        abstract = {The seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RCC) buildings is greatly affected by the presence of masonry infill walls. Although infill walls are generally considered non-structural elements, they significantly influence the stiffness, strength, and dynamic characteristics of buildings subjected to earthquake loads. This study investigates the seismic response of a G+14 RCC building with and without masonry infill walls using ETABS software. The seismic analysis is carried out according to IS 1893 (Part 1): 2016. Parameters such as storey displacement, storey drift, and storey shear are evaluated and compared for symmetric and unsymmetrical building configurations. Results indicate that infill walls considerably reduce lateral displacement and drift while increasing storey shear and overall structural stiffness. The study emphasizes the importance of including masonry infill walls in analytical models for realistic seismic assessment and safer structural design.},
