Abstract
Large number of high rise buildings are coming up recently in all the places. As the height of the building increases, it becomes vulnerable to seismic loads since it is unpredictable and dynamic in nature. The structural safety is the most important factor that the structural engineer must keep in mind along with building serviceability.Therefore, the designers are in a necessity to provide adequate lateral strength and stability to the structure against seismic loads. Hence to satisfy the strength and stability aspect of the structure, shear walls are introduced into the high-rise RC frame buildings,since it is one of the easy and efficient way to resist the lateral loads. In this paper, pushover analysis is carried out on RC frame model with and without shear walls. The behaviour of the structure is observed and the performance point for different models with shear wall and without shear wall are determined and compared. The pushover analysis is done by using the software package ETABS 2016.
