Abstract: A performance - based design is at controlling the structural damage based on precise estimation of
proper response parameter. In performance based seismic analysis evaluates how building is likely to perform.
It is an iterative process with selection of performance objective followed by development of preliminary design,
an assessment whether or not the design meets the performance objective; In the present study pushover
analysis has been done an two multistoried R.C. frame building; In which plan of one building was taken
symmetrical and it consist of 2 bay of 5m in x direction & 2 bay of 4m in y direction and second building having
L shaped unsymmetrical plan. The shear wall is providing for studying their resisting lateral forces. In this
paper highlight the effect of shear wall on R.C frame building when shear wall providing along the longer and
shorter side of the building. The base shear and displacement will decreases of building. The comparative study
has been done for base shear, story drift, spectral acceleration, spectral displacement, story displacement.

I. Introduction
The Concept of seismic design is to provide building structure with sufficient strength and deformation
capacity to sustain seismic demands imposed by ground motion with adequate margin of safety. Even if the
probability of occurrence of earthquake within the life span of structures is very less, strong ground motion
would generally cause greater damage to the structure. For designing the structures for this combination having
less probability and extreme loading, a criterion is adopted in such a way that a major earthquake, with a
relatively low probability of occurrence is expected to cause significant damage which may not be repairable but
not associated with loss of life Performance based seismic design is gaining popularity from last decades. Many
countries are separate document over this method such as FEMA, ATC etc. Recently formulated Euro codes
EC2 and EC8 [Euro code 2, Euro code 8] are also based on performance based design philosophy. But Indian
codes are still silent over this method. Even the IS 1893(part I): 2007 draft doesnt talk about performance based
seismic design
II. Objectives
1) To study the effect of providing shear walls, in RC framed building, using pushover analysis.
2) To compare the seismic response of building in terms of base shear, storey drift, spectral acceleration,
spectral displacement and storey displacements.
3) Determination of performance point of building.
4) To determine the best possible combination of reinforcement that would be both economical and effective.
The resultant roof displacement is then compared with target displacement. If it is lower then, the design is
known as performance based design.
Literature Review
J. B. Mander (2001) reviewed from an historical perspective past and current developments in earthquake
engineered structures. Based on the present state-of-the-practice in New Zealand, and a world-view of the state-
of-the-art, he argued that in order to make progress towards the building of seismic resilient communities,
research and development activities should focus on performance-based design which gives the engineer the
ability to inform clients/owners of the expected degree of damage to enable a better management of seismic risk.
To achieve expected performance outcomes it will be necessary to supplement, current force-based design
standards with displacement-based design methodologies.
Qiang Xue, et al (2003) presented a performance-based seismic design procedure, which is directly associated
with pre-quantified performance criteria, by employing a displacement-based approach. A lower bound of
yielding displacement of the structure to satisfy these performance criteria was proposed.
Andreas J. Kappos et al (2004) proposed a performance-based design procedure for realistic 3D reinforced
concrete (R/C) buildings, which involves the use of advanced analytical tools. The proposed method was then
applied to a regular multistory reinforced concrete 3D frame building and was found to lead to better seismic
performance than the standard code (Eurocode 8) procedure, and in addition led to a more economic design of

transverse reinforcement in the members that develop very little inelastic behavior even for very strong
earthquakes.
X.-K. Zou et al (2005) present an effective computer-based technique that incorporates pushover analysis
together with numerical optimization procedures to automate the pushover drift performance design of
reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. Performance-based design using nonlinear pushover analysis, is a highly
iterative process needed to meet designer-specified and code requirements.
Qiang Xue, Chia-Wei Wu et al (2007) summarized the development of the seismic design draft code for
buildings in Taiwan using performance-based seismic design methodology and case studied following the
guidelines.
R. K. Goel and A. K. Chopra presented an improved Direct Displacement-Based Design Procedure for
Performance-Based seismic design of structures. Direct displacement-based design requires a simplified
procedure to estimate the seismic deformation of an inelastic SDF system, representing the first (elastic) mode
of vibration of the structure.

VI. Conclusion
1) Provision of shear wall results in a huge decrease in base shear and roof displacement both symmetrical
building and un-symmetrical building.
2) In L-shaped building when shear wall is provided on the larger side of the building results in a decrease of
4.3% in base shear and 58.15% in roof displacement and when provided on smaller side results in a decrease of
7.97% in base shear and 55.43% in roof displacement. Hence in unsymmetrical buildings shear wall must be
provided on smaller side of building.
3) The performance based seismic design obtained by above procedure satisfies the acceptance criteria for
immediate occupancy and life safety limit states for various intensities of earthquakes.
4) Performance based seismic design obtained leads to a small reduction in steel reinforcement when compared
to code based seismic design (IS 1893:2002) obtained by STAAD.Pro.
