India is the second largest country in population all over the world and the land shortage is the common concern in large cities now a days. To reduce this problem multistorey buildings are the only option available because it provides more convenience in less space. And to make these structures economical, safe and convenient it is really important to add new ideas and technologies. The base shear reduction is the one of them. By using optimum size of the beam at the top floors of the building the base shear can be easily reduced under seismic loading. In this study various papers allied to this topic are reviewed in which an enormous work is done in this field earlier. With the help of review of research paper we came to know the conclusive outcome which forms the research objectives of our further technical study.
