In current century, most of the multistory construction project is going through financial crisis. In majority, this problem arises due to huge earthquake resistance structural technique adopted in the framing system. As a result, the consumption of conventional construction material like concrete and steel goes on increasing day by day in the structures. On the other hand time delay is the key factor that will affect overall growth of such project. Hence in order to overcome these constraints, economical construction methodology and optimization techniques should be used. Hence the aim of present study is to compare seismic performance of 8 storey & 16 storey multistoried buildings with shear wall situated in earthquake zone III. Seismic coefficient method is used for seismic analysis. The analysis has been done with reinforced concrete shear wall and steel plate shear and results are compared. RC shear wall is changed with Steel plate shear wall for all building models. This study concludes that changing the position of shear wall of reinforced concrete with steel plate in buildings is economical. The response of multistoried structure is very good with the provision of steel plate shear wall in the building. Also alteration in thickness of steel plate gives effective results for various locations of shear wall. There is reduction in axial force and bending moment in columns by 20 % for 20 mm thick steel plate and by 35% for 50 mm steel plate as compared to RC shear wall with shear wall at central location. The displacement in top column is reduced by 15 % in case of 20 mm thick steel plate shear wall where as 45% reduction in case of 50 mm SPSW. As thickness of steel plate increases the displacement reduces but base shear increases.
