ABSTRACT

Received 15 Nov. 2014

Accepted 20 Dec. 2014

Performance of structures under frequently occurring earth quake ground

motions resulting in structural damages as well as failures have repeatedly
demonstrated the seismic vulnerability of existing buildings, due to their
design based on gravity loads only or inadequate levels of lateral forces. This
necessitates the need for design based on seismic responses by suitable
methods to ensure strength and stability of structures. Shear wall systems
are one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting systems in high rise
buildings.. This study aims at comparing various parameters such as storey
drift, storey shear, deflection, reinforcement requirement in columns etc of
a building under lateral loads based on strategic positioning of shear walls.
Based on linear and nonlinear analysis procedures adopted, the effect of
shear wall location on various parameters are to be compared .Pushover
analysis is used to evaluate the expected performance of the structure by
estimating its strength and deformation demands in design earthquakes by
means of static inelastic analysis, and comparing these demands to available
capacities at the performance levels of interest. The capacity spectrum
method is used to obtain the overall performance level of a structure. The
software used is ETABS 9.5 and SAP 2000.V.14.1

they can form an efficient lateral force resisting system

by reducing lateral displacements under earthquake
loads. Therefore it is very necessary to determine
effective, efficient and ideal location of shear wall.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Structural behaviour under seismic loading requires an
understanding of the behaviour under large inelastic
deformations .Nonlinear Static Procedure/ Pushover
analysis can be used to evaluate building loaded
beyond the elastic range. The capacity spectrum
method is one of the most established and widely
accepted displacement based seismic design method
which is used for performance based seismic design.

INTRODUCTION
There has been a considerable increase in the
construction of tall buildings both residential and
commercial and the modern trend is towards more tall
and slender structures. Thus the effects of lateral loads
like wind loads, earthquake loads and blast forces are
attaining increasing importance and almost every
designer is faced with the problems of providing
adequate strength and stability against lateral loads.
Shear wall system is one of the most commonly used
lateral load resisting system in high rise buildings. Shear
wall has high in plane stiffness and strength which can
be used to simultaneously resist large horizontal loads
and support gravity loads, which significantly reduces
lateral sway of the building and thereby reduces
damage to structure and its contents. Shear walls in
buildings must be symmetrically located in plan to
reduce ill-effects of twist in buildings. When shear walls
are situated in advantageous positions in the building,

resistance and flexibility of structure. Building collapse

is caused due to these inertia forces. Because
earthquake ground motion is three-dimensional, the
structure, in general, deforms in a three dimensional
manner. Generally inertia forces generated by the
horizontal components of ground motion require
greater consideration for seismic design since adequate
resistance to vertical seismic loads is usually provided
by the member capacities required for gravity load
design. The type of analysis to obtain seismic force, and
their distribution to different levels along height of the
building and to various lateral load resisting elements,
depends on the height of the building, severity of the
seismic zone in which the building is located and on the
classification of the building as regular or irregular.
METHODOLOGY
Methods for Seismic analysis of buildings may be
classified as follows:
1) Equivalent Static Analysis (Linear Static)
2) Response Spectrum Analysis (Linear Dynamic)
3) Pushover Analysis (Nonlinear Static)
4) Time History Analysis (Nonlinear Dynamic)
EQUIVALENT STATIC ANALYSIS
In Equivalent static analysis it is assumed that the
structure responds in its fundamental mode. The
response is read from a design response spectrum,
given the natural frequency of the structure. This
method work well for low to medium-rise buildings
without significant coupled lateraltorsional modes, in
which only the first mode in each direction is of
significance.
NONLINEAR STATIC PUSHOVER ANALYSIS
Pushover analysis is a simplified, static, nonlinear
analysis under a predefined pattern of permanent
vertical loads and gradually increasing lateral loads.
Typically the first pushover load case is used to apply
gravity load and then subsequent lateral pushover load
cases are specified to start from the final conditions of
the gravity pushover. Typically a gravity load pushover
is force controlled and lateral pushovers are
displacement controlled. Load is applied incrementally
to frameworks until a collapse mechanism is reached.
Thus it enables determination of collapse load and
ductility capacity on a building frame. Plastic rotation is
monitored, and a lateral inelastic force versus
displacement response for the complete structure is
analytically computed. This type of analysis enables
weakness in the structure to be identified. The decision
to retrofit can be taken in such studies. The ATC-40
document have developed modeling procedures,
acceptance criteria and analysis procedures for
pushover analysis. As shown in Figure 3, five points
labeled A, B, C, D, and E are used to define the force
deflection behavior of the hinge and three points
labeled IO, LS and CP are used to define the acceptance
criteria for the hinge. The range AB is elastic range ,IO,

