  • Abstract:
  • Evaluating the seismic performance of Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) shear walls is essential for developing earthquake-resistant structures. This study employs ETABS and Abaqus software to perform a detailed analysis of RCC shear walls, focusing on critical parameters such as material properties, wall thickness and aspect ratio. Time history analysis is used to investigate the dynamic response of these structural elements under seismic loading conditions.In ETABS, the analysis emphasizes the evaluation of structural displacements, natural frequencies, and mode shapes to identify key factors that influence seismic performance. Abaqus is utilized to simulate the response of RCC shear walls under dynamic earthquake loads, with particular attention to nonlinear material behaviors including strain rate sensitivity and fatigue damage. Parameters such as energy dissipation, joint acceleration, and compressive and tensile behavior are examined to gain a comprehensive understanding of structural response.The results of this study offer valuable insights into the seismic durability and overall resilience of RCC shear walls, contributing to improved design practices for earthquake-prone regions. shear walls
