At the time of Earthquake RC (Reinforced Concrete) framed structures are subjected to lateral loadings. Most of the RC structures are design to resist the gravity loading only by neglecting the effect of lateral loading on it at the time of earthquake. This study is concentrated on the comparison of cost for both earthquake resistant building (Special Moment Resisting Frame, SMRF) and Non-earthquake resisting building (Ordinary Building). This study has been carried out using STAAD PRO software, IS 1893:2002, IS456:2000 and IS13920:1996 for designing of structure and SOR for analysis of rates for cost comparison of both structures. The building under analysis consist of 5 floors and has 4 bays along both X and Z direction with a span of 3m each, floor to floor height is 3m throughout the structure height. The building has been located in seismic city AGRA, Uttar Pradesh.