Bozdogan K.B.,Deierlein et.al.,2010 [1] discussed in

detail the modeling issues, nonlinear behavior and
analysis of the frame shear wall structural system. An
approximate method which is based on the continuum
approach and one dimensional finite element method
to be used for lateral static and dynamic analyses of
wall-frame buildings is presented. Shaik Kamal
Mohammed Azam.,2013 [2] presented a study on
seismic performance evaluation of multistoried rc
framed buildings with shear wall. A comparison of
structural behavior in terms of strength, stiffness and
damping characteristics is done.The provision of shear
wall has significant influence on lateral strength in taller
buildings while it has less influence on lateral stiffness
in taller buildings. The provision of shear wall has
significant influence on lateral stiffness in buildings of
shorter height while it has less influence on lateral
strength. The influence of shear walls is significant in
terms of the damping characteristics and period at the
performance point for tall buildings. Provision of shear
walls symmetrically in the outermost moment-resisting
frames and preferably interconnected in mutually
perpendicular direction forming the core will have
better seismic performance in terms of strength and
stiffness. Shahabodin ,Zaregarizi;2013 [4] presented a
study on Comparative investigation on using shear wall
and concrete infill to improve seismic performance of
existing buildings in areas with high seismic potential.
Results shows that concrete fills have considerable
strength than brick in fills. whereas the displacement
acceptance of brick infills is higher than concrete infills.
Masonry infills as lateral resisting elements have
considerable strength which can prevent even collapse
in moderate earthquakes. Performance of concrete
infills is dependent on adjacent elements especially
columns, so premature failure in columns due to strong
axial forces must be considered.Misam Abidi,
Mangulkar Madhuri. N;2012 [5] presented an
assessment to understand the behavior of Reinforced
Concrete framed structures by pushover analysis and
the Comparative study was done for different models in
terms of base shear, displacement, performance point.
The inelastic behaviour of the example structures are
examined by carrying out displacement controlled
pushover analysis.
III. SEISMIC RESISTANT DESIGN OF BUILDINGS
No building can remain entirely free of damage during
quake, still, all structures, big or small; can be made to
withstand earthquakes of a particular magnitude by
taking certain precaution.
STRUCTURAL RESPONSE
The behavior of a building during an earthquake is a
vibration problem. If the base of a structure is suddenly
moved the lower portion of a building tends to vibrate,
but the upper part of the structure will not respond
instantaneously, but will lag because of inertial

LS and CP stand for Immediate Occupancy, Life Safety

and Collapse Prevention respectively.
PERFORMANCE POINT
The intersection of capacity spectrum with appropriate
demand spectrum in capacity spectrum method. If the
performance point exists and damage state at that

point is acceptable, we have a building that satisfies the

push-over criterion. Depending on the position and
state of the performance point the analyst may decide
on how safe or vulnerable the structure is and where
possible strengthening should be performed.

Typical seismic demand vs capacity plots.

relatively low uncertainty. In nonlinear dynamic

analyses, the detailed structural model subjected to a
ground-motion record produces estimates of
component deformations for each degree of freedom in
the model and the modal responses are combined using
schemes such as the square-root-sum-of-squares.
IV. STRUCTURAL MODELING AND ANALYSIS
The Finite Element analysis software ETABS 9.5 is used
to create the 3-D model and run the linear static and
dynamic analyses and Pushover analysis is done in
SAP2000 .V.14.1 .Eight
different models were
considered.

