Abstract

Shear walls in high-rise buildings enhance resistance against lateral loads. This study compares the performance of four different
shear wall configurations in an eight-stories building designed with a dual structural system using the Response Spectrum
method, including structural period, shear force, story drift, and cost. Four shear wall configurations are planned: (1) Existing
Condition with Core Wall shear walls on the right and left sides (SW0); (2) Frame Wall in an L shape around the lift and stairs
(SW1); (3) Two L shapes around the lift and stairs and two I shapes on the facade (SW2); and (4) I shapes around the lift, stairs,
and facade (SW3). Simulations were conducted using ETABS, considering dead loads, live loads, and earthquake loads. Cost
estimate for shear walls of each alternative. Based on Structural Performance analysis Shear wall alternatives 2 (SW2) performs
best compared to others models. Based on the Cost Comparison SW0 is the cheapest among other configurations, however,
from the structural performance perspective, SW2 & SW3 perform much better than those in SW0.
