ABSTRACT
High-rise design goals include stability, ease of maintenance, durability, and accommodation of the requirements in minimum
space. Providing enough strength and stability against lateral stresses should be done precisely. Optimal sizing which is of
prime importance for the economy accounts for optimal stiffness co-relationships among structural parts. High-rise structural
system is prone to the effects due to lateral loads, axial forces, shear forces, base shear, maximum story drift, and tensile
forces. In this paper, a comparative study is performed for G+20 Reinforced Concrete (RC) tie-column and tie-beam framed
structures with and without the provision of shear walls. The analysis is performed in the software tool E-Tabs. The applied
loads and load combinations are calculated and considered as per Indian Codal Provisions. The structure is considered to be
located in seismic zone IV. The results of maximum drift values reveal that the maximum drift decreases when a structure is
configured properly with a shear wall.

1 INTRODUCTION:
A building is subjected to a variety of forces, including lateral stresses induced by earthquakes, wind, and blasting. Lateral
loads can generate increased strains, sideways movement, and even vibrations. Furthermore, the plan and design of a building
should be sturdy enough to sustain vertical loads. Broadly a structural system comprises the following constituents:
1) System of Structural Frames: The structural system is a combination of frames, floor slabs, columns, and beams. These
frames have sufficient stiffness and can resist gravity loads.
2) Structural Wall Systems: Structural walls also known as shear walls contain all vertical members in this type of structural
system.
3) Shear Wall and Frame Systems: In the Shear Wall-Frame system, reinforced concrete shear walls interact with concrete
frames to form a plan. A building will face minor non-structural damage if it is sufficiently stiff. Figure 1 depicts the floor
layout of a building configured with a shear wall-frame structure.

Figure 2: Typical Shear Wall Sections
Modeling the structural system is an important step while analyzing lateral loads in building structures. Many models are
developed solely to demonstrate the behavior of a shear wall structure. With this aim, many researchers have conducted their
studies on wall-frame structures and stated the shear walls to be more complicated than typical frame structures. Figure 2
shows the typical shear wall sections.
2 Past Literature Review
In multi-story buildings, the adaption of shear walls has been mandatory to attain higher resistance against lateral loads. The
importance of determining the most effective, efficient and optimum size for shear walls cannot be over sighted [1]. Structures
in high seismic zones may sustain significant damages. The most prevalent solutions for resisting lateral loads generated by
earthquakes, wind, blasts, and other natural calamities are R.C. structures with ductile detailing and steel structures with
bracings. E-TABS is used in computer-aided analysis to determine the most effective lateral load resisting system [2]. The
seismic performance of a building frame can be improved by a well-designed system of shear walls. The study takes into
account various configurations of RC moment resistant framed building structures. According to the findings, symmetrically
placed shear wall arrangements that form a core will result in improved structural performance [3]. In the Indian construction
scenario, high-rise spreading projects have grown extremely popular. Many major Indian cities are located in high-risk seismic
zones, necessitating the reinforcement of buildings to withstand lateral stresses [4]. Priyanka Soni et al. performed structural
analyses on multiple story structures at various locations and heights of the shear walls. The multi-story building was modeled
and analyzed while taking into account all gravitational and lateral loads (Wind Load and Earthquake Load) [5]. They have
Analyzed and designed a reinforced concrete rectangular shear wall to withstand the effects of an earthquake. Amar, et.al.
used STAAD-Pro design software to depict the Shear Force and Lateral Force operating on the Office Building (G+5) in Seismic
Zone IV [6].
Tall buildings must be designed with strength, serviceability, stability, and human comfort in mind. The investigation is
restricted to multi-story reinforced concrete commercial structures in four seismic zones [7]. When a structure is shaken by an
earthquake. The structure shakes in all three directions as a result of this motion [8]. Due to dominant lateral loads, tall
structures experience unusual loading effects and extremely high loading values. The stiffness co-relation of structural
elements is taken into account while sizing. As a result, compared to standard design options, there is a cost savings [9]. It is
necessary to determine the seismic reactions of such structures to develop earthquake-resistant structures. A more significant
methodology for structural seismic analysis is time history analysis. A dynamic analysis of a G+12 multistory practiced RCC
building is performed, taking into account the earthquakes in Koyna and Bhuj [10]. Hence, the concept of structural
engineering as well as the basic understanding of theoretical and practical knowledge of planning and designing are required
for the analysis and design of robust and durable multi-story buildings [11].
3 MODELLING & ANALYSING BUILDING STRUCTURES:
The two most important components in a structure’s analysis and design are selecting an acceptable structural modeling
method that depicts the system's actual behavior and deciding on the analyzing technique to be used for the structure. As

stated in the objective of the study, two types of buildings are considered, i.e., with and without the provision of a shear wall as
shown in figure4. The modeling is performed in ETABS Software and demonstrates the 3-D view of the G+20 story RC plan
building model. using the following two basic concepts:

