Abstract

In seismic conditions, asymmetric structures typically experience lateral deflection. The magnitude of this deflection is dependent on various factors, including the configuration of the structural system, the mass of the structure, and the mechanical properties of the materials used. One critical factor that can reduce a structure's seismic resistance is torsion irregularity. To combat this, shear walls can be installed in the pertinent location to provide stability and stiffness to the structure. This study explores the seismic analysis of a G+10 storey asymmetric RC frame-shear wall structure using the response spectrum method as per ASCE7-16. The study encompasses six models with varying shear wall placements, with the initial model lacking a shear wall. The results are compared, and recommendations are made to avoid torsional irregularity destruction under seismic loads. Based on the analysis, Model-2 (shear wall in the periphery) shows the worst condition from the 1st storey through the 11th storey, possibly due to maximum eccentricity in upper storeys. In contrast, Model-5 (shear wall in core and corners) shows the best performance among all models, likely due to increased stiffness in the corners and core of the structure. Overall, this study contributes to the advancement of structural engineering practices by enhancing the understanding of complex interplay between torsional irregularity, shear wall placement, and structural asymmetry.
