An Analysis and Comparative Study of Replacement of Shear Wall with Intermediate Beams

Abstract

Shear wall systems are one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting systems in high-rise buildings. Shear wall has very high in-plane stiffness and strength, which could be used to simultaneously resist large horizontal loads, and supports vertical or gravity loads. In multi-storey buildings to resist lateral forces incorporation of shear walls has become inevitable. It is very necessary to determine the effective, efficient, and ideal location of the shear wall. This paper’s study of G+5 storey building in zone-III is presented with some preliminary investigation which is analyzed by changing various position of shear wall and replacement of shear with an intermediate beam. In this paper determine the node displacement, maximum shear force, maximum moment storey drift and base shear with the help of STAAD-pro software. The building is modelled with floor area of (28m*18m) with 7 bays along 28m span each 4m and 6 bays along the 18m span each 3m and each storey height is 3m. The analysis is carried out using STAAD-pro software. A comparative study has been done placing of shear wall at different position of building and shear walls replace with the intermediate beams in the building.
