Influence of Shear Wall on Seismic Behaviour of Structure

Abstract

Survey of earthquakes from last few decades shows the vulnerability of earthquakes and devastation occurs due to earthquakes. The research on earthquake engineering has resulted in enormous expansion and development of elementary knowledge on the performance, engineering design, retrofitting or strengthening of existing structure for increasing safety factor during earthquake. Considering the growth of urbanization in the field of civil infrastructure consist of all structural development in India. Due to increasing population in urban area there is a problem occurs for parking space for controlling this problem, we were construct open ground storey structure but the behaviour of open ground structure in earthquake is tremendously depraved proves in past earthquake in Gujrat. Hence there is a need of retrofitting of an existing open ground structure by using feasible and practical techniques of retrofitting. Therefore, a comprehensive study on the seismic behaviour and retrofitting of existing structure is of significant important. The research paper focused and described it. In this research paper we studied performance of shear wall as a global retrofitting technique for this purpose three dimensional models are adopted to understand the effect of shear wall and comparative results are presented in graphical form to justify the chosen global retrofitting technique
