Shear walls are constructed to counter the effects of lateral load acting on a structure. A dual system is a structural system in which complete frame provides support for gravity loads, and resistance to lateral loads. As per IS 13920: 2016, use of special shear walls in buildings is in preliminary stage. Application of special shear walls will be admissible to decide the structural system for the buildings. In this paper, seismic analysis has been performed using response spectrum method for different model of structures as per IS 13920:2016, that is special shear walls. There are three types in special shear walls such as squat wall, intermediate wall and slender wall. These three types are used in evaluating the seismic performance of rectangular buildings with application software. These three types are decided based on hw/Lw ratio of wall so the walls with different hw/Lw ratios are provided and the seismic performance of rectangular building is evaluated. The results of displacement, storey drift, storey shear and time period are observed and compared. Based on the analysis of the models with different location of shear walls, the performance is evaluated. The type of shear wall and location of shear wall are playing key role in the seismic performance of building. The most feasible type and location of shear wall in rectangular building is the research outcome of this paper.
