摘要：Shear walls are structural systems which provide stability to structures from lateral loads like wind, seismicloads. These structural systems are constructed by reinforced concrete, plywood/timber unreinforced masonry,reinforced masonry at which these systems are sub divided into coupled shear walls, shear wall frames, shear panelsand staggered walls. The present paper work was made in the interest of studying various research works involved inenhancement of shear walls and their behaviour towards lateral loads. As shear walls resists major portions of lateralloads in the lower portion of the buildings and the frame supports the lateral loads in the upper portions of buildingwhich is suited for soft storey high rise building, building which are similar in nature constructed in India, As in Indiabase floors are used for parking and garages or officers and upper floors are used for residential purposes.
