The structure is 15 storied high which has height of 52 m (meter) and the location of the structure is considered in the city Vijayawada where basic wind speed is 50 m/s. The parameters, which affect the structure are column forces and maximum moment which needs to be analyzed for better efficiency of structure.
