n the earliest structures at the beginning of the 20th century, structural members
were assumed to carry primarily the gravity loads. Today, however, by the advances
in structural design/systems and highstrength materials, building height is increased,
which necessitates taking into consideration mainly the lateral loads such as wind
and earthquake. Understandably, especially for the tall buildings, as the slenderness,
and so the flexibility increases, buildings suffer from the lateral loads resulting
from wind and earthquake more and more. As a general rule, when other things being
equal, the taller the building, the more necessary it is to identify the proper structural
system for resisting the lateral loads. Currently, there are many structural systems
that can be used for the lateral resistance of tall buildings [2,3].
Structural systems of tall buildings can be divided into two broad categories: interior
structures and exterior structures.
This classification is based on the distribution of the components of the primary
lateral load-resisting system over the building.
2. b) Shear Wall Structure
Shear Wall-Frame Systems (Dual Systems), The system consists of reinforced concrete
frames interacting with reinforced concrete shear walls are adequate for resisting
both the vertical and the horizontal loads acting on them.
3. c) Necessity of Shear Walls
Shear wall system has two distinct advantages over a frame system.
? It provides adequate strength to resist large lateral loads with-out excessive additional
cost.
? It provides adequate stiffness to resist lateral displacements to permissible limits,
thus reducing risk of non-structural damage.
4. d) Seismic Load
The seismic weight of building is the sum of seismic weight of all the floors [8]. The seismic weight of each floor is its full dead load plus appropriate amount of
imposed load, the latter being that part of the imposed loads that may reasonably
be expected to be attached to the structure at the time of earthquake shaking. Earthquake
forces experienced by a building result from ground motions (accelerations) which
are also fluctuating or dynamic in nature, in fact they reverse direction somewhat
chaotically [2,3]. In theory and practice, the lateral force that a building experiences from an earthquake
increases in direct proportion with the acceleration of ground motion at the building
site and the mass of the building. As the ground accelerates back and forth during
an earthquake it imparts backand-forth (cyclic) forces to a building through its foundation
which is forced to move with the ground [1].
5. e) Geo-Technical Consideration
The seismic motion that reaches a structure on the surface of the earth is influenced
by local soil conditions. The subsurface soil layers underlying the building foundation
may amplify the response of the building to earthquake motions originating in the
bedrock.
6. Bearing Capacity of Foundation Soil
Three soil types are considered here: I. Hard -Those soils, which have an allowable
bearing capacity of more than 10t/m2. II. Medium -Those soils, which have an allowable
bearing capacity less than or equal to 10t/m2.
III. Soft -Those soils, which are liable to large differential settlement or liquefaction
during an earthquake.
The allowable bearing pressure shall be determined in accordance with IS: 1888-1982
load test (Revision 1992). a) To understand and evaluation building structures and
aims to the effect of Seismic load on column Forces in Different Type of RC Shear
Walls in Concrete Frame Structures under Different Type of Soil Condition with seismic
loading. b) Modeling a G+29 story high building for five different cases [9][10][11]. c) Analyzing the building dynamic analysis using linear, i.e. Response Spectrum
Analysis [1][2][3]. d) Analyzing the results and arriving at conclusions.
7. a) Dynamic Analysis
Dynamic analysis may be executed to get the design seismic force, and its spread in
different levels through the height of the building, and also various lateral load
resisting element [1-2-3,8].
8. b) Response Spectrum Method
This method is executed to design spectrum, where as it is specified with a code for
specific-site design can be used for a project site for the purposes of dynamic of
steel and reinforce concrete buildings, the values of damping for building may be
taken as 2 and 5 percent of the critical, respectively. response spectrum method is
typically implemented in linear elastic procedures and also very much easier to use.
This also called as or mode superposition method or model method, It also made on
the idea of the superposition of responses given by the building through various modes
of vibrations, each vibration modes is recorded as with its own particular deformed
shape, with its own modal damping and its own frequency [7,8].
9. a) Details of the Building
A symmetrical building[15] of plan 38.5m X 35.5m located with location in high Seismic
zone considered. Four bays of length 7.5m & one bays of length 8.5m along X -direction
and four bays of length 7.5m & one bays of length 5.5m along Y -direction are provided.
Shear is provided the center inner core of model building.
