Comparison and Analysis of Multi Storey Building with or Without Shear Wall Using Staad Pro

Due to the increasing frequency of earthquakes in the past, there has been a growing demand for earthquake-resistant buildings. One way to fulfil this demand is to incorporate shear walls into the building’s structure to resist the lateral forces generated by wind, earthquakes, and other sources. Shear walls are typically made of reinforced concrete, masonry, or steel and are placed at strategic locations throughout the building to provide stability and prevent structural failure during a seismic event. In the present work, G+6 story building has been modelled using software STAAD PRO for Zone factor-0.1 in Nagpur, India. The analysis is by carried out of R.C.C building with different posting of shear wall on floor plan of by using STAAD PRO software. The present work presents a comprehensive analysis of reinforced concrete buildings with various configurations, considering factors such as location and thickness of shear walls, to investigate their efficacy in withstanding lateral forces.
