INTRODUCTIONThe reinforced concrete shear wall is importantstructural elements placed in multi-storeybuildings which is situated in seismic zonesbecause they have a high resistance to lateralearthquake loads. RC shear walls must havesufficient ductility to avoid brittle failure underthe action of strong lateral seismic loads. The

adverse effect for tall building is the higherlateral loads due to wind and expectedearthquake. Thus shear walls are introducedinto modern tall buildings to make the structuralsystem more efficient in resisting the horizontaland gravity loads, ground motions as wellthereby causing less damage to the structureduring earthquake. Shear walls in apartment

The reinforced concrete shear wall is one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting inhigh rise building. The reinforced concrete shear wall building is high in plane stiffness andstrength which can be used to simultaneously resist large horizontal load and support gravityload. The scope of the present work was to study seismic responses of the ten storey RC shearwall building with and without opening. Developed mathematical modeling and analyzed thereinforced concrete shear wall building by using different nonlinear methods (time history andpushover method). These methods differ in respect to accuracy, simplicity, transparency andclarity of theoretical background. Non-linear static procedures were developed with the aim ofovercoming the insufficiency and limitations of linear methods, whilst at the same time maintaininga relatively simple application. All procedures incorporate performance-based concepts payingmore attention to damage control. Analysis is carried out by using standard package SAP2000.The comparison of these models for different parameters like displacement, storey drift andbase shear has been presented by RC shear wall building with and without opening.

buildings will be perforated with rows ofopenings that are required for windows inexternal walls or doors ways or corridors ininternal walls. However the opening sizes inthe shear wall building may have an adverseeffect on seismic responses of frame-shearwall structures. Relative stiffness of shear wallsis important since lateral forces are distributedto the individual shear wall according to theirrelative stiffness. Simplified methods forstiffness of shear walls with openings arerecommended in several design guidelines. Itis necessary to know the effects of openingssizes and configurations in shear wall onstiffness as well as on seismic responses andbehavior of structural system so that a suitableconfiguration of openings in shear walls canbe made.

Reinforced concrete shear wall buildingsare designed primarily to serve the needs ofan intended occupancy. One of the dominantdesign requirements is therefore the provisionof an appropriate internal layout of buildings.Once the functional layout is established thento develop a structural system that will satisfythe established design criteria as efficientlyand economically as possible while fitting intothe architectural layout. The vital structuralcriteria are an adequate reserve of strengthagainst failure, lateral stiffness and an efficientperformance during the service life of thebuildings.

SEISMIC ANALYSIS METHODSNonlinear Static Analysis -Pushover Analysis

Pushover analysis is an approximate analysismethod in which the structure is subjected tomonotonically increasing lateral forces with an

invariant height-wise distribution until a targetdisplacement is reached. Pushover analysisconsists of a series of sequential elasticanalysis, superimposed to approximate aforce-displacement curve of the overallstructure. A two or three dimensional modelwhich includes bilinear or trilinear load-deformation diagrams of all lateral forceresisting elements are first created and gravityloads are applied initially. A predefined lateralload pattern which is distributed along thebuilding height is then applied. The lateralforces are increased by some members yield.The structural model is modified to account forthe reduced stiffness of yields members andlateral forces are again increased untiladditional members yield. The process iscontinued until a control displacement at thetop of the building reaches a certain level ofdeformation or structure becomes unstable.The roof displacement is plotted with baseshear to get the global capacity curve.

Pushover analysis can be performed asforce-controlled or displacement-controlled. Inforce-controlled pushover procedure, the fullload combination is applied as specified, i.e.,force-controlled procedure should be usedwhen the load is known (such as gravityloading). Also, in force-controlled pushoverprocedure some numerical problems thataffect the accuracy of results occur since targetdisplacement may be associated with a verysmall positive or even a negative lateralstiffness because of the development ofmechanisms and P-delta effects.

Pushover analysis has been the preferredmethod for seismic performance evaluation ofstructures by the major rehabilitation guidelines

and codes because it is conceptually andcomputationally simple. Pushover analysisallows tracing the sequence of yielding andfailure on member and structural level as wellas the progression of the overall capacity curveof the structure.

Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis TimeHistory Analysis

Nonlinear dynamic analysis is most accuratemethod to determine the seismic responsesof structures. In this method the structure issubjected to actual ground motion which is therepresentation of the ground accelerationversus time. The ground acceleration isdetermined at small time step to give theground motion record. Then the structuralresponse is calculated at every time instant toknow its time history and the peak value of thistime history is chosen to be design demand.Hence, A mathematical model directlyincorporating the nonlinear characteristic ofindividual component and element of thebuilding shall be subjected to earthquakeshaking represented by ground motion timehistory to obtain forces and the displacement.Since numerical model directly accounts forthe effect of material nonlinearity, inelasticresponses and calculated internal forces willbe reasonably approximate to those expectedduring the design earthquake. There are twomethods by which the time history analysis iscarried out (a) Nonlinear Modal Time HistoryAnalysis; and (b) Nonlinear Direct IntegrationTime History Analysis.

Nonlinear Modal Time HistoryAnalysis

As mentioned earlier, from the fundamental ofstructural dynamics it is clear that the response

of the MDOF system can be estimated fromits modal responses. In this analysis, also calledas Response history Analyses, the modal loadvectors are determined for the predefined noof modes. For the selected mode, the staticanalysis of the structure is carried out toestimate its modal static responses, thestructure being subjected to correspondingmodal load vector. Then the dynamic analysisof the corresponding ESDOF system iscarried out to get its spectral ordinates at everytime step. This spectral ordinate at each timestep is multiplied with the corresponding modalstatic response to get the actual Time historyof that response for that modal quantity. Thesame procedure is carried out to other modesand corresponding modal response history isdetermined. These modal responses are thenadded at each time step to get the time historyof the selected response for the design groundmotion record.

Nonlinear Direct Integration TimeHistory Analysis-

The fundamental equation governing theresponse of MDOF system subjected to ground

acceleration is given by ( )u t

.sin ( )s gmu cu f u u mtu t The only unknown quantity in the above

expression is the displacement vector u. In thismethod the above equation is formulated forthe entire structure at every time step at whichthe ground acceleration is determined. Thisequation is then solved by any of the well knownmethods to get directly the displacement ateach time step. The other response quantitytime history is then calculated from knowndisplacement time history. The peak from the

186



particular response time history is thenselected as the design demand.

STRUCTURAL MODELINGAND ANALYSISThe finite element analysis software SAP2000,Nonlinear is utilized to create 3D models andrun all analyses. The software is able to predictthe geometric nonlinear behavior of spaceframes under static or dynamic loadings,taking into account both geometric nonlinearityand material inelasticity. The software acceptsstatic loads (either forces or displacements)as well as dynamic (accelerations) actions andhas the ability to perform eigenvalues,nonlinear static pushover and nonlineardynamic analyses.
