Shear wall is a structural member used to resist lateral forces parallel to the plane of the wall. Shear wall resiststhe loads due to cantilever action. In other words, Shear walls are vertical elements of the lateral force resisting system(wind and seismic forces). This study aims to compare the seismic performance of two model of G+6 story real lifereinforced concrete building located in Zone 3. Model 1 is generated with special moment resisting frame (SMRF) as thelateral load resisting system whereas same building is converted into model 2 which consists of number of shear wallsreplacing the columns (SW). The objective of the present study is to compare the seismic performance of the two models. Thedesigns of the buildings were carried out by response spectrum analysis. Nonlinear dynamic responses of these buildingswere analyzed using Etabs. The base shear, storey drifts, storey displacement and storey stiffness from the analysis were usedfor the evaluation of the responses of the building. The quantities of steel and concrete consumed are calculated andcompared. It has been found that the building with R.C. shear wall is economical and shows better response then the samebuilding with special moment resisting frames.
