  • Abstract:
  • Due to increase in population, there is scarcity of land. Scarcity of land shows picture of construction of high-rise buildings. This building structures are subjected to vertical load due to gravity and lateral load due to wind or earthquake. High rise buildings are susceptible to lateral loading (wind or seismic force). As the height of structure increases it becomes more-slender which leads to sway of the structure when the lateral loads are acting on the structure. Buildings present in hilly areas are different from buildings on plain ground as the area is irregular and unsymmetrical. In hilly areas the structure is constructed with different column heights. Hence, they tend to severe damage due to lateral loads such as earthquake or wind load. Therefore, in order to resist these forces different resisting force systems are used. Shear wall is one of the important resisting systems used today’s architecture design. This study gives brief about unsymmetrical building analysis with shear wall resisting system. The main objective of this study is to found the most effective and suitable position of shear wall for the building with unsymmetrical area and compare the flat ground building & sloping ground building considering different parameters
