Comparative Study on Damper and Shear Wall in Earthquake Analysis for Multi-storey Structure

Abstract

The earthquake is the one of the most devastating natural hazards that causes serious Structural damage and also great loss of life. Structural irregularities or asymmetrical plan are commonly found in constructions and structure due to the architectural demand .this research work focused on symmetric and asymmetric multi-storey building under the action of earthquake with and without damper and shear wall. The load combination given in IS-1893-2002 (Part-1.). The performance in symmetrical and asymmetrical structure to be checked by response spectrum method by using E-TABS software.

Keywords: Earthquake analysis, Damper, shear wall, E-TABS
