Abstract: The Shear walls are commonly used as a vertical structural element. They are used for resisting the
lateral loads which are induced by the loads due to wind and earthquake. Besides shear walls also carry gravity
loads. An attempt is made for seismic analysis of RCC building with shear wall at different locations using STAAD
pro. A 6 storey building is taken under consideration. Four different Model of RCC building are used, one with no
shear wall and other four models with different position of shear wall. Results will be obtained from analysis and
plotted to compare and to have knowledge of behavior of RCC framed structures with shear walls using Response
spectrum Analysis which is subjected to earthquake load in zone V. The parameters like storey drift, lateral
displacement, and base shear will be studied and suitable location of shear wall will be determined among these
models. This study also incorporates how the shear force, bending moment for beam and axial Force for column
vary with change in the position of RC shear wall. The whole analysis is done on STAAD. Pro V8i software.

Keywords: Shear wall, response spectrum, Lateral loading, STAAD Pro V8i.

I. INTRODUCTION

Earthquake may occur at any place on the surface of the earth. The possibility is where there is a major fault. In this work
the main focus is to analyze an RCC building with shear wall at different locations using code IS 13920-1993 for ductile
detailing. The code used for earthquake loadings is IS 1893- 2002. A shear wall is a structural system composed of braced
panels (also known as shear panels) to counter the effects of lateral load acting on a structure. Wind and seismic loads are
the most common loads that shear walls are designed to carry. Reinforced concrete multi-storeyed buildings in India, for
the first time, have been subjected to a strong ground motion shaking in Bhuj earthquake (January 26, 2001). It has been
observed that the principal reasons of failure of building are lack of stiffness, faulty construction practices, mass
irregularity and floating columns etc. In this work shear wall is provided at different locations symmetrically and the
building frame considered is also symmetrical.

V. CONCLUSION
The behaviour of a RC building was analysed with shear wall at different locations and conclusion may be drawn from
this study.
1) The least storey drift in each, x & z direction is to be found for Model-3and the maximum storey drift for Model-1 is
found at storey 2nd.
2) The peak storey shear is maximum forModel-2 and minimum for Model-1
3) Analysis using software makes the structure as designer likes.
4) Structure can be compared and designed easily by using staad pro. and can be used to investigate the structure for
strength & economy points of profit.
Therefore, the overall conclusion is shedding light toward the Model-3 that it is the most effective location among all
other locations.
