For high-rise structures to resist horizontal pressures brought on by wind and earthquakes, proper stiffness is crucial. Structural engineers are particularly interested in how a structure responds to horizontal forces. Shear walls are placed to the inside of the planned building in order to increase the structure's stiffness and protect it against horizontal pressures such lateral stresses brought on by earthquakes. The utilisation of with and without Shear walls at different locations in a G + 15 multistory residential building, as well as the kind of the structure exposed to earthquakes, are investigated in this paper using Response Spectrum Analysis. In a multi-story structure with G + 15, storey drift, storey displacement, storey pressures, storey response, storey shear, and storey stiffness are examined. In seismic zone 3 for a regular structure, the entire structure is analysed and modelled using the programme ETABs 2016, and it is determined that the structure with symmetrically positioned shear walls would perform better than the structures without shear walls in terms of all seismic characteristics.
