        abstract = {This study investigates the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings with coupled shear walls using a Performance-Based Design (PBD) approach. Coupled shear walls, connected through ductile coupling beams, are an effective lateral load-resisting system for tall buildings as they enhance stiffness, energy dissipation, and overall resilience during earthquakes. The research involves modeling RC buildings of 7, 9, and 11 storey in SAP2000 (v24) and evaluating their seismic behavior under Zone III conditions as per IS 1893:2016. Nonlinear pushover analysis was conducted following FEMA 356 guidelines to assess base shear capacity, roof displacement, plastic hinge development, and performance levels such as Immediate Occupancy (IO), Life Safety (LS), and Collapse Prevention (CP). The results demonstrate that building height significantly influences structural response, with higher structures showing increased displacement demand but improved ductility. The findings confirm that coupled shear wall systems are highly effective for earthquake-resistant design, aligning well with performance objectives and offering a safer and more reliable alternative to conventional force-based methods.},
