Why are Buildings with shear walls preferred in Seismic Regions? Earthquake Tip 23 Learning Earthquake Design and ConstructionWhat is a Shear Wall Building Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings often have vertical plate-like RC walls called shear walls (Figure 1) in addition to slabs, beams and columns. These walls generally start at foundation level and are continuous throughout the building height. Their thickness can be as low as 150mm, or as high as 400mm in high rise buildings. shear walls are usually provided along both length and width of buildings (Figure 1). shear walls are like vertically-oriented wide beams that carry Earthquake loads downwards to the foundation.
