| dc.description.abstract | This study presents a comparative structural analysis of a 12-story reinforced concrete building
using the ETABS software. Three different analytical models were developed to evaluate the
impact of shear walls on the overall structural performance. Model 1 represents a conventional
moment-resisting frame without shear walls, while Model 2 and Model 3 incorporate shear
walls in different configurations. The analysis focuses on key structural response parameters,
including story displacement, story drift, and base shear under lateral loading conditions. The
results demonstrate that the inclusion of shear walls significantly enhances the stiffness and
stability of the structure, leading to reduced lateral displacements and inter-story drifts.
Additionally, variations in shear wall positioning between Model 2 and Model 3 show notable
differences in performance, highlighting the importance of optimal shear wall placement in
high-rise building design. From the results, it can be observed that the maximum story
displacement for Model-1 is 3", while for Model-2 it is 0.727", and for Model-3 it is 0.714".
This study provides insights into the effectiveness of shear walls in improving seismic
performance and offers practical guidance for structural engineers in selecting appropriate
lateral load-resisting systems. | en_US |
