This necessitates a better understanding of the design and detailing of the reinforced concrete structures under various types of loading. Typical failures were brittle in nature, demonstrating inadequate capacity to dissipate and absorb inelastic energy. Damage in reinforced concrete structures was mainly attributed to the inadequate detailing of reinforcement, lack of transverse steel and confinement of concrete in structural elements. The lessons taught from the aftermath of earthquakes and the research works being carried out in laboratories give better understanding about the performance of the structure and their components. INTRODUCTION Earthquakes demonstrate vulnerability of various inadequate structures, every time they occur.

Keywords: Ultimate load and Moment carrying capacity, ANSYS software, Shear Wall, Modeling, gradual loading, Energy dissipation. The consequences of small changes in modeling are discussed and it is shown that satisfactory results are obtained from the two models.

It reports the results of the analysis of the flanged shear wall with two different types of modeling under cyclic loading. The specimens are modeled as a) discrete model and b) smeared model. To carry out the analytical investigations, the structure is modeled in a Finite Element software ANSYS. The objective of this work is to discuss the possibilities of modeling reinforcement detailing of reinforced concrete models in practical use. Many of the tall buildings had collapsed in recent earthquakes and the reasons attributed were poor design and construction practices. Lakshmaiah 1, Assistant professor, QISCET, JNTU Kakinada, A.P, India Abstract The frequent occurrence of the earthquakes in the world and construction of tall buildings, especially over the last few decades demands for the construction of earthquake resistant buildings. 1 Analysis of Multistory Building with shear wall by using ansys K.
