Abstract
This study conducts a comparative analysis of G+10 buildings, examining the structural performance of models with and without shear walls. Utilizing ETABS software, we investigate how the presence and strategic placement of shear walls influence key structural parameters, including lateral load resistance, deflection, and overall stability. The analysis encompasses various configurations of shear wall locations centralized, distributed, and corner placements to determine their effects on the building’s performance under seismic loading conditions. Results indicate that shear walls significantly enhance structural integrity and reduce lateral displacements, with optimal configurations yielding the best performance outcomes. This research provides valuable insights for architects and engineers in designing resilient structures that can effectively withstand dynamic forces. Shear walls are added to the building interior to provide more strength and stiffness to the building when the exterior walls cannot provide sufficient strength and stiffness. It is necessary to provide these shear walls when the tolerable span- width ratio for the floor or roof diaphragm is exceeded. The present work deals with a study on the improvement location of shear walls in symmetrical high-rise building. Position of shear walls in symmetrical buildings has due considerations..
