Abstract

Shear walls are often used to increment stiffness in building frames. The increase in stiffness improves the performance of building and makes it less vulnerable to the lateral forces it is subjected to in an event of earthquake. Moreover, the overall safety of building is increased due to increased occupational safety [1]. This study tries to study analytically the effects of retrofitting of RC buildings using structural walls or shear walls.
