To ensure the seismic effectiveness of highrise buildings different systems of lateral restraints are provided e.g., bracings, shear walls, core walls etc. In the present study, deflection of various joints, storeys & also the drifts have been gone through. For this purpose, 3 different models of multi-storeyed buildings were prepared consisting of a G+6 building with shear wall at the centre of edges on exterior walls, G+6 building with a core wall & G+8 building with a core wall were prepared using an integrated building designing software known as ETABS- 2016 (student version). A 3-bay building was modelled using M30 concrete mix and reinforcing steel bars of HYSD 415 for beams, columns, slabs as well as shear walls. After this pier labels were assigned to the shear walls. A variety of load cases like joint loads, dead loads, live loads, wind load in x-direction for terrain category 4, earthquake loads in x & y directions for zone II along with their combinations were assigned. The respective diaphragms were assigned to the three models & analysis was carried out at the end. The table of results was obtained and the deflection analysis was carried out to compare the relative effectiveness of shear walls & core walls at different locations of the multi-storeyed building. The codes taken into consideration during the progress of work were IS 456:2000 for plain and reinforced concrete, IS 875:2015 (Part 1) for wind loads & IS 1893:2002 for earthquake loads.
I. INTRODUCTION
To counteract the damage caused by the earthquakes a solid concrete or a masonry structure needs to be constructed so that limit states of strength and deflection are not reached. This structure is called a shear wall. In the absence of a shear wall a structure is most likely to collapse or atleast show more deflection. The basic principle behind providing a shear wall structure is to check the development of lateral forces which can cause damage to a structure. Earthquakes in the past have shown the innumerable instances where in absence of a shear wall, a considerable damage to life and property was observed. Foreign countries like USA, England, France etc. have stressed upon the need for construction of a earthquake-resisting structures. In India the necessity for construction of such safe structures was felt only during last decade of the 20th century which saw a great increase in the no. of buildings being built using shear walls, bracings, core walls and like. At the start those structures were built in a random manner but due to advancement in understanding of the pattern of seismic waves and location of epicentres nearly all countries have switched to form some organisations that formed various standards regarding lateral load-resisting construction so that uniform code system is available all over their respective nations.
One of the famous examples where the heights have fascinated all the heads in the world is the sky-touching building of Burj Khalifa. To build it with a total height of 828m and supporting 163 floors all through its height and having a total floor area of 460000 m2 was a next to impossible task for mankind. A large no. of engineers were engaged in the process of its design, assessment, evaluation and performance of the structure. As the methods of construction involving dead loads and live loads were already understandable by man, the problem that was frequently striking the minds of engineers was as to how the tall tower building could be saved from lateral damage. This was the time when the use of shear walls took an effective part in its construction. The two major components of the structure are Floor framing system and Lateral load resisting system.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
In recent years, the issue of earthquakes has received considerable attention. In tall structures, vertical loads, i.e. dead and live loads, do not pose much of an analysis or design problem as they are largely deterministic. But lateral wind loads or earthquakes are a concern. These loads require special attention in the design of high-rise buildings. These lateral forces can create critical stresses in the structure, cause undesired vibrations, or cause excessive directional movement of the structure. emphasizes the importance of limiting sway when subjected to lateral loads. Extensive research efforts have been devoted to the seismic behaviour of different types of frames and shear walls. In this chapter, some of the existing literature on the above issue has been discussed.
a. STAAD Pro is a versatile software which can be employed to calculate the reinforcement used in design of a concrete shear wall for reducing its sudden failure without warning.
b. Max. displacement due to seismic waves is less with shear walls RC framed buildings.
11. Vishal V. Gupta, Ashwin Soosan Pillai, Akash Bharmal, Jaydeep. B. Chougale (2020): This study under the title “Study of Effect of Orientation of Column and Position of Shear Wall on G+13 Storeyed Earthquake Resistant Structure” was carried on a 14 storey building model and having a storey height of 3.5m. The plan provided was regular in shape. In relation to the presence of shear wall in a building it produced the following conclusions:
a. The location of shear wall and brace member has a significant effect on the seismic response.
b. Shear wall construction provides large stiffness to the building.
c. Economic design is ensured when the shear walls are provided as mirror images of each other
.12. Jawid Ahmad Tajzadah, Prof. A. N. Desai, Prof. Vimlesh V. Agrawal: This study lead to the conclusion that shear wall placed at building core has appreciable seismic response as compared to other options due to more tendency of attraction of lateral loads. As shear wall are set apart from centre of the building, its seismic response gets reduced. It also concluded that for improving torsional resistance in buildings provided with shear wall, they are placed as much as possible apart from centre of mass of the building.
