Abstract: In seismic design of multistoried building, shear walls are most common structure adopted to make the structure earthquake resistant. These are constructed to counteract the lateral loads caused by wind load and seismic loads. Shear walls provide adequate stiffness to the structure. So that the lateral drift will be in limits. Generally shear walls are the vertical cantilever which acts as a column. This investigation presents the study and comparison of earthquake behaviour of buildings with and without shear wall using STAAD Pro. In this study, reinforced concrete buildings are analyzed by changing the various position of shear wall with different locations considering various parameters such as story drift, lateral displacement and others.

Keywords: Seismic analysis, Shear wall, Story drift, STAAD Pro V8i.