Struct I: G+29 story'stall building with Plus shape RC shear wall at the center of
structure. Struct II: G+29 story'stall building with Box shape RC shear wall at the
center of structure. Struct III: G+29 story'stall building with C-shape RC shear wall
at the center of structure.
Struct IV: G+29 story'stall building with E-shape RC shear wall at the center of structure.
Struct V: G+29 story'stall building with I-shape RC shear wall at the center of structure.
10. b) Load Combinations
As per IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 Clause no. 6.3.1.2, the following load cases have to
be considered for analysis: "1.2 (DL + IL ± EL)" "1.5 (DL ± EL)" "EQXP&EQYP" Earthquake
load must be considered for +X, -X, +Y and -Y Directions [5][6][7]. EQXP & EQYP in different type of soil conditions (soft, medium and hard) were
considered, in this regard we compared all column forces in different type of soil
condition of structures II, III, IV, V with structure I (plus shape shear wall), also
compared forces in hard and medium soils with soft soil for all five structures.
11. a) Discussion on Results
When a structure is subjected to earthquake, it responds by vibrating. An example
force can be resolved into three mutually perpendicular directionstwo horizontal directions
(X and Y directions) and the vertical direction (Z) [8]. This motion causes the structure to vibrate or shake in all three directions; the
predominant direction of shaking is horizontal. All the structures are primarily designed
for gravity loads-force equal to mass time's gravity in the vertical direction. Vertical
acceleration should also be considered in structures with large spans those in which
stability for design, or for overall stability analysis of structures. The basic intent
of design theory for earthquake resistant structures is that buildings should be able
to resist minor earthquakes without damage, resist moderate earthquakes without structural
damage but with some non-structural damage. To avoid collapse during a major earthquake,
Members must be ductile enough to absorb and dissipate energy by post elastic deformation.
Redundancy in the structural system permits redistribution of internal forces in the
event of the failure of key elements. When the primary element or system yields or
fails, the lateral force can be redistributed to a secondary system to prevent progressive
failure.
When a structure is subjected to an earthquake excitation, it interacts with the foundation
and the soil, and thus changes the motion of the ground [2,8]. This means that the movement of the whole ground-structure system is influenced
by the type of soil as well as by the type of structure. Understanding of soil structure
interaction will enable the designer to design structures that will behave better
during an earthquake.
From the above results and discussions, following conclusions can be drawn:
? The shear wall and it is position has a significant influenced on the time period,
the time period is not influenced by the type of soil, in tall building with box shape
Shear Walls is showing the low time period which shows a very significant performance.
? Shear is effected marginally by placing of the shear wall, grouping of shear wall
and type of soil. The shear is increased by adding shear wall due to increase the
seismic weight of the building. ? The Axial force and Moment in the column increases
when the type of soil changes from hard to medium and medium to soft. Since the column
moment increase as the soil type changes, soil structure interaction must be suitably
considered while designing frames for seismic force. ? It is evident that the maximum
column axial force is various with type of soil and placing of the shear wall. ? It
is evident that the maximum column shear force in X-direction is influenced by the
type of soil and placing of the shear wall. ? It is evident that the maximum column
shear force in Y-direction has no influence on the type of soil and placing shear
wall. ? It is evident that the maximum column torsion is same for all columns in a
structure, but is influenced by the type of soil and placing shear wall. ? It is evident
that the maximum column moment in Xdirection has no influence on the type of soil
and placing shear wall. ? It is evident that the maximum column moment in Ydirection
is influenced by the type of soil and placing of shear wall. ? It is evident that
the results from1.2 (DL + IL ± EL) combination load is closed to the 1.5 (DL + EL)
and there is no more difference between these combination load. ? Based on the analysis
and discussion, shear wall are very much suitable for resisting earthquake induced
lateral forces in multistoried structural systems when compared to multistoried structural
systems whit out shear walls. They can be made to behave in a ductile manner by adopting
proper detailing techniques. ? According to IS-1893:2002 the number of modes to be
used in the analysis should be such that the total sum of modal masses of all modes
considered is at least 90 percent of the total seismic mass. Here the maximum mass
is for the tall building with box shape RC shear wall. ? ETABS is the robust software
which is utilized foranalyzing any kind of multi building structures.
