A trial-and-error procedure are generally
followed to determine the shear wall amount required to strengthen reinforced
concrete buildings. In order to determine the location and size of the shear
walls, their efficiency related to those parameters should be known clearly.
For this reason, the aim of this study is to determine the shear wall amount
required for strengthening before a structural analysis is made using simple
equations. Accordingly, different amount of shear walls with several
thicknesses were designed and placed at several locations of artificial plans
and their effect on those artificial buildings were examined. After the
structural analysis, it is found that if the amount of shear wall is increased
keeping the shear wall ratio the same, shear and moment effectiveness of those
shear walls reduce. Having reduction in shear wall effectiveness, the amount of
lateral forces transferred to the other load carrying members increase which
results in damage in those members.
