        abstract = {A shear wall is a vertical, planar structural element designed to provide lateral load resistance by acting as a cantilever fixed at its base, primarily resisting in-plane shear forces, bending moments, and axial forces induced by wind, seismic, or other horizontal loads, and transferring these loads efficiently to the foundation while controlling overall structural drift and deformation. When wind flows around a building, it exerts positive pressure on the windward face and suction on the leeward and side faces. These pressures, which increase with height due to greater wind speeds, are quantified using design codes like IS 875 (Part 3) through factors for terrain, topography, and structure geometry. In wind analysis, a shear wall acts much like a vertical cantilever beam fixed at the base. The stiffness of the wall significantly reduces overall building sway and controls storey drift, thereby improving occupant comfort and protecting non-structural components. If multiple shear walls are present, wind induced forces are distributed among them in proportion to their relative stiffness, ensuring an efficient load sharing mechanism. In this study, the effect of presence of shear walls in RCC and composite structures in being analysed on basis of storey displacement, storey drift, stiffness, lateral force and base shear for G+20, G+25, G+30 buildings. Effectiveness of shear wall is being studied with the help of Twelve different models. Model 1 is G+20 RCC building with 300 thickness shear wall, Model 2 is a G+20 RCC building contains 300 mm thick composite shear wall with a 25 mm thick steel plate, Model 3 is G+25 RCC building with 300 thickness shear walls, Model 4 is a G+25 RCC building contains  300 mm thick composite shear wall with a 25 mm thick steel plate, Model 5 is G+30 RCC building with 300 thickness shear wall, Model 6 is a G+30 RCC building contains 300 mm thick composite shear wall with a 25 mm thick steel plate, Model 7 is G+20 RCC building with 400 thickness shear wall, Model 8 is a G+20 RCC building contains  400 mm thick composite shear wall with a 25 mm thick steel plate, Model 9 is G+25 RCC building with 400 thickness shear wall, Model 10 is a G+25 RCC building contains  400 mm thick composite shear wall with a 25 mm thick steel plate, Model 11 is G+30 RCC building with 400 thickness shear wall, Model 12 is a G+30 RCC building contains  400 mm thick composite shear wall with a 25 mm thick steel plate. The wind analysis is performed at different heights, such as 60 m, 75 m, and 90 m, with velocities of 44 m/s. The behaviors of the structure by using the Static analysis method and dynamic analysis method. The present study has been done by ETABS 2022. The comparison of the plan configurations also highlights the interaction between parameters such as storey displacement, storey drift, storey stiffness, and overturning moment response.},
