A large proportion of world’s population lives under higher seismic risk region so there is a need of construction technologies which resist higher seismic forces and shear wall is such type of technology. Shear wall stabilise the whole structure against the effect of strong horizontal seismic loading. Shear wall is usually used for high rise building and excellent performance is achieved. The main goal of this research is to find out up to which base dimension the effectiveness of shear wall is maintained. The present study is an attempt to understand the effectiveness of shear wall on different aspect ratio of building (HB/LB). Three different aspect ratio of building (R= HB/LB i.e. 1,2,3) has been taken. The effectiveness has been checked up to G+30 storey building with every five incremental storey. To avoid torsional behaviour, symmetrical building with rectangular type of shear wall at the center of face of the building on both directions building was taken. The shear wall dimensions were restricted by shear wall aspect ratio (Hw/Lw).The response spectrum analysis of building without shear wall and with shear wall was carried out using ETABS® software. At the end, building response parameter Displacement was compared.
