The decision regarding provision of shear wall to resist lateral forces play an important role in choosing theappropriate structural systems. Shear walls are vertical stiffening elements designed to resist lateral forces exerted bywind or earthquake. The shape and location of shear wall have significant effect on their structural behavior underlateral loads. In this study 3D structural modelling based software Midas-GEN was used to generate and analyze threedimensional building models for assessment of relative lateral load resisting systems. Four models were used, onemoment resisting frame and 3 models each, for lateral load resisting system. Each model consisted of G+12 storey framestructure having total height of 36.0 m. Each building model was subjected to three-dimensional analysis for thedetermination of both displacement at roof level and interstorey drifts.
