Effect of Seismic Load on Column Forces in RC Structures by Response Spectrum Analysis

Article January 23, 2026

In the present research work 30 story building with different type of RC Shear wall at the center in concrete frame structure with fixed support conditions under different type of soil for high seismic zone are analyzed. This paper aims to study the effect of seismic load on column forces in different type of RC shear walls in concrete frame structures under different type of soil condition and different load combination. Estimation of column forces such as; column axial force, column moment, column shear force, column torsion, time period and frequency and modal load participation ratios is carried out. In dynamic analysis; Response Spectrum method is used. It was found that the axial force and moment in the column increases when the type of soil changes from hard to medium and medium to soft. Since the column moment increase as the soil type changes, soil structure interaction must be suitably considered while designing frames for seismic force.

Response Spectra Study of High Rise Structure with RC Shear Wall by Considering Lateral Loads and Storey Stiffness

Article January 23, 2026

The present study aims at evaluation of the behavior of a high rise structure with dual system for estimation of structural response lateral loads and storey stiffness has been studied. To meet this objective, G+29 storey building with C shape, Box shape, E shape, I shape and plus shape of RC shear wall, at the center in concrete frame structure with fixed support conditions under different types of soil for high earthquake zone are analyzed by dynamic analysis in ETABS software. It was found that the building with box shape shear walls provided at the center core showed very significant performance in terms of lateral loads and storey stiffness. It was found that the behavior of new shape (plus shape) of shear wall is similar to I and box shape. For severe lateral loads caused by wind load and or earthquake load, the RC shear wall is obvious.

Study the Impact of the Drift (Lateral Deflection) of the Tall Buildings Due to Seismic Load in Concrete Frame Structures With Different Type of RC Shear Walls

Article July 4, 2018

Story Drift is defined as the difference in lateral deflection between two adjacent stories. Lateral deflection and drift have three effects on a structure; the movement can affect the structural elements (such as beams and columns); the movements can affect non-structural elements (such as the windows and cladding); and the movements can affect adjacent structures. Without proper consideration during the design process, large deflections and drifts can have adverse effects on structural elements, nonstructural elements, and adjacent structures. Drift problem as the horizontal displacement of all tall buildings is one of the most serious issues in tall building design, relating to the dynamic characteristics of the building during earthquakes and strong winds. Drift shall be caused by the accumulated deformations of each member, such as a beam, column and shear wall. lateral forces due to wind or seismic loading must be considered for tall building design along with gravity forces vertical loads. Tall and slender buildings are strongly wind sensitive and wind forces are applied to the exposed surfaces of the building, whereas seismic forces are inertial (body forces), which result from the distortion of the ground and the inertial resistance of the building. These forces cause horizontal deflection is the predicted movement of a structure under lateral loads and The structural prototype is prepared and lots of data is been collected from the prototype. All the aspects such as safety of structure in shear, moment and in story drift have been collected. Main problems that would be arising due to earthquake in the structure are story drift and deflection of the building due to its large height and also torsion and others, so if the structure is proved to be safe in all the above mentioned problems than the structure would be safe in all cases in respect earthquak e. Shear Wall is A Structural Element Used to Resist Lateral, Horizontal, Shear Forces Parallel to the Plan

Impact of Seismic load on Pier Forces in Different Type of RC Shear Walls in Concrete Frame Structures With Different Type of Soil Condition

Article January 19, 2018

Shear walls are a type of structural system that provides lateral resistance to a building or structure. They resist in-plane loads that are applied along its height. The applied load is generally transferred to the wall by a diaphragm or collector or drag member. Shear walls are analyzed to resist two types of forces: shear forces and uplift forces. Shear forces are created throughout the height of the wall between the top and bottom shear wall connections. Uplift forces exist on shear walls because the horizontal forces are applied to the top of the wall. These uplift forces try to lift up one end of the wall and push the other end down. In some cases, the uplift force is large enough to tip the wall over. Shear walls are analyzed to the provide necessary lateral strength to resist horizontal forces. Shear walls are strong enough, to transfer these horizontal forces to the next element in the load path below them. The seismic motion that reaches a structure on the surface of the earth is influenced by local soil conditions. The subsurface soil layers underlying the building foundation may amplify the response of the building to earthquake motions originating in the bedrock. Three types soil are considered here: Hard soil, Medium soil, soft soil. In the present work thirty story building with C Shape, Box shape, E Shape, I shape and Plus shape RC Shear wall at the center in Concrete Frame Structure with fixed support conditions under different type of soil for earthquake zone V as per IS 1893 (part 1): 2002 in India are analyzed using software ETABS by Dynamic analysis. All the analyses has been carried out as per the Indian Standard code books. This paper aims to Study the effect of Seismic load on Pier Forces in Different Type of RC Shear Walls in Concrete Frame Structures under Different Type of Soil Condition. Estimation of Pier Forces such as; Pier Axial Force , Pier moment, Pier shear Force, Pier Torsion, Time period and frequency and Modal Load Participation

Effective of Seismic Load on Behavior of Rectangular Shear Wall in RC Frame Structure

Article December 18, 2017

The usefulness of shear walls in the structural planning of multistory buildings has long been recognized. When walls are situated in advantageous positions in a building, they can be very efficient in resisting lateral loads originating from wind or earthquakes. Incorporation of shear wall has become inevitable in multi-storey building to resist lateral forces. In present work, twenty storey buildings have been modeled using software ETABS by dynamic analysis. All the analyses has been carried out as per the Indian Standard code books. Based on the literature of previous studies most effective positioning of shear walls has been chosen. This study is done on RC framed multistory building with RC shear walls with fixed support conditions. This paper aims to study the behaviour of reinforced concrete building by conducting dynamic analysis for most suited positions and location of Rectangular shear wall. Estimation of structural response such as; axial force, shear force ,torsion, moment , storey drift is carried out. Dynamic responses under zone V earthquake as per IS 1893 (part 1) : 2002 have been carried out.
