Abstract - Walls with prestressed tendons along with energy dissipating devices are called as Hybrid PT Shear Walls. A simplified numerical model will be used with good correlation of past experimental studies. The model will be developed in computational software SAP2000. Further this validate model will be integrated into a multi storey building frame. And the performance of the building is compared with conventional & hybrid PT shear wall. Performance of the building is compared in terms of strength, stiffness, ductility, energy dissipation capacity and residual lateral displacement.This study examines the behaviour mentioned above.
