<![CDATA[Multi-storey buildings constructed in areas prone to earthquakes and high wind loads are at risk of sliding, overturning, and floating. This article will present a simulation of the impact of several shear wall element placement conditions using the RESIST program. These configurations are used to understand the use of shear wall elements, their placement and size. This will facilitate the understanding of the basic principles that must be understood in structural design and at the same time their implications. So it will be easily understood in architectural design during the pre-design process. This study was conducted to facilitate the understanding of the principles of shear wall placement and its implications on building resistance to earthquake forces. This paper provides a concept of shear wall structures for earthquake-resistant buildings for designers and architects to understand the shear wall structural system more easily and provides an overview of the subsequent design process. The study resulted in several conclusions that the forces that occur are greatly influenced by symmetry related to plan balance, better placement of shear walls located at the corners of the building perimeter meeting, the size of the shear walls that must be adjusted to the building area, and the use of cores in the center to minimize moments. The simulation results provide an illustration in gaining a better understanding of lateral restraint structures, namely shear walls. The research results show that the resist software makes it easy to carry out analysis for pre-design that can be understood by architects and in the academic sphere by architecture students.]]>
