Analysis of a Multistory Commercial Building using ETABS
Author : Veerendra Nippani and Dr. Venkatesh V Kalkote
Abstract :
Shear walls are essential structural elements in RCC buildings, providing both vertical support and resistance to lateral forces. They enhance the strength and stiffness of high-rise buildings, especially when exterior walls can't provide enough support. This study focuses on determining the optimal location of shear walls in unsymmetrical high-rise buildings. Various shear wall locations and shapes are analysed using ETABS software for strength and stability. In this storey drift and storey displacement were studied.