13. Rajiv Banerjee, J. B. Srivastava: This research concluded that shear walls are highly important in high-rise buildings for resisting lateral forces. But it is important to note that the location of shear walls plays a crucial role in determining the efficiency of shear wall. If the location of shear wall is such that it results in an increase in torsional forces, it becomes a dangerous enemy of the structure. Thus, one has to put the shear walls such that centre of mass and centre of stiffness of the building should be as close as possible. It is also possible that, some configuration of shear walls may cause a considerable reduction in lateral displacements but large eccentricity, which in turn cause torsional forces in the structure. Thus, a balance has to be set up in the configuration of shear so that both the lateral forces along with torsional forces are eliminated to a greater extent.
III. METHODS OF ANALYSIS
Determination of earthquake loads on a structure is the challenging job in the field of structural engineering. A lot of research work is carried out in this regard to propose the simplified methods that can predict the results with a high amount of reasonable accuracy. It was found that except detailed non-linear time history analysis, the available methods have limited areas of the application and cannot be used for all type of buildings. Structural response to earthquakes or seismic response in buildings is a dynamic phenomenon & it depends upon the dynamic characteristics of structures and also on the intensity, duration and frequency of the exciting ground movement. Although the seismic action is dynamic in its nature, building codes often recommend equivalent static load analysis for design of earthquake-resistant buildings due to its simplicity & result-yielding nature. This is done by focussing on the predominant first mode response and formulating equivalent static forces that produce the corresponding mode shape with various empirical adjustments for higher mode effects. The reason behind the use of static load analysis to establish seismic design quantities is justified in view of the complexities and difficulties associated with dynamic analysis. Dynamic analysis proves to be even more complex and questionable when we consider non-linearity in materials and geometry. Hence, the analytical tools used in earthquake engineering have been a subject for further development and with significant advances and enhancements achieved in recent years.Despite the above mentioned concerns over the dynamic analysis to be used in seismic design, it is practically useful to carry out special studies of tall and irregular structures because of its superiority in reflecting seismic response more accurately provided it should be used properly. These studies cover a large number of analysis under different ground motion and different structural parameters to provide more clear view of the structural behaviour. With the advancement of personal computers and the consequently the reformation in information technology coupled with extensive research work in the field of non-linear modelling, more reliable computational tools have been made available for use in design of buildings.
Popular methods of seismic analysis used in estimating the earthquake demand on the structure under consideration can be discussed as below:
A. Linear Static Method
This method, also known as Equivalent Static Method, is used to estimate the earthquake demand for the structures whose response is particularly governed by the first mode and expected to be in elastic range. In this method the lateral loads are estimated & calculated based on the fundamental period of the structure and they are applied on the design centre of mass at each floor level and then the demands are estimated. The magnitude of these pseudo-lateral loads has been selected with the intent that when such loads are applied to the linearly elastic model of the building, it will cause design displacement which is expected during the design earthquake.If the structure responds elastically to the design earthquake, the calculated internal forces will be a reasonable approximation of the ones expected during the design earthquake. If the building responds elastically to the design earthquake which is usual in most of the cases, the actual internal forces developed in the building will be less as compared to the internal forces calculated using the pseudo-lateral loads.
IS 1893:2002 uses the account the Response Reduction Factor (R) is used to calculate the reduced forces empirical formulae to estimate the fundamental time period of the structure. It is used for determination of spectral acceleration from the response spectrum, which in turn is used for the calculation of Base shear modified by the use of some coefficient. After this the base shear is distributed in the parabolic manner along the height of the building. In addition to this, the effect of the torsion is taken into consideration by calculating the design center of mass by considering design eccentricity. Design eccentricity is defined as the sum of actual eccentricity (distance between centre of mass and centre of rigidity at floor level) and accidental eccentricity (5% of the horizontal dimension at the floor level mentioned but measured perpendicular to the direction of the applied load). For 2-D modelling the design forces are suitably increased to take into account the effect of torsion. This method is used by IS 1893:2002 with the steps below:
The load factors for the design of the reinforced concrete structures as provided by the code are:
1.5 (DL + LL)
1.5 (DL ± EL)
0.9 DL ± 1.5 EL
1.7 (DL + IL ± EL)
2. Determine the design Horizontal Seismic Coefficient (Ah)
The design horizontal seismic coefficient Ah is determined by the following expression:
Ah=Z I Sa /2 g R
Where, Z = Zone factor
I = Importance factor
R = Response reduction factor
Sa/g = Spectral acceleration coefficient
3. Determine Fundamental Natural Period of vibration (T)
The approximate fundamental natural period of vibration (in s) in case of all other buildings including moment-resisting frame building with infill panels, may be determined by the expression:
T= 0.09h / d1/2
The approximate fundamental natural period of vibration (in s) in case of moment- resisting frame building without brick infill panels may be determined by the following empirical expression:
T= 0.075h0.75 ( RC frame building ) & T=0.085h0.75 ( steel frame building)
4. Calculate Seismic Weight
The seismic weight of each floor is taken as its entire dead load and appropriate amount of imposed load. The seismic weight of each floor is found out by distributing equally the weights of walls and columns in a storey to the floors below & above that storey. Total seismic weight of the building is the summation of seismic weights of all the floors.
