Abstract- In recent years, the rapid growth of urban population and limited land availability has led to the increasing construction of high-rise residential buildings. These structures are highly susceptible to lateral loads such as earthquake and wind forces, which can significantly affect their stability and safety. The present review paper focuses on the comparative study of seismic and wind response of a G+12 residential Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) frame building with and without shear walls. Shear walls are widely used as an effective lateral load-resisting system due to their high stiffness and strength. This study reviews various research works related to seismic analysis, wind effects, and the performance of shear walls in RCC structures. It highlights the importance of shear walls in reducing storey displacement, storey drift, and improving overall structural stability. The review also emphasizes the use of advanced structural analysis tools such as STAAD Pro for accurate modeling and analysis of buildings under different loading conditions. From the reviewed literature, it is observed that buildings with shear walls perform better compared to those without shear walls under both seismic and wind loads. However, a research gap exists in the combined analysis of seismic and wind effects on high-rise buildings. This study aims to address this gap and provide insights for safer and more efficient structural design practices.