PERFORMANCE LEVEL
Performance Level is defined as the expected behavior
of the building in the design earthquake in terms of
limiting levels of damage to the structural and
nonstructural components .
METHODS OF DYNAMIC ANALYSIS

maximum response of SDOF system subjected to
specified earthquake ground motion and its time period
(or frequency). Plot with system time period on x - axis

spectra pertaining to specified damping ratio and input
ground motion
2) Nonlinear Dynamic Time History Analysis
Nonlinear dynamic analysis utilizes the combination of
ground motion records with a detailed structural
model, therefore is capable of producing results with

From the analysis results obtained following
parameters are taken into consideration for the present
study.
STOREY DRIFT
Story drift can be defined as the lateral displacement of
one level relative to the level above or below it: As per
Clause no. 7.11.1 of IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002, the storey
drift in any storey due to specified design lateral force
with partial load factor of 1.0, shall not exceed 0.004

times the storey height. Maximum drift permitted =

0.004 x 3000 = 12mm.By comparing the drift values
obtained for all models obtained using both methods ,it
could be seen that in models with shear wall provided
at core as well as in corners the inter story drift has
considerably been reduced when compared to the bare
frame model as well as those models in which shear
walls are provided only in longitudinal or transverse
directions.

From the results obtained it can be observed that

though the reinforcement requirement in columns for
top storeys are converging to minimum values ,for
bottom storey's the reinforcement requirement in
column shows considerable variation when provided
with shear walls as compared to the bare frame model.
In Model M and M ie.models with core shear walls

and that with shear wall at core and corners, the

percentage of steel required in columns in ground floor
has come down by 44%, 18% and 49% and up to 34.7%

,13.4% and 26.3% respectively in top floors when

PUSHOVER ANALYSIS
Pushover analysis is carried out for all the models .The
results obtained are shown below.
Pushover curve is a plot of base shear versus roof
displacement which is also known as the capacity curve.
This curve gives an assessment of base shear induced at
performance point. The performance point is obtained
by superimposing demand spectrum and capacity curve
transformed into spectral coordinates. The capacity

situated near to core area show a reduction in steel

requirement up to 44.6% when shear wall is provided at
the core and 34.7% when shear wall is located at core
and corner of the structure.
5) Push over analysis results provides an insight into the
performance of structures in post elastic range which
thereby helps in assessing the weakness and possible
failure mechanisms of structure which is not possible
when using equivalent static and response spectrum
method of analysis .This could be useful in rectifying
the detrimental effects in the design stage itself or for
adopting suitable retrofitting methods in case of post
earthquake seismic hazard estimation.
VI. SCOPE FOR FUTURE RESEARCH
The volume of work undertaken in this study is limited
to comparison of seismic response parameters in a
building with different shear wall locations using linear
and nonlinear analyses and Performance level
evaluation using Pushover analysis .The study could be
extended by including various other parameters such
as torsional effects and soft storey effects in a building
.Non linear dynamic analysis may be carried out for
further study for better and realistic evaluation of
structural response under seismic forces .

V. CONCLUSIONS
From the present investigation and the results obtained
it can be concluded as following:
1) In medium high rise buildings (ie greater than 10
storeys) provision of shear walls is found to be effective
in enhancing the overall seismic capacity characteristics
of the structure.
2) From the comparison of story drift values it can be
observed that maximum reduction in drift values is
obtained when shear walls are provided at corners of
the building .
3) Lateral displacement values obtained from static
method of analysis indicate that shear wall provision
along longitudinal and transverse directions are
effective in reducing the displacement values in the
same directions.
Response spectrum analysis results provides a more
realistic behavior of structure response and hence it
can be seen that the displacement values in both X and
Y directions are least in model with shear wall in core
and corners when compared to all other models.
4) The reinforcement requirement in column is affected
by the location and orientation of adjacent shear walls
and columns ,ie alignment along weaker or stronger
axis for the structure under consideration. Though the
demand is varying ,it could be seen that the columns
