Analysis of Seismic Response of a Unsymmetrical Building(G+13) using Etabs

From the past records of earthquake, there is increase in the demand of earthquake resisting building which can be fulfilled by providing the shear wall systems in the buildings. In this we have considered an unsymmetrical plan under earthquake load and wind load. There are two models have taken to analyze: - 1. Bare frame structure and 2. Shear wall Structure. Shear walls are generally provided for full height of the frame. Shear wall systems are one of the most used lateral load resisting systems in high-rise buildings. The earthquake and wind load are applied in an unsymmetrical building located at zone-III. A comparative analysis has been done between building having bare frame and shear wall structure. The complete analysis is done using E-TABS Software. Lateral displacement, Time period and story drift are calculated in both the cases. It was observed that Multistoried Buildings with shear wall is more able to resist lateral loads as compared to without shear wall.
