Abstract—Earthquake and its occurrence and affects, its impact and structural response have been studied for many years in earthquake history and is well documented. The structural engineers have tried to examine the various procedures, with an aim to resolve the complex dynamic effect of seismically induced forces in structures, for designing of earthquake resistant structures in a refined and easy manner. The objective of the present study is to assess the lateral forces based on static analysis and dynamic analysis. Two case studies have been presented and lateral forces, base shear are compared. The results thus obtained are tabulated and compared.

Index Terms—Seismic Coefficient Method, Response Spectrum Method, Base Shear, Storey Moment
