Analysis of Bare Frame and Infilled Frame with Different Position of Shear Wall

Abstract

Shear wall is one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting in high rise building. Shear wall has high in plane stiffness and strength which can be used to simultaneously resist large horizontal load and support gravity load. The scope of present work was to study investigates the effectiveness of RC shear wall in medium rise building. The residential medium rise building is analyzed for earthquake and wind force by considering two type of structural system. i.e. Bare Frame system and Infilled Frame system. Effectiveness of shear wall has been studied with the help of eight different models. Four models are bare frame structural system and other four models are Infilled Frame structural system with different position of shear wall. Analysis is carried out by using standard package STADD Pro V8i. The comparison of these models for different parameters like Storey Drift and Axial fore in column is carried out.
