An analytical study has been carried out to understand the interaction between laterally loaded shear wall and floor slabs in building with fiber reinforced concrete at the junction of shear wall and slab. To carry out the analytical investigation, a ten floor building with cross wall system is analysed using ETABS and the shear wall slab junction was modelled using ANSYS 14.5. The models are sorted into 5 groups including control model with normal concrete and four other models with different steel fiber ratios from 0.5 to 2 percent. Non-linear analysis of models subjected to in plane and out of plane bending. The performance of the junction in terms of load-deflection, ultimate load, post cracking behaviour are compared. Fiber reinforced concrete performed well for in plane bending, increasing the ultimate load and also resistance to crack, and better post cracking behaviour.
