O knihe

Shear wall is a wall that is primarily designed to resist lateral forces in its own plane. Buildings with cast-in-situ reinforced concrete shear walls are widespread in many earthquake-prone countries and regions. This type of construction has been practiced since the 1960s in urban regions for medium- to high-rise buildings (4 to 35 stories high). Use of shear wall gives a structurally efficient solution to stiffen a building. The main function of shear wall is to increase the rigidity for lateral load resistance in the tall buildings. Shear walls are commonly used as a vertical structural element for resisting the lateral loads that may be induced by the loads due to wind and earthquake. Besides they also carry gravity loads. A well designed system of shear wall in building frame improves seismic performance significantly. A box system structure that consists of reinforced concrete walls and slabs are used in high rise building. Due to functional requirement such as door and window and other openings which (may vary from architectural and functional point of view) shear walls with openings are necessary.
