Nowadays the provision of multi storied buildings is essential in metro cities to overcome land crisis.
Construction of multi storied buildings is inevitable without using any lateral force resisting system. Provision of lateral
force resisting system makes the structure earthquake resistant. This paper represents the study on seismic behavior of
lateral force resisting system commonly used in India like Shear wall, Core wall and Bracing System. The seven different
types of models are analyzed by using ETABS software at various storey heights (15 and 20 storey) situated in seismic
zone III. The analysis is done by Response Spectrum Method and results are shown in terms of storey drift, storey
displacement and base shear. The emphasis of this paper is to find the best suitable type of lateral force resisting
structure among the various models which are analyzed under seismic excitation.
