Abstract. In the recent researches it was found to be the most appropriate loads resisting
system in recent and present years is shear walls system. In the high rise building shear walls
are of the most achievable and hence commonly used lateral load resisting components. It is
supplied in building from foundation level to through the height of the building. The scope of
the present work is to find the optimum location of the shear walls in plan irregular structures
with shear walls such as in I frame, L frame, T frame for different zones in G+17 stories each
storey height of 3.2 m, Shear walls are given at corners and at periphery of the building. And
also, the outcome of results in seismic zones as per IS CODE 1893(Part1): 2016 has been
presented. The seismic analysis performed is linear dynamic response spectrum analysis
utilizing the well-known analysis and design software ETABS 18.1.0. Seismic performance of
the building has been examined based on specification such as storey displacement, Storey
drift, Storey Shear, Base shear, Time period of modes.
Key Words: Shear walls, Irregular plan, Response spectrum, Seismic zones, ETABS.
1. Introduction
1.1. General
India is developing country around the globe; the cities are also growing but due to movements
towards city it arises in population addition in most of the cities. In the development it is mandatory to
build multi-storied structures, because scarcity of space and by this sort of development work advance
will be rapid. By increasing the height of building it becomes capable to resist lateral loads such
earthquake and wind loads. Hence, we have to consider the structure protection rather than economy.
Multi-storied structures were known for withstanding against the vertical and also lateral loads when
analysis and designed with earthquake resisting parameters. By the establishment of shear walls the
building become durable, Stable, safe and it increase rigidity for the lateral loads that may be generate

the effect of wind and earthquakes. Shear walls usually begins from the foundation level and
continuous throughout the building height. They are basically provided along both length and width of
the building and are located at the corners, periphery, and in the form core at lifts. Shear walls can
easily execute on the site and which also cost-effective functional technique to minimizing the
earthquake injury. Shear walls in multi-storied building it depends on location and thickness of shear
walls and type of building constructed and the seismic zones of the building which has been discussed
in detailed below.
The walls in a building, which resist lateral loads origins from the wind or earthquake in plane of the
wall along the shear and bending is termed as the shear walls as shown in the Figure 1. Shear walls
obtain normally in High rise building, where effect of the wind and seismic forces is mostly. Shear
walls are provided because they are in easy in construction, It helps in minimizing the earthquake
damage, Large in-plane stiffness, orientation in the direction of strength, Automatically reduces the
lateral sway, Installing of shear walls is very easy.
Building is termed as irregular if the its any one of the conditions is applicable such as
• Torsion irregularities
• Re-entrant corner
• Floor slabs having excessive cut-outs
• Out of the plane offset in vertical elements
• Non parallel forces system
In this project 3 types are considered such as I, L, T these shapes are coming under re-
entrant corner type plan irregularity. The Figure 2 shows the L frame of a re-entrant corner.
Plan configuration of the structure and lateral load resisting system contain re-entrant
corners, while both the projections of the structures beyond the re-entrant corners are more
than 15% of its project dimension in the given direction.

‘‘Optimum Positioning of shear walls in Multi-storey Buildings’’ In this paper, A study has been
carried out to find the optimum construction framing of a tall building by locating the shear walls in
radically. Four different models were created, for G+10 storey structure along with zero eccentricity
through the mass center and hardness center. In this they have analyzed using the ETABS software.
The seismic loading on the building is as per I S codes. They concluded that Shear walls located at
periphery has the greater values of storey shear as compared to other models. Overturing moments are
less in normal structures. Finally, they as concluded that building with Box-type Shear wall at the
Centre of the geometry is the best framing technique for tall buildings.
‘‘Seismic Analysis of a High -rise RC Framed structure with irregularities” In this paper for G+49
stories of RC Framed building having height of each floor 3m, along with irregular floor plan in zone
Ⅳ for soil type Ⅲ and the type of analysis is equivalent Static lateral loads. She has analyzed in
ETABS (Ⅴ 13.1) software in the response spectrum method for each irregular and regular building.
After analysis of the building a study has done for the response parameters like, Storey displacement,
Storey drift, etc. The author has concluded that storey drift is higher in irregular structure when
considered to regular building, then story displacement is founded higher in the re-entrant corner
building considered to the other irregular building and stiffness in irregular building and re-entrant
building decreased when considered with vertical irregular.

‘‘The Optimum location of the shear wall in irregular plan multi-storey RC frame Structure under
lateral load” In this paper for G+19 stories having the height of each storey 3m and shear wall
thickness of 300mm for zone Ⅴ, along with medium type of soil using response spectrum method
analysis is done. Analysis is done according to earthquake IS:1893(Part-1), wind loads by the I S:875
(Part-Ⅲ):1987. They have concluded that the seismic nature of RC frame structure can be increased by
lay outing the shear walls which directly decreases storey displacement and storey drift. Increase the
strength and stiffness of the building. Irregular plan along the shear walls it gives lesser drift and lesser
displacement as considered to irregular plan without shear wall. And finally concluded that the shear
wall at the Centre core and corner is the best position.

the other models. Lateral displacement, Storey drift it obeys the permissible limits according to I S
codes. The torsional resistance of the buildings provided along with shear walls it acts as the most
possible part from Centre of mass of the building. Then they concluded that the inner bays of the
buildings are best positioning place.

utilizing the ETABS software. Finally, they have concluded that the base shear value for shear walls at
the middle is more when considered with the other models, base shear values for equally in the
equivalent static analysis and response spectrum analysis. Storey displacement is maximal for regular
building in the both the directions and the displacement increases for the successive stories from base
to the top storey.

• In this time period we can see that I frame has the highest time period in the bare frame then
for the T frame the time period has the lowest time period in Shear walls at Corners. Because
