ABSTRACT - Scholars have created a damage avoidance design philosophy to minimize structural damage in recent years, as opposed to traditional design ideas that are largely damage-oriented. In addition to dispersion tools and restoring force systems, a rocking system aims to lessen seismic pressures on buildings' earthquake forces. These techniques have been adopted in order to reduce the impacts of seismic pressures and boost building structural resilience. Asymmetry in structural design is commonly associated with poor structural performance under severe earthquake stresses. During seismic occurrences, this imbalance has a substantial influence on the coupling of translational and torsional reactions, resulting in considerable lateral deflections, member forces, and probable collapse. The seismic performance of an asymmetric structure with rocking shear walls is compared to that of conventional shear walls in this study. Many performance characteristics have been investigated to determine if rocking shear walls are preferable to traditional shear walls. A detailed comparison is performed to demonstrate the advantages and use of rocking shear walls in decreasing seismic loads and enhancing the performance of mid-rise asymmetric buildings, particularly in earthquake circumstances. The findings of this study might be utilized to design more durable structures for earthquake-prone locations, as well as contribute to the advancement of seismic design technology in the field.
