Design and Analysis of High Rise Building With Shear Wall and Overhead Water Tank Using Etabs

Abstract

The shear wall system is one of the most widely used lateral load-resisting construction solutions. A shear wall is among the greatest structural elements to withstand lateral forces. Shear walls, also known as structural walls composed of reinforced concrete, are crucial elements used in building construction that can resist earthquakes. Because of their great plane stiffness and strength, shear walls are very helpful in many structural engineering applications. They may be used to support heavy horizontal loads and gravity loads simultaneously. When seismic forces are applied to a structure, flexural elements are often used to keep the whole thing from collapsing. Since the properties of these seismic shear walls influence how the structures act, it is essential to assess the walls' seismic reaction precisely.

This study examines a 26-story building with an above-water tank and a shear wall condition system using ETABS software. To help with the study, the response spectrum analysis technique is used. Results like time period, model stiffness, storey bending, and shear are analysed for the G+25 building model.
