Presently, our country, Ethiopia is growing in the way of multi disciplines, such for example as: constructing for commercial, residential, and mixed used buildings. Headed for, it requires high rise buildings, which pass up scarcity of the land. Due to this aspect there is a need to study the structural system, which resists the lateral loads due to seismic effect. In this paper the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete shear walled frame and braced frame has been studied. A symmetric plan shear walled frame and braced frame has been selected, and compared the seismic response of the structural systems with the help of storey displacement and fundamental period of the building. This study has been conducted by considering different models with the aspect of changing different parameters such as: Varying thickness of shear wall, types of bracing, and compared effectiveness of shear walled frame and braced frame. Because of the structural characteristics of the building, Modal Response Spectrum analysis has been used. All analyses were carried out using finite element software‟s, ETABs version 15.
