Shear walls are essential for resisting lateral forces in high-rise buildings, especially under seismic and wind loads. This study examines the effects of varying opening sizes (1m × 2.5m to 4m × 2.5m) in shear walls on the structural performance of a 14-storey building using ETABS. Key parameters such as lateral displacement, story drift, and shell stresses were analyzed. Results indicate that larger openings increase displacement and drift by up to 35% compared to solid walls, although all models comply with IS 1893:2016 limits. Openings up to 2m × 2.5m maintain acceptable stress levels (≤11.25 MPa), offering an optimal balance between structural integrity and architectural function in seismic zones.
