Abstract

Earthquake is a natural phenomenon that result from the sudden energy released in the Earth’s crust. Nowadays, Malaysia is no longer free from seismic hazard as few tremors recorded in recent year. The impact of earthquake on building have to take seriously especially for low rise building as the vibration resonate closer to shorter building. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to study seismic performance of shear wall with different thickness and width for low rise building. The model of shear wall is analysed by using nonlinear static pushover analysis (POA) and nonlinear dynamic time history analysis (NLTHA). Both analysis is observed based on the maximum displacement and peak ground acceleration (PGA) at top of shear wall. In conclusion, increased thickness of shear wall are able to minimise the displacement. Besides, increased the width of shear wall in POA had improve the performance against earthquake. Meanwhile, increased the width of shear wall in NLTHA resulted the PGA value decreased.
