Earthquake Vibration Control using Modified Framed Shear Wall
Keywords:
Earthquake vibration, reinforced concrete building collapse, Displacement, shear wallAbstract
The building is subjected to different load combinations as per the code recommends and base shear, displacement, drift values, time period, forces in columns and beams were obtained at different storey level. Later on, the same building model is strengthened by providing external shear wall in parallel direction of building plan and connecting the external shear wall with the beams and columns of existing building using links of (25 mm Diameter steel Bars of Fe415) and again the building is subjected to the different load combination, now it is found that displacement, drift value have been decreased to a reasonable extent which is within the permissible limit. Also this time those members which was found to be weak in carrying the lateral forces due to less stiffness earlier, are now strong enough in carrying lateral load. Then finally the outcomes and results are stated, comparisons are made and different graphs have been plotted and their relations have also discussed in detail.