1) Analyses of the Maximum Story Drift: Inter-storey drift is described as the ratio of lateral displacement of one floor of a
multi-story building concerning the floor just above or below and the height of a building. The drift is found to be
maximum in the top story of any building structure. Maximum drift is defined as the ratio of roof displacement (maximum
displacement) to the total height of a building. Table 1 depicts the adopted data to model the building structure.

2) Model Design: Building model design contains designing the column, beam and slab elements; whose specifications are
specified in Table 1. Two structural systems are considered to compare the behavior of a structure under the effect of
lateral loads: structural systems without a shear wall (model 1) and structural systems with a shear wall (model 2) as
elaborated in Figure 4. The results obtained through analyzing these structural systems are acquired in the form of
maximum story drift.

Note: The dimensions of beam, column, and slab elements for (Model 1 and Model 2) are considered similar to determine the
effect of shear wall provision when the structure is applied with lateral loads. The applied loads and load combinations may vary
in these two models according to Indian Codal Provisions.
6 RESULTS
For a G+ 20 RC Framed structure located in Seismic Zone IV, a comparative study is performed adopting response spectrum
analysis in Software tool - E-tabs. Multiple locations for the provision of shear walls are considered. As per the Indian Seismic
Provisions, a story drift in the structural system with partial safety factor 1 should not exceed 0.004 times the height of a
structure. The obtained results of drift presented in Figures 5-8 indicates that the maximum value of drift is within the
permissible limit of maximum story drift. Figure 5-6 illustrates the maximum story drift in the x-direction as defined by blue
color and the maximum story drift in the y-direction as defined by red color. Figure 7-8 depicts the building's maximum drift
when it is configured with shear walls.

7 CONCLUSIONS
Following salient observations are derived from the analysis of G+20 story RC frame building with and without the provision
of shear walls:
1. The inclusion of a shear wall in an RC Frame Structure minimizes Story Drift, making it safer compared to an RC Frame
Structure without a shear wall. Shear walls in a multi-story building minimize the Story Drift.
2. The appropriate location of shear walls significantly reduces the structure's maximum drift. Summarily provision of
properly designed shear walls is the essential need for RC Framed structures in higher earthquake zones.

Lateral loads can generate increased strains, sideways movement, and even vibrations. Furthermore, the plan and design of a building should be sturdy enough to sustain vertical loads. Broadly a structural system comprises the following constituents: 1) System of Structural Frames: The structural system is a combination of frames, floor slabs, columns, and beams. These frames have sufficient stiffness and can resist gravity loads. 2) Structural Wall Systems: Structural walls also known as shear walls contain all vertical members in this type of structural system. 3) Shear Wall and Frame Systems: In the Shear Wall-Frame system, reinforced concrete shear walls interact with concrete frames to form a plan. A building will face minor non-structural damage if it is sufficiently stiff. Figure 1 depicts the floor layout of a building configured with a shear wall-frame structure.

