Scrutinizing the Structural Response of Regular and Irregular Structure (With and Without Shear Wall) Subjected to Seismic and Wind Loading

Abstract

The spectacular increase in population, living in urban areas and their demands leads to housing problem in India. This results in the rise of multi-storey and high-rise building with irregular configuration. Past earthquake occurrences in India reveals that the buildings with irregular configuration are prone to earthquake damage. Therefore, it is obligatory to identify the seismic and wind response of structures with irregular shape in different zones of India. Shear Wall system is one of the most common systems used for lateral load resistance. It is necessary to identify the response of structure in different zones of India with and without Shear Wall. In the present study the main focus is to thoroughly examine and have a comparative study of the behavior of regular and irregular R.C building with and without shear wall for seismic and wind load activities in different zones of India. Analysis has been done in CYPE Software.
