Shear frame system is a structural engineering system that is used in sky scraper structures, enabling them to resist
lateral load from wind and seismic pressures. Shear frame structural system consists of diagonal strut construct to resist the
lateral loads. Shear framed system is simplest form of system. This system is reasonably efficient for structure having storey
more than 25. With the advent of new and improved methods, the significant role of diagonal strut on overall structure’s seismic
response has been established. The aim of present research work is to investigate the effect of diagonal strut in multi – storey
structure considering shear frame system with different geometry to with stand under similar seismic parameters. In this
research work, reinforced concrete shear framed structure (column spacing 3m) with G+25, G+30, G+35 and G+40 storey, with
different position of diagonal strut are taken into analysis. Structures have been analysed in STAAD Pro. V8i software.
