Shear wall system is one of the most efficient lateral load resisting systems. Shear wall provides high strength and stiffness, which resists large lateral loads along with gravity loads, it makes structure more efficient in seismic performance. The behaviour of shear wall is like vertical cantilever in the form of separate planar wall and as non-planar connected walls around elevators and stairs. Shear wall also gives additional strength and stiffness when used in interior of building. where external wall are not able to provide required strength and stiffness to the building. For serving actual purpose of shear wall in building it is essential to know about ideal location of shear wall in building. The goal of present study is to determine appropriate location of shear wall and their effect on seismic performance of building and comparative study of analyzing methods is also has been done. In this work a high rise building with different location of shear wall with different shapes has been analyzed. Four models were created with shear wall at different location. All four models were modelled on STAAD.PRO V8i. Linear static analysis was performed for all models. For response spectrum analysis, response spectra of IS 1893:2002 was selected and the response spectrum analysis was performed. For time history analysis a reference earthquake data of EL CENTRO earthquake was selected, this reference data was made compatible with IS 1893: 2002 and time history analysis was performed. Results obtained from all the three analysis of each models. Data obtained by STAAD.PRO V8i was used to interpretate the results and a comparison were made for all the Four analysis.
