Abstract: An earthquake occurs in the form of seismic waves due to sudden release of energy and results in ground shaking. During earthquake, seismic waves propagate through the soil which results in structural damage due to movements within the earth’s crust. It impacts the behavior of interaction of components like building, foundation, underlying soils and also overall system behavior.When earthquake occurs, the behavior of a building depends on distribution of mass, strength and stiffness. Generally, the buildings are subjected to various types of forces throughout their existence. The forces can be static forces due to dead and live loads and dynamic forces due to earthquake. In this study, the analysis is carried out for seismic response of (G+15)residential building for zone-III and Zone-V regions through response spectrum method and time history method in ETABS. The parameters likestorey displacement, storey drift and storey shear are observed for specified zones.
