Abstract: 

Location of shear wall construction, we discuss herein, is the combination of two materials viz. Reinforced concrete and structural steel used for the purpose of building yielding to behave together, increase safety and more economic without any damage to the aesthetic appearance,shear walls are more efficient in resisting lateral loads in multi storied buildings. Shear walls are made with steel, reinforced concrete are kept in major positions of multi storied buildings which are made in consideration of earthquake forces, wind forces. Shear wall must provide necessary lateral strength to resist horizontal earthquake. When shear wall are strong enough, they will transfer these horizontal forces to the next element in the load path below them, such as other shear wall, floors, foundation walls, footings. When building is designed without shear wall, beam and column sizes are quite heavy and there is problem arises at these joint and it is congested to place and vibrate concrete at these places and displacement is quite heavy which induces heavy forces in building member. Shear wall may become essential from the point of view of economy and control of horizontal displacement.