Many models are developed solely to demonstrate the behavior of a shear wall structure. With this aim, many researchers have conducted their studies on wall-frame structures and stated the shear walls to be more complicated than typical frame structures. Figure 2 shows the typical shear wall sections. 2 Past Literature Review In multi-story buildings, the adaption of shear walls has been mandatory to attain higher resistance against lateral loads. The importance of determining the most effective, efficient and optimum size for shear walls cannot be over sighted [1]. Structures in high seismic zones may sustain significant damages. The most prevalent solutions for resisting lateral loads generated by earthquakes, wind, blasts, and other natural calamities are R.C. structures with ductile detailing and steel structures with bracings. E-TABS is used in computer-aided analysis to determine the most effective lateral load resisting system [2]. The seismic performance of a building frame can be improved by a well-designed system of shear walls. The study takes into account various configurations of RC moment resistant framed building structures. According to the findings, symmetrically placed shear wall arrangements that form a core will result in improved structural performance [3]. In the Indian construction scenario, high-rise spreading projects have grown extremely popular. Many major Indian cities are located in high-risk seismic zones, necessitating the reinforcement of buildings to withstand lateral stresses [4]. Priyanka Soni et al. performed structural analyses on multiple story structures at various locations and heights of the shear walls. The multi-story building was modeled and analyzed while taking into account all gravitational and lateral loads (Wind Load and Earthquake Load) [5]. They have Analyzed and designed a reinforced concrete rectangular shear wall to withstand the effects of an earthquake. Amar, et.al. used STAAD-Pro design software to depict the Shear Force and Lateral Force operating on the Office Building (G+5) in Seismic Zone IV [6]. Tall buildings must be designed with strength, serviceability, stability, and human comfort in mind. The investigation is restricted to multi-story reinforced concrete commercial structures in four seismic zones [7]. When a structure is shaken by an earthquake. The structure shakes in all three directions as a result of this motion [8]. Due to dominant lateral loads, tall structures experience unusual loading effects and extremely high loading values. The stiffness co-relation of structural elements is taken into account while sizing. As a result, compared to standard design options, there is a cost savings [9]. It is necessary to determine the seismic reactions of such structures to develop earthquake-resistant structures. A more significant methodology for structural seismic analysis is time history analysis. A dynamic analysis of a G+12 multistory practiced RCC building is performed, taking into account the earthquakes in Koyna and Bhuj [10]. Hence, the concept of structural engineering as well as the basic understanding of theoretical and practical knowledge of planning and designing are required for the analysis and design of robust and durable multi-story buildings [11]. 3 MODELLING & ANALYSING BUILDING STRUCTURES: The two most important components in a structure’s analysis and design are selecting an acceptable structural modeling method that depicts the system's actual behavior and deciding on the analyzing technique to be used for the structure.

The modeling is performed in ETABS Software and demonstrates the 3-D view of the G+20 story RC plan building model. using the following two basic concepts: Figure 3: 3-D View of G+20 RC Frame Building with shear walls 1) Analyses of the Maximum Story Drift: Inter-storey drift is described as the ratio of lateral displacement of one floor of a multi-story building concerning the floor just above or below and the height of a building. The drift is found to be maximum in the top story of any building structure. Maximum drift is defined as the ratio of roof displacement (maximum displacement) to the total height of a building. Table 1 depicts the adopted data to model the building structure. Table 1: Structural Data of the designed model Type of structure RC Framed G+ 20 Stories Zone IV Zone Factor 0.24 Importance Factor 1 Response Reduction Factor 5 Each floor height 3 meters Thickness of wall 200 mm Thickness of slab 200 mm Weight of Floor finish 1.1 kn/m2 Column size 750mm X 750mm Beam size 450mm X 250mm 2) Model Design: Building model design contains designing the column, beam and slab elements; whose specifications are specified in Table 1. Two structural systems are considered to compare the behavior of a structure under the effect of lateral loads: structural systems without a shear wall (model 1) and structural systems with a shear wall (model 2) as elaborated in Figure 4. The results obtained through analyzing these structural systems are acquired in the form of maximum story drift.

The applied loads and load combinations may vary in these two models according to Indian Codal Provisions. 6 RESULTS For a G+ 20 RC Framed structure located in Seismic Zone IV, a comparative study is performed adopting response spectrum analysis in Software tool - E-tabs. Multiple locations for the provision of shear walls are considered. As per the Indian Seismic Provisions, a story drift in the structural system with partial safety factor 1 should not exceed 0.004 times the height of a structure. The obtained results of drift presented in Figures 5-8 indicates that the maximum value of drift is within the permissible limit of maximum story drift. Figure 5-6 illustrates the maximum story drift in the x-direction as defined by blue color and the maximum story drift in the y-direction as defined by red color. Figure 7-8 depicts the building's maximum drift when it is configured with shear walls. Figure 5: Story Drift for Load Combination 1.5(DL+EQX + EQY) (Model-1)

The inclusion of a shear wall in an RC Frame Structure minimizes Story Drift, making it safer compared to an RC Frame Structure without a shear wall. Shear walls in a multi-story building minimize the Story Drift. 2. The appropriate location of shear walls significantly reduces the structure's maximum drift. Summarily provision of properly designed shear walls is the essential need for RC Framed structures in higher earthquake zones. 8 REFERENCES 1. Sardar SJ, Karadi UN, Sardar J, Karadi N.
