Seismic Analysis of Building with Shear Wall on Sloping Ground

Abstract

This study investigates the seismic performance of shear wall building on sloping ground. The main objective is to understand the behavior of the building on sloping ground for various positions of shear walls and to study the effectiveness of shear wall on sloping ground. The performance of building has been studied with the help of four mathematical models. Model one is of frame type structural system and other three models are of dual type (shear wall - frame interaction) structural system with three different positions of shear walls. Response spectrum analysis is carried out by using finite element software SAP 2000. The performance of building with respect to displacement, story drift and maximum forces in columns has been presented in this paper.
