Abstracts: Looking to 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. Also due to the major earthquakes in the recent pasts the codal provisions revised and implementing more weightage on earthquake design of structure. The decision regarding provision of shear wall to resist lateral forces play most important role in choosing the appropriate structural systems for given project. In the present project shear wall are provided on different position in multi storey RCC building, and seismic response of the building is checked using ETABS software. By this one will be able to choose best location of shear wall in building for best seismic performance. The response of the building is checked in terms of stiffness, storey drift, storey displacement, peak ground acceleration etc.
