Food, clothing and shelter are basic human needs. Beside food & clothing, shelter is a challenging task because according to KMPG, 11 crore houses will likely be required by 2022. To achieve this figure the speed of construction should be good enough. To avail the rapid construction, the most effective way is to provide shear walls instead of masonry walls. The main focus of this work is to analyze a R.C. building frame with R.C. shear walls at different locations of a building to know its the most efficient location. Shear wall is a specially designed structural walls incorporated in building to resist lateral forces that are produced in the plane of the wall due to seismic, wind and other forces. In this work, a 6 storey R.C. building frame has been analyzed for seismic zone-lll using staad pro. v8i (series 4) package. Special moment resisting frame (SMRF) and hard rock types are used in this work. There are some parameters considered such as node displacement, Maximum reactions and total weight of reinforcement to compare the results for different models. It has been judged that the model-IV is most efficient than other models.
