Eleven storey reinforced concrete structure without shear wall and with shear wall at different locations are considered under the response spectrum method. Total nine numbers of models are created at different locations including without shear wall model. Storey drift, Storey displacement, Storey shear etc. parameters are considered for this study. This study presents the behavior of shear wall at different location. Key Words: Shear wall, Location, ETABS, Dynamic analysis, Response spectrum 1. INTRODUCTION India has had a greatest earthquake in the last century. Earthquake can be minor, moderate & strong. On an average annually about 700 earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 – 6.0 occur in the world. The 7.9 magnitude Kutch earthquake (2001) occurred on India’s annual republic day. Nearly 20800 people died and 1.66 lakh people were injured. Conventionally, buildings are designed to resist earthquakes which may come only once in 500 years. Design of buildings wherein there is no damage during the strong but rare earthquake shaking is called “Earthquake proof design”. Practically no building can be made earthquake proof. Engineers are try to make earthquake resistant buildings. Buildings resists the effect of ground shaking. They may get damaged but not collapse during strong earthquake. The main objective is to resist minor earthquake without damage, to resist moderate earthquake with some non-structural damage and to resist major earthquake without collapse. The aim of the earthquake resistant design is to have structures that will behave elastically. During major earthquake to avoid collapse structural members must be ductile to absorb energy by elastic deformation. RC buildings have vertical plate like RC walls called shear walls in addition to slabs, beams and columns as per the Figure 1.1. Shear walls are vertical elements of the horizontal force resisting system. These walls generally start at foundation level & are continues throughout the building height. Because reinforcement detailing of walls is relatively straight and easily implemented at site, shear walls are easy to construct. When shear walls are situated with proper opening in the building, they can form an efficient lateral force resisting system by reducing lateral displacements under earthquake.

(ii) To compare the performance of the building without shear wall to the building having shear wall. (iii) To study the behavior of building under linear dynamic analysis method. (iv) Comparative study of individual parameters like storey displacement, storey drift, storey shear for without shear wall building to the building having a shear wall at different locations. 3. LITREATURE VIEW Kumbhare, Saoji (2012) [1] investigated the effectiveness of changing reinforced concrete shear wall location on multi storied building using five numbers of model. Model one was without shear wall, model two was dual type structural system with shape of shear wall, third and fourth model was L type of shear wall and rectangular shape of shear wall respectively and model six was box type of shear wall using different parameters like displacement and storey drift, storey shear, shear force and bending moment. They have concluded that, constructing without shear wall is more economical compared to dual type structural system in building.
