Shear wall Analysis and Design optimization in case of high rise buildings
Abstract
In the present era of rapid urbanization, the construction of high-rise buildings has become increasingly common.The safety and performance of these structures under lateral loads such as wind and earthquakes are of paramount importance.Shear walls play a crucial role in resisting these lateral forces and enhancing the overall stiffness and stability of the structure.This study focuses on the analysis and design optimization of shear walls in high-rise buildings using modern computational tools.A comparative analysis is conducted on different configurations and placements of shear walls to determine the optimal design that ensures both structural efficiency and material economy.The research concludes that the strategic positioning and optimized design of shear walls significantly improve the building's lateral load resistance while minimizing construction costs.
