Shear wall buildings are a popular choice in many earthquake prone countries, like Chile, New Zealand andUSA. Shear walls are efficient, both in terms of construction cost and effectiveness in minimizing earthquake damage instructural and non-structural elements. Door or window openings can be provided in shear walls. In this paper anattempt is made to analyse the effect of opening configuration and effect of opening size on the seismic behaviour ofshear walls.This study is carried out on a ten story frame-shear wall building, with the help of finite element softwareETABS, using Response Spectrum method. The comparative results showed that the, time period, top displacement, baseshears, story drift and stress distributions around the openings depend on the openings arrangement system and also onthe size of the opening.
