 INTRODUCTION

SHEAR WALL -:
The wall, in building, which resist lateral loads
produced by wind or earthquakes are known as shear walls.
These shear walls, may be added solely to resist horizontal force.
Concrete walls enclosing stairways, elevated shafts may serve as
shear walls.
Shear walls are not only designed to resist gravity or vertical loads
(due to its self-weight and other living or moving loads), but they
are also designed for lateral loads of earthquakes or wind.
 Lateral load resisting systems
There are three lateral load resisting systems
1. Moment resisting frame .
2. Shear wall .
3. Braced frame system
 SHEAR WALL BUILDINGS

Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings often have vertical plate-

like RC walls called Shear Walls in addition to slabs, beams
and columns.
These walls generally start at foundation level and are
continuous throughout the building height. Their thickness
can be as low as 150 mm, or as high as 400 mm in high rise
buildings.
Shear walls are usually provided along both length and width
of buildings. Shear walls are like vertically-oriented wide
beams that carry earthquake loads downwards to the
foundation.

Observations And Discussions for problem:1
From the analysis of five models these following are the
observation as follows
1.It is observed that when masonry is replaced by shear walls the
base shear increases e.g. for model 4(A-S) Vb-1142.00kN. And
for model2(A-M) Vb-365kN.
2. It is seen that when masonry is replaced by shear walls the
lateral displacements are reduced e.g. for model 4(A-S) -
70.92mm and for model 2(A-M) -149.86mm
3.Comparing model 2(A-M)and model 3(A-SM) it is seen that in
model 3(A-SM) the base shear along Z direction is more as
compared to model 2(A-M) e.g. Vbz-806.04kN and -61.60.mm
for model 3and for model 2 Vbz-365N and -149.60mm i.e. the
shear wall is most effective in plane lateral forces.
4 .For box type of shear wall (connected) in model 5
it is seen that the base shear is more than model 4
(A-S).e.g Vb-1442.15kN. And for model 2(A-S) Vb-
1142.00kN.
 DESIGN PHILOSOPHIES OF SHEAR WALL
General Requirements
1) The thickness of any part of the wall shall preferably,
not be less than 150 mm. Thinner walls have a tendency
to buckle out of plane

Fig. Thickness of wall

2) The effective flange width, to be used in the design of
flanged wall sections, shall be assumed to extend beyond
the face of the web for a distance which shall be the
smaller of
(a) Half the distance to an adjacent shear wall web,
and
(b) 1/10 th of the total wall height.

Fig. Effective flange Width

3) Shear walls shall be provided with reinforcement in
the longitudinal and transverse directions in the plane
of the wall. The minimum reinforcement ratio shall be
0.0025 of the gross area in each direction. This
reinforcement shall be distributed uniformly across the
cross section of the wall.

Fig. Minimum reinforcement in Shear Wall

4) If the factored shear stress in the wall exceeds 0.25 or if
the wall thickness exceeds 200 mm, reinforcement shall be
provided in two curtains, each having bars running in the
longitudinal and transverse directions in the plane of the
wall.

Fig. Boundary element Requirement

5) The diameter of the bars to be used in any part of the
wall shall not exceed 1/10th of the thickness of that part.

Fig. Bar diameter requirement

6) The maximum spacing of reinforcement in either
direction shall not exceed the smaller of lw/5, 3 tw, and 450
mm; where lw is the horizontal length of the wall, and tw is
the thickness of the wall web

Fig. Maximum spacing of reinforcement in both directions

7) Shear strength
The nominal shear stress shall be calculated as
Tv= Vu /(tw dw)
 CONCLUSION

1. Base shears increases and lateral deflection decreases

when shear wall is provided in a building.

2. Shear wall is most effective for in plane lateral forces.

3. Box type shear wall (connected) are more effective than

separate shear walls.
