Abstract (English): This article investigates the influence of shear wall layout on the seismic response of a mid-rise building located in a high seismicity zone (Zone III) using ETABS software. Reinforced concrete L-shaped shear walls, designed to exhibit equivalent stiffness in both principal directions, are analyzed under several layout configurations. A comparative assessment is carried out based on standard global response indicators under lateral loading, including lateral displacements, base shear, overturning moment, and stress levels within the shear walls. The results highlight an overall improvement in seismic performance when the lateral forceresisting system combines a central core with corner-located shear walls, compared to the other configurations examined. In contrast, layouts relying solely on peripheral L-shaped shear walls prove to be less effective. These findings enable the formulation of practical recommendations for optimized seismic design.

Abstract (Spanish): Este artículo investiga la influencia de la disposición de los muros de cortante en la respuesta sísmica de un edificio de mediana altura situado en una zona de alta sismicidad (Zona III), utilizando el software ETABS. Se analizan muros de cortante de hormigón armado en forma de L, diseñados para presentar una rigidez equivalente en ambas direcciones principales, bajo diferentes configuraciones de disposición. La evaluación comparativa se realiza a partir de indicadores habituales de la respuesta global frente a cargas laterales, incluyendo los desplazamientos laterales, el cortante en la base, el momento de vuelco y los niveles de tensiones en los muros de cortante. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto una mejora global del comportamiento sísmico cuando el sistema resistente a fuerzas laterales combina un núcleo central con muros de cortante dispuestos en las esquinas, en comparación con las demás configuraciones analizadas. En cambio, las disposiciones basadas únicamente en muros de cortante en forma de L ubicados en el perímetro resultan menos eficaces. Estos resultados permiten formular recomendaciones prácticas para un diseño sísmico optimizado. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
