In present era, there is a huge scarcity of vacant
land led to the development of the high rise structures.
For the construction of high rise buildings, normal
R.C.C. system is not suitable. These problems can
overcome by using flat slab system along with shear wall
arrangements. It is very essential that the shear wall
position should be appropriate in structure so as to
achieve the lateral stiffness and solid structure against
lateral loads. In this work, two main factors i.e. with
drop panels and without drop panels have been
considered for 12 storey structures. In each factor 5
models of various locations of shear wall is taken for
consideration. For stabilization of variable parameters
such as storey displacement, storey stiffness and storey
shear etc the seismic investigation & design of structures
had carried out in software ETABS.
After performing seismic investigation & design of all the
structures, result shows that if we provide shear wall at
incorrect or inappropriate locations then it will only
increase the dead load and cost of the structure. So the
final outcomes we have achieved is to provide shear walls
at desired position where lateral loads are more
predominantly acting on the structures
