Seismic codes are very important in the designing of multistoried buildings. In order to design an earthquake resistant building, structural engineers must have the good knowledge of the various seismic codes. In this study, seismic design provisions in five building codes, IS 1893-2002 (Part-1), Japan (AIJ), 1997 USA (UBC), Canadian (NRC 2005) and 2009 USA (IBC) and their similarities and differences are reviewed. American seismic design code was first to be introduced in the world in 1927, after the California earthquake. Great advances in the building standards in different countries make it possible for their comparison. Factors like Importance factor, response reduction factor, seismic zones, soil profile, Fundamental time period, base shear will be compared. Prima facie, after the study performed it looks like the Japanese code is the most advanced code in the world. Indian and American codes are quite similar, while there is a huge difference in the Japanese and rest of the codes.

Base Shear, Fundamental Time Period, Importance Factor, Response Reduction Factor.
