Abstract: In multi storey buildings earthquake forces will have a very high impact on any form of the structure. In recent years the construction industry had developed many new technologies. MIVAN construction technology is also one of them. It has been adopted all over the world because the construction is speedy. This work is conducted to come up with the realistic conventional and RC wall building models to study the seismic behavior under fixed base. The main objective of the work is to study the seismic behavior of the conventional and RC wall building and to study the performance of both the buildings under earthquake generated forces. In this work a G+7 storey conventional (beam, column, slab) building and RC Wall Building (mivan construction) of same plan is considered. The models of both buildings are created using ETABS version 15.2.0. To study the seismic behavior of the both conventional and RC Wall buildings the response spectrum analysis was performed on both models as per the Indian Standard Code IS 1893:2002 Part1. From the analysis results it was found that the RC Wall Building performs better compared to the Conventional Building.
