Building which have a shear wall is very good choice in such type of countries which are earthquake prone like New Zealand, Chile and USA. Shear wall are the more capable to resist lateral forces but sometime due to different requirement like door, windows, or other requirement, shear wall contain many opening which changes the efficiency of shear wall. In building for different purpose different size and at different place opening is provided. Study of effect of opening in shear wall in building is carried out in this study. For this study finite element software ETABS is use. The analysis is done by linear static and dynamic analysis method. Tables and graphs are plotted in term of time period, storey displacement, storey shear and storey drifts.
