Abstract
Monolithically built RC wall panels permits for the industrialized construction of a group of integrated buildings using mechanized, rationalized and mass-production procedure. This is a unique, fast and economical technique. Most of the national and international codes comprise of a brief design procedure of this type of construction. Lot of research is being carried out worldwide about the effect of dynamic loads on these structures. In this paper, FE analysis is done on a designed typical monolithic RC wall panel structure for all zones as per Indian code and the results are compared with different international codal provisions and the formulae presented by Saheb & Desayi and Doh & Fragomeni. This paper consists of background, design and construction of monolithic RC wall panel, FE analysis and comparison of results. 2013 CAFET-INNOVA TECHNICAL SOCIETY.
