Buildings’ responses to lateral forces have been the topic of a great deal of research work in recent years. Performing a comprehensive nonlinear analysis is required for Performance-Based Design. During earthquakes, nonlinear static analysis (pushover analysis) is frequently employed in performance-based design, where gravity loads are held constant and lateral forces are increased monotonically until the target displacement is reached. The capacity curve, derived from a pushover analysis, depicts the overall performance of the structure by illustrating the relationship between the base shear and the roof displacement. There has been a lot of research on structures with shear walls, but none of it has focused on finding the best possible spot. As part of these analyses, shear walls are placed at different locations of the structure. We analyzed 13 different models to determine the best location, and found out that model 6 performing well, when comparing with other models. As a result, PO-Fig. 7 is found out to be subjected to 76.89% greater shear resistance capacity than the no-shear-wall model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
