Effect of Different Position of Shear Wall on Deflection

This paper discusses importance of the lateral stiffness of a building on its wind and seismic design. To reduce damage in the event of wind and an earthquake, it is desirable to have large lateral stiffness. Shear walls contribute significant lateral stiffness, strength, and overall ductility and energy dissipation capacity. Therefore we have introduced shear walls at different location on plan of building like side centre shear wall, corner shear wall, shear wall at near to centre of building plan. The effect of shear wall on deflection is studied in A1, B1, C1 & D1 models of 30 storied building
