Among the dangerous natural hazards earthquake is the one which, cause great damage of life andlivelihood. The ground motion and the structure itself are the characteristics on which the response of the structuredepends during an earthquake. The high in plane stiffness and strength of the shear wall systems helps to resist bothlarge horizontal load and gravity load. Now a days in order to resist lateral loads in the high rise buildings, the shearwall systems are commonly used. The present study carried out helps in determining the response of a high rise RCFrame structure with shear walls, coupled shear walls and equivalent coupled shear wall systems. To study the behaviorof the system, parameters such as base shear, storey shear, storey drift, displacements and member forces areconsidered. The above systems with shear wall are compared with the bare frame without any shear wall and coupledshear wall. The effect on the high rise building systems, built in the very sever seismic zones will be studied andcompared. For the present study 30, 40 and 50 storied RC Frame structures are considered and analyzed with andwithout shear wall system, and effectiveness of bare frame with only shear walls, coupled shear walls and combination ofboth i.e., equivalent coupled walls are found out and best of the three systems for particular height of the building issuggested.
