ABSTRACT
Shear walls and outriggers have been used so far to resist theseismicwavesof
earthquake and heavy winds actions. The complete failure of the structures
that has occurred in the past due to catastrophic earthquake may be avoided
with the use of shear wall in the structure. The studyisconcernedwiththeuse
of shear wall as a single core in structure that will resist the seismic waves of
earthquake. In the present study analysis of RCC buildinghasbeencarriedout
by changing the locations of shear walls in the building. The seismic analysis
performed is linear dynamic response spectrum analysis using the well-
known analysis and design softwareETABS16.2.0.Seismicperformanceofthe
building has been investigated based on parameterssuchasstroreydrift, base
shear and storey displacement.

1. INTRODUCTION
The Displacement of a tall building caused by horizontal
forces due to wind or earthquake can be reduced by the
provision of core. The core is the main lateral force-resistant
component. The maximum horizontal displacement is
limited by codes for the stability of the building and for the
comfort of its occupants. Also,thecodeslimittheinterstorey
drift ratio, defined as the difference of drift in two
consecutive floors divided by the vertical distance between
them. The sum of the moments at the ends of a column at a
floor level is a couple transferred, in the opposite direction,
to the floor; the floor must be designed for the flexural and
shear stress caused by the transfer. The moments
transferred between the columns and the floors are mainly
dependent on the inter storey drift ratio.
The primary purpose of different types of structural system
in buildings is to resist gravity loads like dead, live loads.
Besides these vertical loads, lateral loads caused by wind,
earthquake also acts on buildings. It is very important that
structure should resist both vertical loads and lateral loads.
The shear wall-frame system is the most commonly used
structural system in reinforced concrete buildings to
counteract the effect of both gravity and horizontal loads.
These shear wall-frame system have high lateral resistance
against horizontal loads by placing shear walls in an
advantageous location in the plan of building.
Shear Wall
Shear walls are vertical reinforced concrete structural
elements to resist both gravityandlateral loadsactingonthe
structure. The thickness of wall varies from 200 to 500mm,
depends on the height of the building and seismic zone of
building area. They are different types of shear walls in
building system 1) simple rectangulartypeandflangedwalls
2) coupled shear wall 3) core type shear wall. The simple
rectangular wall is generally placed between periphery
columns of building and core walls are placed around the
staircase and elevator to resist the vibration loads and
lateral loads. In the present study core wall are included in
the building frame. Normally the civil engineeringstructures
are designed within the elastic range, but under a strong
seismic event, a structure may really be subjected to forces
past its flexible breaking point. In spite of the fact that
construction laws can give a dependable sign of real
execution of individual structural components, it is out of
their extension to depict the normal execution of planned
structure as a whole, under huge forces. A few businesses,
for example, car and flight, routinely construct full-scale
models and perform broad testing,beforeassemblinga large
number of indistinguishable structures, that have been
examined and composed with the thought of test outcomes.
Unfortunately, this choice is not accessible to building
industry as because of the uniqueness of normal individual
structures, the economy of substantial scale creation is
unachievable.

Outriggers
Although outriggers have been used for approximately four
decades, their existence as a structural member has a much
longer history. Outriggers have been used in the sailing ship
industry for many years. They are used to resist wind. The
slender mast provides the use ofoutriggers.Asa comparison
the core can be related to the mast, the outriggers are like
the spreaders and the exterior columns are like the shrouds
or stays. Innovative structural schemes are continuously
being sought in the field. Structural Design of High-Rise
Structures with the intention of limiting the Drift due to
Lateral Loads to acceptable limits without paying a high
premium in steel tonnage. The savings in steel tonnage and
cost can be dramatic if certain techniques are employed to
utilize the full capacities of the structural elements. Various
wind bracing techniques havebeendevelopedinthisregard;
one such is an Outrigger System, in which the axial stiffness
of the peripheral columns is invoked for increasing the
resistance to overturning moments. This efficient structural
form consists of a central core, comprising either Braced
Frames or Shear Walls, with horizontal cantilever trusses or
girders known as outrigger Trusses, connecting the core to
the outer columns. The core may be centrally located with
outriggers extending on both sides (Fig.2.a) or it may be
located on one side of the building withoutriggersextending
to the building columns on one side (Fig.2.b).
Fig.2 (a) Outrigger system with a central core (b)
Outrigger system with offset core
When Horizontal loading acts on the building, the column
restrained outriggers resist the rotation of the core, causing
the lateral deflections and moments in the coretobesmaller
than if the free-standing core alone resisted the loading. The
result is to increase the effective depth ofthestructurewhen
it flexes as a vertical cantilever, by inducing tension in the
windward columns and Compression in the leeward
columns. In addition to those columns located at the ends of
the outriggers, it is usual to also mobilize other peripheral
columns to assist in restraining the outriggers. This is
achieved by including a deep Spandrel Girder, or a Belt
Truss, around the structure at the levels oftheoutriggers. To
make the Outriggers and Belt Truss adequately stiff in
flexure and shear, they are made at least one, and often 2 –
stories deep. It is also possible to use diagonals extending
through several floors to act as outriggers. And finally,
girders at each floor may be transformed into outriggers by
moment connections to the core and, if desired, to the
exterior columns as well. Here, it should be noted that while
the outrigger system is very effective in increasing the
structure’s flexural stiffness,itdoesn’tincreaseitsresistance
to shear, which has to be carried mainly by the core.

4. MODELLING
General
In this study, total twenty-seven models are considered to
perform the seismic analysis. All the models having 20
stories and height of each storey was 3m. First nine models
are in the square plan of 21m x 21m with 5 bays on eachside
and the next eighteen models are asymmetric in plan. In all
the models the lateral loads are resisted by withandwithout
single core (SW & BR) with varying position of core.
Response spectrum method of seismicanalysisiscarried out
as per IS 1893:2016. Modeling and analysis are done in
ETABS software.
Response Spectrum Analysis
Earthquake engineers preferred to report an interaction
between the acceleration of ground and structural system
through response spectrum first proposed by Biot and later
popularized by Housner. A Response spectrum is a plot of
the maximum response of a set ofSDOF systemssubjected to
ground motion as ordinate and corresponding time periods
of the SDOF system as abscissa. This methodisapplicable for
those structures where modes other than the basic mode
that influences the structure reaction. In this method the
Multi-degree-of-Freedom (MDOF) system response is
expressed as the superposition of modal response, by the
spectral analysisofsingle-degree-of-freedom(SDOF)system,
the response of each mode beingdetermined, whicharethen
combined to find out the total response.
Methods of combining modal response:
A. Absolute – peak values are added together
B. Square root of the sum of the squares (SRSS)
C. Complete quadratic combination (CQC)

5. CONCLUSION
Satisfying the requirement of the stability conditions for a
single core structure will becomplicatedone,comparedwith
the structures supported in all sides depending upon their
configuration. Single core structureisa critical onewhenitis
subjected to unsymmetrical and eccentric loading
conditions. Eccentric loading will causethestructuretotwist
in any direction and may cause failure of structure. By the
study, we want to explore a new dimension of the existing
construction techniques. This study describes planning,
structural analysis and design of the single core building.
The Buildings with single core at corner and side position
tends to go in Torsion Mode which develops extra forces in
the frames. Greater Economy can be achievedbykeepingthe
single Cores at Centre of the Buildings. Building at center
core will gives economical design as well as sufficient
amount of safety.
