Abstract: Analytical Study on structural aspects and Behaviour of Tall Structure using Ec Bc Dc technology is performed using E-Tabs software. Basic concept of Technology is to improve strength and stiffness properties by providing entire shear wall at external portion of building. This technology is conceptualized to bring out changes in present construction scenario by eliminating use of vibrators, removal of wet curing process, and also uses single level shuttering. Stiffness rather than strength parameter becomes dominant factor for tall structures, which can be achieved efficiently with this system to resist the lateral loads. Result interpretation and various outcomes of the system are compared with other structural systems. In this study, 3 different systems are considered for analysis i.e. Beam column system, EcBc system and RC wall/Mivan system. A G+31 storey residential building is considered under the different seismic zone conditions. Models are analyzed for linear static and dynamic analysis. Results and discussions of different systems under different seismic zone conditions are compared
