Design & Comparison of G+8 RCC building in Zone 2,3,4 &5

This project aims of Designing a G+8 RCC Hospital Building for gravity loads as well as lateral loads and comparing the the same building in Seismic Zone 2, 3, 4, & 5 in terms of Lateral forces, Seismic behavior of building, Displacement & Member Sizes. The study gives in depth understanding about effect of earthquake and shear wall resisting it while transiting from Zone 2 to Zone 5.
