        abstract = {A building was modelled, analysed, and dimensioned across the four seismic zones of India: Zones II, III, IV, and V. The research focused on the quantities and properties of the structural materials of the building. Modelling was conducted using ETABS 20V with frame elements, and the analysis utilized the "equivalent static analysis" method. The study featured a twelve-story building with an asymmetrical rectangular floor plan. The objective was to investigate whether the seismic hazard zone influences the quantity of construction materials required for a load-bearing reinforced concrete building by comparing material usage within and outside these zones. The study sought to ascertain the impact and importance of seismic activity, offering insights into how seismicity influences material demands for reinforced concrete building structures.},
