Shear walls generally used in high earth quake prone areas, as they are highly efficient in taking the loads. Not only the earthquake loads but also wind loads which are quite high in some zones can be taken by these shear walls efficiently and effectively. To determine the solution for shear wall location in multi-storey building based on its both elastic and elasto-plastic behaviors. The earthquake load is to be calculated and applied to a multi-storied building of plan 26mx26m and 10 no. of (G+9) floors with 40 meters height. For this model, results are calculated and analysed for the effective location of shear wall. The design above is verified for this same structure using extended three dimensional analysis of buildings (ETABS) software. The results are compared.
