Abstract
This study examines the behavior of shear walls in multi-story buildings, emphasizing their influence on structural responses to lateral loads across various seismic zones and building configurations. The placement of shear walls within a building significantly affects seismic performance and structural stability, making their optimal positioning a key consideration in structural design. The study further investigates the impact of shear wall configurations, including centrally located walls, corner placements, and distributed arrangements, on the overall seismic resilience of buildings. The influence of wall thickness, material properties, and aspect ratio on lateral load resistance is also explored. This paper highlights the importance of shear walls in multi-story building design, emphasizing their critical role in improving structural resilience against lateral forces.
