A Shear wall systems are one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting systems in Tall buildings. Shear walls have very high in plane stiffness and strength, which can be used to simultaneously resist maximum Lateral loads and support gravity loads, making them quite advantageous in many structural engineering applications. There are lots of literatures available to design and analyze the shear wall. However, the decision about the location of shear wall in multi-story building is not much discussed in any literatures. In this paper, therefore, main focus is to determine the solution for shear wall location in multi-story building. A RCC building of G+15 story placed earthquake zone-3. An earthquake load is calculated by Response Spectrum method using IS 1893 (PART-1):20016.These analyses were performed using ETABS 2016 Software. A study has been carried out to determine the Best locations of RC shear wall of a multistoried building by changing shear wall location. The different cases of shear wall position i.e. without shear, Shear wall at Corner locations, shear wall at periphery locations, Shear wall at Corner locations, shear wall at periphery locations, shear wall at center location. The different cases of shear wall position i.e. without shear wall, Shear wall at Corner locations shear wall at periphery locations, Shear wall at center locations and Shear wall along long & short span directions, for a G+15 story building have been analyzed. Incorporation of shear wall has become inevitable in multi-story building to resist lateral forces.
