Abstract


The construction of high-rise buildings is increasing day by day in urban areas. Those high-rise buildings face significant challenges in resisting lateral forces such as earthquakes and wind loads. So it is necessary to comprehensively understand their behavior under those loading conditions. Shear walls are an essential component of lateral force-resisting systems, plays an important role in enhancing the stability and resilience of those high-rise buildings. Strategically designed and placed shear walls within a structure would serve very effectively in resisting lateral stresses induced during seismic or wind loads. Studying a regular and irregular high-rise structure with and without a SW allowed researchers to understand better on the impacts of SW implementation on displacement, story drifts, time period, overturning moments, and base shear. The performance of SW on seismic activities can be evaluated by various methods such as static equivalent, response spectrum analysis, time history analysis, and pushover analysis method. In this review paper a comprehensive study has been undertaken on the optimum placement and type of shear walls for enhancing seismic performance of high-rise buildings. It also discusses on the effectiveness of different configurations of shear walls and how openings in shear walls affect their contribution to seismic resistance.
