        abstract = {Earthquake-resistant design of multistory reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in India is governed by IS 1893 (Part 1), which has undergone substantial revision in the 2025 edition relative to its 2016 predecessor. This study presents a comprehensive seismic performance evaluation of a G+16 story RC frame building in Seismic Zone V using three complementary analytical methods: the Equivalent Static Method (ESM), the Response Spectrum Method (RSM), and Nonlinear Time-History Analysis (NLTHA), conducted in ETABS v21. Two structural configurations are studied: Model B, an IS 1893-compliant RC moment frame incorporating RC shear walls with an L-shaped plan, and Model A, a bare RC moment frame without shear walls. Key findings demonstrate that RSM governs lateral displacement over ESM by 34.7%, while NLTHA yields maximum base shear exceeding RSM by 7–12%. The 2025 edition imposes spectral demands 8–10% higher than the 2016 edition. Shear walls reduce the fundamental period by 41% and control peak roof displacement by up to 65%.},
