Abstract: 

The structures under frequently occurring earth quake round motions resulting in structural collapses as well as failures. This is mainly due to the inadequate design of the lateral load resisting system. The most commonly used lateral oad resisting systems in high rise buildings are Shear wall. Based on nonlinear analysis procedures adopted, the effects of shear wall location and length on various seismic parameters are to be compared. Time history analysis is used to evaluate the expected performance of the  structure. In this paper two models are generated with the help of SAP 2000.
