Abstract- This thesis mainly focuses on impact of vertical component earthquake ground acceleration on reinforced concrete building structures. The base of this thesis is to evaluate the effect of vertical component earthquake ground acceleration in zone V of India. To achieve these objectives medium soil profile were used to analyse selected building in linear response spectrum analyses using ETABs 2015 software. Structural responses like shear force, axial force, and bending moment as well as column due both horizontal and vertical versus horizontal earthquake ground accelerations were used as a parameters for comparison. Vertical component earthquake ground acceleration should be considered if the proposed building structure is sited around near faults.
