        abstract = {Advanced studies in India emphasize the delicate nature of tall buildings and the effect of earthquakes in certain regions. Their slender forms combined with low damping make effortless structures highly sensitive portions of the earthquake importance. Their reinforced concrete structures stand tall as the majority in the country. Their set of multi-storied buildings underpin the integrated design concept and advocate the servicing core. Moreover, each building is put under value addition by the designer and the structural frame is meticulously designed to accommodate different forms such as static live and dead loads, as well as the dynamic earthquake forces. This work analyzes the cohesion of buildings, or areal pull together under the influence of seismic forces across the four documented seismic zones of India to determine the structural integrity and safety. This model under observation is a multi-story reinforced concrete framework, which is prescriptively parametrically analyzed with the help of the static and dynamic Equivalent Approximation Approach through the software ETABS and in respect to IS 1893:2016 (Part 1).
The research examines how tall buildings respond to seismic forces in India’s seismic zones using ETABS. It evaluates parameters such as base shear, lateral displacement, inter-storey drift, and mode shapes for Zones II to V, highlighting differences in structural performance. A G+10 storey RC building is assessed under all four seismic zones. The Response Spectrum Method is applied to analyze structural behavior variations. Separate ETABS models are developed for each zone, keeping geometry and loading conditions identical for direct comparison of base shear, storey drift, time period, and stiffness.  The main aim is to evaluate how the same building behaves differently under identical loading when subjected to different seismic zones. The comparison focuses on lateral displacement, inter-storey drift, and base shear.},
