Abstract
Shear walls or reinforced concrete structural walls serve as a key component of an earthquake-resistant construction. An effective bracing system and source of lateral load resistance are structural walls. One of the most widely employed lateral-load resisting technologies in high-rise structures is the shear wall system. Shear walls are particularly useful in many structural engineering applications because of their high in-plane stiffness and strength, which may be used to support gravity loads while also supporting huge horizontal loads. It is crucial to properly assess the seismic response of the walls since the characteristics of these seismic shear walls heavily influence how the buildings respond. Comparing the dynamic reactions of frame structures with and without shear walls is the primary goal of this study. Three models are created with different heights with both shear walls and no shear walls. The height-dependent generation of G+5, G+10, and G+15 R-C frame models with and without shear walls results in different structural member dimensions. With regard to seismic zone V in STAAD, the models are analysed using the static method and response spectrum method. Pro V8i. For all the models (with and without shear walls), parameters including lateral displacement, story drift, base shear, and mode shapes are calculated by the three approaches, compared, and the benefits of shear walls are listed. Moreover, comparisons are drawn based on some earlier investigations completed by the other authors.
