3)Anshuman Set all performed elastic and elasto-plastic analyses using STAAD Pro and SAP V
10.05.(2000) on a fifteen storey building located in earthquake zone IV and calculated bending
moment and storey drift in both the cases. Shear forces and bending moment were
considerably reduced after providing shear wall. It was observed that the inelastic analysis
performance point was small and within elastic limit therefore results obtained using elastic
analysis are adequate.
4)Dr. B.Kameswari studied the drift and inter storey drift of a high rise structure for different
configuration of shear wall panels and compared it with that of bare frame. The configurations
considered are (1)Conventional shear walls(2)Alternate arrangement of shear walls(3)Diagonal
arrangement of shear walls (4)Zigzag arrangement of shear walls(5)Influence of lift core walls.
The zigzag arrangement of shear wall was found to be better than other configurations as it
enhances the strength and stiffness of the structure by reducing the lateral drift and inter storey
drift than other types of walls and is most effective in earthquake prone areas.
5) Ugale Ashish B and Raut Harshlata R conducted an analysis on behavior of steel plate shear
wall in G+6 building frame located in seismic zone III using STAAD Pro and compared it with a
Building frame without shear wall. The building with steel plate shear wall showed very less
deflection, shear force and bending moment and overall stiffness was found to be increased. It
was found that Steel plate shear walls occupy less space than RCC Shear wall
6)Shahabodin Zaregairizi investigated on using shear wall and infill to improve seismic
performance of existing buildings. On doing static analysis to compare effectiveness of both
methods it was observed that concrete in-fills showed greater strength than brick one but brick
in-fills accepted large displacement than concrete in-fills. So if they are used in combination their
individual negative effects will be reduced.
7) Men Jinje et al proposedan optimization formulation for RC shear wall structures after doing
investigation based on conceptual design methodology. A 30 storey tall building with RC shear
wall and with rectangular layout was considered. investigation was done on six shear wall
structural schemes and parameters like lateral stiffness, ratio of inter storey drift, seismic
response force, ratio of torsional period to translational period were calculated and conclusion
was drawn that arrangement of shear walls have influence on material consumption and
concrete consumption and steel consumption increase with the increase in aspect ratio of the
building.
8) Chun Ni studied the performance of shear wall with diagonal lumber sheathing by testing on
16 full scale shear walls and determining the effects of hold owns, vertical load and width of
lumber sheathing on in plane shear capacity. The in plane shear capacities of shear walls with
double diagonal lumber sheathing was found to be 2-3 times higher than that of shear walls
with single diagonal lumber sheathing.
9) T. Sonos et al proposed the use of crossed inclined bars in joint region to improve the seismic
resistance of exterior reinforced concrete beam column joints
10) A Ravi Kumar conducted a thorough study for determining the solution for shear wall
location in multi storey building based on its elastic and elasto-plastic behaviours. He analysed a
10 storey building, 40m in height for earthquake load using ETABS. He concluded that shear
walls are one of the most effective building elements in resisting lateral forces during earthquake
and for a developing nation like India shear wall construction is considered to be a back bone for
construction industry.
11) Natalino Gattesco conducted comparative study with code provision on timber shear walls
with particle boards and one opening for windows. From experiments it was found that there is
very less difference in shear capacity, ductility and dissipative capacity between perforated and
solid walls of equal dimension and there is considerable increase in shear capacity in double
number nailed panel.
(12) Qiuhong ZHAO studied traditional composite shear wall and an innovative shear wall. The
Traditional reinforced concrete wall is in direct contact with the boundary steel frame whereas in
the innovative system there is a gap in between. He conducted cyclic test on both the systems
and both of them showed highly ductile and inelastic behaviour and both were able to tolerate
more than 17 cycles of inelastic shear displacement and reach maximum inter storey drift of
more than 0.05.The innovative composite shear wall system was found to be more ductile than
traditional composite shear wall but the strength and stiffness of traditional system was found to
be higher. By introducing gap in the innovative system, damage to concrete wall under relatively
large cycles was much less than the damage to concrete wall in the traditional system.
13) Wen - I Liao conducted test on four large scale shear wall, two shear walls under shake table test and two shear
walls under reverse cyclic loading. Steel bars were provided at 45 degrees to horizontal which is very close to
direction of applied tensile stresses .Dynamic loading on two shear walls induced by shake table was studied and
the response time histories for the accelerations and displacements and hysteretic loops was presented Force
displacement hysteric loops was also presented for shear walls under reversed cyclic loading and conclusion was
drawn that with placement of steel bars in direction of applied stresses high seismic performance is achieved.
14) A.B. Karnale analysed different configurations of shear wall for 6(low rise) and 14storey In
this paper, researchers presented the results for different configurations of shear walls for 6 storey (Low Rise)
and 14 storey (High Rise) building using ETABs software. A comparison was done between the effects
observed due to height of structure and it was found that shear wall is more effective in high rise buildings than
in low rise buildings.
15) M. Mosoarca, did theoretical and experimental study on failure modes of three types of reinforced
concrete shear walls with staggered openings and compared results with results of walls with vertical ordered
openings. The failure modes of the structural walls under seismic stress had been identified using calculus
programs and cyclic alternated experimental tests.
CONCLUSION
* Thus shear walls are one of the most effective building elements in resisting
lateral forces during earthquake.
* By constructing shear walls damages due to effect of lateral forces due to
earthquake and high winds can be minimized.
* Shear walls construction will provide larger stiffness to the buildings there by
reducing the damage to structure and its contents.
* Not only its strength, in order to accommodate huge number of population in a
small area tall structures with shear walls are considered to be most useful.
* Hence a developing country like India, shear wall will be a backbone to our
construction industry.
