Investigation of the shear wall effect in design and the effect of shear wall sizes and quantity in concrete frame structures

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the behavior of 4, 6 and 8-storey curtain-framed structures in the type of residential and office buildings under the effect of earthquake. For this purpose, the curtain end zone on the plan is selected with 4 different types of structures and the total number of curtain cross-section areas, the number of curtains and the locations of the curtains in the plan, as a percentage change of the shear forces coming to the curtains and columns and the relative displacements of the floors. It was investigated. In the first part; The problems of the carrier system encountered during the project of multi-storey buildings, the purpose of the study and the material properties of the studied structures are mentioned. In the second part; Information was given about the types of reinforced concrete carrier systems and the structures of these systems under the effect of earthquake. In the third part; The loads to be used in the analysis of the examined structures are calculated and presented in tables and graphics. In the fourth section; Total equivalent earthquake loads acting horizontally during the earthquake were calculated. In the fifth section; Total shear forces acting on the floors, horizontal displacements, the total shear forces received by the curtains and columns on the floors were obtained in% and made suggestions in accordance with these presentations. Keywords: Curtain-framed structures, curtain end zones, the transfer of structures
