        abstract = {High-rise reinforced concrete (RC) buildings are increasingly vulnerable to seismic forces due to their height and flexibility, making seismic analysis an essential aspect of structural design. This study evaluates the seismic performance of a G+25 RC building using ETABS software in accordance with IS 1893 (Part 1):2016. The building was analysed under Seismic Zones II, III, IV, and V by considering gravity and seismic loads. Key response parameters such as storey displacement, storey drift, base shear, and natural time period were evaluated to understand the structural behaviour under varying earthquake intensities. In addition, the effectiveness of shear walls placed at corner locations was assessed by comparing the structural response of buildings with and without shear walls. The analysis results indicate that seismic response increases with the seismic zone factor, resulting in higher displacement, drift, and base shear in higher seismic zones. The inclusion of corner shear walls significantly reduced storey displacement and drift while improving the lateral stiffness and overall stability of the structure. The study demonstrates that ETABS is an effective tool for seismic analysis and confirms that the provision of shear walls enhances the earthquake resistance of high-rise RC buildings.},
