Abstract: Shear wall systems are most commonly used for resisting lateral load in the high rise buildings. In seismic design of the building reinforced concrete shear walls or structural walls act as a major role as earthquake resisting member. This necessitates need for design based on seismic response by suitable method to make sure strength and stability of the structures. In the present work to study the seismic response of the fifteen storey residential tower with and without shear wall and the behavior of the building with shear walls at different locations was carried out. Shear wall effectiveness has been studied with the help of ten different models. Model one to five is regular shape structural system and model six to ten is irregular shape structural system. Model one and model six is bare frame and remaining eight models models have shear wall with different location. Earthquake load is applied to a residential tower of fifteen storey located in zone V. The comparison of these models for different parameters like displacement, storey drift and base shear has been obtainable by reinforced concrete shear wall building with and without shear wall. The software used is ETABS v15.2.