5. Assign the IMPORTANCE Factor
The structures are assigned an importance factor which depends upon the functional use of the structure & characterized by the hazardous consequences of its failure, post-earthquake need etc.
6. Response Reduction Factor
Depending upon the estimated seismic damage performance of a structure mainly based on the ductile or brittle deformations response reduction factor is assigned.
7. Design Seismic Base Shear
The total design lateral forces or design base shear (Vb) in any principal direction shall be determined by the following formula:
Vb=AhW
Where, W= total weight of the building calculated using the structural details,
Ah = Horizontal Seismic Coefficient
8. Compute distribution of Design Force
The design base shear (Vb) computed by the above equation shall now be distributed along the height to different floors under consideration as per the expression:
Qi=VbWihi2/∑j=1 to nWjhj2
Where, Qi = Design lateral force at ith floor,
Wi = Seismic weight of ith floor,
hi = Height of ith floor measured w.r.t base
n = Number of storeys
The equivalent static force procedure is permitted for building in low seismic regions, regular building below some height limit, and short building having certain irregularities. It may be a good choice by designers owing to its simplicity when dynamic analysis is not required.
B. Linear Dynamic Method
Dynamic analysis is conducted in order to obtain a linear (elastic) or a non-linear (inelastic) structural response of a structure. When elastic analysis is gone through, an empirical assessment of inelastic response is made as the design philosophy is based on non-linear behaviour of buildings under strong earthquakes. Inspite of all this engineering do not deter from preferring linear dynamic analysis owing to its simplicity and direct correspondence to the design response spectra given in building codes.This involves two methods:
C. Non-linear Static Method
This is the procedure in which the structure is pushed till collapse to generate the pushover curve, which is then used to obtain the target displacement at which the response quantity is extracted from the deformed model. Non-linear static analysis or Pushover analysis method has been developed over the past years and it has become the preferred analysis method for design as well as for carrying the seismic performance evaluation because of it being relatively simple and also because it considers post-elastic behaviour. However, the procedure involves certain approximations, assumptions & simplifications that some amount of variation is bound to exist while estimating seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis. Pushover analysis is a static, non-linear procedure which uses simplified non-linear technique for estimation of seismic structural deformations. It is an incremental type of static analysis used to form the force-displacement relation, or the capacity curve, for a structure or a special structural element. The analysis involves applying horizontal loads, in a prescribed way, to the structure incrementally (pushing the structure and plotting the total applied shear force and corresponding lateral displacement at each increment) all the way upto the collapse condition. In non-linear static analysis, demand is represented by making an estimation of the displacements or deformations that the structure is expected to show. The physical model used in the static non-linear pushover analysis is based on the procedure put forward by the ATC-40 and FEMA 273/274 document which defines the force-deformation criteria for the hinges used in the analysis. The Structural Performance Level of a building shall be chosen from 4 discrete Structural Performance Levels and 2 intermediate Structural Performance Ranges & the design procedures cum acceptance criteria corresponding to these Structural Performance Levels shall be as specified in FEMA 356.
D. Non-linear Dynamic Analysis
This is the most accurate and acceptable method used to determine the seismic response of structures. In this method the structure is subjected to actual ground motion which is the representation of the ground acceleration vs time curve. The ground acceleration is determined at small time step so as to give the ground motion record. Then the structural response is calculated at every instant of time to gather information regarding its time history and the peak value from this time history is selected as design demand. Hence a Mathematical model incorporating the nonlinear characteristic of individual component and element of the building directly shall be subjected to seismic shaking & represented by ground motion time history to obtain forces and the displacement (FEMA 356). Since numerical model directly takes into account the effect of material non-linearity, inelastic responses and calculated internal forces will be a reasonable approximation for those expected to be observed during the design earthquake.
IV. METHODOLOGY

Apart from studying the effect of location of shear wall on the deflection and storey drift of a building keeping the height same, the effect of height of a building on the deflection and storey drift keeping the shear wall on the core is also studied.

*For making graphs to compare the joint displacements in X due to EQ X only the values upto Storey-7 have been taken into consideration thus, ignoring Storeys-8 & 9.
1) Majority of the lateral forces are taken by Shear walls. 2) For majority of the cases, when shear wall is provided at the core storey drift and joint displacement is lesser as compared to when the same wall is provided at the centre of exterior walls. 3) Keeping the storey height constant, Maximum displacement and Maximum drift of a building is more when the shear wall is provided at the central core of the building. 4) Keeping the position of shear wall fixed at the core of the building, Max. displacement and Max. drift of that building is lesser when the height of the building is lower. 5) If the height of the building is increased further, it becomes unsafe due to increase in the lateral forces and decrease in the magnitude of lateral restraints. 6) For economy shear walls should be put symmetrically around the building. 7) Value of base reaction is more for a building with a core wall and greater height. 8) Torsional damages and fundamental time period is minimized due to provision of a shear wall.
