Structural engineers are facing the challenge of striving for the most efficient and economical design solution while ensuring that the final design of a building must be serviceable for its intended function, habitable for its occupants and safe over its design lifetime. As our country is the fastest growing country across the globe and need of shelter with higher land cost in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmadabad, Vadodara where further horizontal expansion is not much possible due to space shortage, we are left with the solution of vertical expansion. Engineers, designers and builders are trying to use different materials to their best advantage keeping in view the unique properties of each material Structurally robust and aesthetically pleasing building are being constructed by combining the best properties at individual material & at the same time meeting specific requirements of large span, building load, soil condition, time, flexibility & economy high rise buildings are best-suited solution. Also Wind & Earthquake (EQ) engineering should be extended to the design of wind & earthquake sensitive tall buildings. This paper discusses the analysis & design procedure adopted for the evaluation of symmetric high rise multi-storey building (G+30) under the effect of Wind and EQ. forces. In these building R.C.C., Steel, & Composite building with shear wall considered to resist lateral forces resisting system. This study examines G+30 stories building are analyzed and design under the effect of wind and earthquake using ETABS. Total 21numbers of various models are analyzed& designed & it proves that steel-concrete composite building is a better option. Analytical results are compared to achieve the most suitable resisting system & economic structure against the lateral forces.
