Abstract - An The seismic response of high‑rise reinforced
primary lateral system and emphasizes that their seismic effectiveness hinges on placement: poorly arranged walls can trigger torsion, concentrate forces, and raise interstorey drift, undermining safety and serviceability. Given the limited comparative evidence for commercial high‑rises, the review synthesizes ETABS‑based studies to examine how wall location influences displacement, drift, storey stiffness, and base shear. The aim is to pinpoint configurations that consistently mitigate seismic effects and to translate these insights into practical guidance for safe, durable, and economical RCC high‑rises in earthquake‑prone regions.
cement concrete (RCC) buildings is highly sensitive to how shear walls are positioned, as these elements form the primary lateral force–resisting system. This study evaluates the influence of shear wall layout on a 23‑storey (G+22) commercial building and identifies the configuration that best balances stability, safety, and economy. A detailed three‑dimensional ETABS model was developed, and response spectrum analysis was conducted in accordance with IS 1893 (Part 1): 2016. Three arrangements were examined (i) corner walls, (ii) mid‑side perimeter walls, and (iii) a central/core system and performance was quantified using inter‑storey drift, lateral displacement, base shear, and storey stiffness.

1.INTRODUCTION Rapid vertical urban growth has intensified reliance on tall RCC buildings, whose safety is governed by resistance to lateral actions from wind and, critically, earthquakes. Shear walls are the principal lateral system in such structures; their ability to curb horizontal displacements and inter storey drifts depends as much on placement as on size and detailing. Poorly located walls can trigger torsion, uneven demand, and inefficient behaviour. Prior work Favors symmetric, well-cantered layouts but comparative evidence for modern high‑rise RCC systems using advanced analysis remains limited. Using ETABS and the Response Spectrum Method per IS 1893:2016, a G+22 commercial building was modelled with three schemes corner, mid‑side perimeter, and central/core walls and evaluated for drift, roof displacement, base shear, and storey stiffness. The core arrangement delivered the most uniform and efficient response, achieving the lowest drifts and displacements while enhancing stiffness and stability. These results reinforce strategic, core‑centric placement as a practical route to safer, more resilient, and economical tall RCC buildings, offering actionable guidance for design in seismic regions. This review addresses the earthquake vulnerability of tall RCC buildings, where height, flexibility, and slenderness amplify seismic demand. It focuses on shear walls as the
