In developing countries, the need for shelter, working area, shopping and entertainmentcenters is increasing due to the increasing population effect. In order to meetthis need, it is necessary to turn to high-rise buildings. Significant damages have beenobserved as a result of insufficient horizontal displacement stiffness of high-risebuildings in major earthquakes in previous years. It is known that as the height of thestructure increases, the displacement demand of the structure also increases. Sinceit is accepted that the structure will make inelastic deformation in the design of thestructure, these displacements increase to very high levels as the number of storiesincreases. For this reason, damages can be much higher than expected. In order tolimit the level of damage that may occur in high-rise buildings, the horizontal displacementof buildings is limited in many regulations in our age. This limitation ispossible by increasing the rigidity of the structures against horizontal displacement.In recent years, the use of shear wall has increased due to the horizontal displacementlimitation in the regulations. The use of shear walls in buildings limits the horizontaldisplacement. However, the choice of where the shear walls will be placed onthe plan is very important. Failure to place the shear walls correctly may result inadditional loads in the structure. It can also lead to torsional irregularity. In thisstudy, a 10-storey reinforced concrete building model was created. Shear wall at therate of 1% of the plan area of the building was used in the building. The shear wallsare arranged in different geometric shapes and different layouts. The earthquakeanalysis of 5 different models were performed. Equivalent Earthquake Load, ModeSuperposition and Time History Analysis methods were used for earthquake analysis.The results were compared and a proposal was made for the geometry and configurationof the shear wall.
