The main objective of this research is to evaluate effect of change of seismic zones on the design, detailing and         performance of the building. The work includes comparison of base shear, percentage steel in   columns and beams, and detailing of selected members. Moreover, it includes a performance comparison of the designed buildings on the basis of over-strength factors obtained from pushover analysis of the buildings.

Key words: Base Shear , Over Strength Factor, Pushover analysis.
