Pre-cast construction is gaining significance in general and urban areas in particular. It is gaining more popularity with the rapid urban infrastructure growth. In this context G+11 storey residential building with precast reinforced concrete load bearing walls has been attempted for analysis. The structural system consists of load bearing walls and one-way slabs for gravity and lateral loads have been taken for analysis using ETABS. Various wall forces, displacements and moments have been worked out for different load combinations. Data base is presented for the worst load combination. This work is limited to the analysis of structural elements only not the connection details.
