two types of analogous frames for the stress analysis of
shear walls. One analogous frame (see Fig.1a) is similar to
the widely used wide-column analogous frame, except for
the addition of diagonal braces in each module. The
diagonal braces prevent the interference of the bending and
shear stiffnesses, which occur in the ordinary wide-column
analogy, and therefore
allow the more accurate
representation of shear
walls with a high shear to
moment
ratio.
The
second analogous frame
also
includes
horizontally rigid arms
and braces, but the
central column of the
previous frame is omitted
and replaced by a column on one vertical edge and a hinged
link on the other.

1) Base Shears:
The base shears for all the models were almost the
same for all the models. As the only changing parameter
was seismic weight, it was expected. The chart for variation
of seismic weight is shown in Fig. 8
3) Storey Drift:
Storey Drifts of models for EQX and EQY direction at
each floor level is shown in Fig. 11. & 12.
It was observed that compared to dual system, SMRF
building without shear walls had very large storey drifts in
both the directions. Similar to displacements, Model 3 was
the most efficient to arrest the drifts against lateral loads.
2) Lateral Displacement:
Lateral displacement of models for Earthquake in Xdirection load (EQX) and Earthquake in Y-direction load
(EQY) direction at each floor level is shown in Fig. 9. & 10.
It was observed that compared to dual system, SMRF
building without shear walls had very large displacements in
both the directions. Model 3 was the most efficient to arrest
the displacements against lateral loads.

1) Iit is clear that shear wall frame interaction systems are
very effective in resisting lateral forces induced by
earthquake.
2) Placing shear wall away from center of gravity resulted
in increase in the most of the members forces. So shear
walls should be coinciding with the centroid of the
building.
3) The study indicates the significant effect on shear force
and bending moment of column at different levels of the
building by shifting the shear wall location.
4) Also placing of shear walls has a crucial role in
distribution of lateral forces .
Buildings with shear walls are hence economical
when lateral forces are high. The above study can also
be extended to dynamic analysis of stuctures subjected
to response spectra. Also effect of RC walls on the
fundamental time period and modal mass participation
factors can also be investigated.
Also, the severity of lateral loading in this case was
same for all models. Further investigations can be
carried out as to how seismic behavior changes for
different shear wall locations for different type of
seismic parameters.
