Pushover Analysis Method Applied to a Building with and Without a Shear Wall and Analyzing Placement of Shear Walls

Today's earthquakes have a greater impact on concrete buildings, which have either collapsed or suffered significant damage. Therefore, it is necessary to assess seismic adequacy. Future earthquakes cannot be prevented, but we may manage or prepare the buildings to ensure their structure is safe and to lessen the level of loss and damage. Although Pushover analysis was originally used in the 1980s, its potential has been understood for the past 20 years. Estimate the base shear and the related displacement of the given structure in this process. A particularly helpful method for assessing both new and old buildings is pushover analysis. In this paper, we discuss about the pushover analysis applied on a building. ETABS software is used to simulate a G + 10 multi-storied building and pushover analysis (PA) is performed utilizing shear wall conditions. The four model cases—a building without a shear wall, one with a corner shear wall, one with a center shear wall, and one with a shear wall with an alternate shear wall—are used.
