wall and slab of construction is in widespread use in countries which are known as earthquake vunnerable regions of the world. Their structural systems are composed of solely shear walls and slabe having the same thickness as usual applications. To identify their most essential design parameters nonlinear dynamic analyses were conducted on the back bone of performance based design methodology . that attempt facilitates the investigation on comparing these two systems on the performance.
