From the past records of earthquake, there is increase in the demand of earthquake resisting building which
can be fulfilled by providing the shear wall systems in the buildings. For achieving economy in reinforced concrete
building structures, design of critical section is carefully done to get reasonable concrete sizes and optimum steel
consumption in members. In the present study, an attempt has been made to model 12 storey, 15 storey and 18 storey
building with and without shear walls by static analysis method for earthquake zone III. E-TAB v9.74 software is used
for the analysis. The objective of this study is to assess the comparative seismic performance of buildings in terms of
displacement, storey drift, base shear, cost and carpet area. Buildings with shear wall are economical as compared to
without shear wall.
