Performance based seismic design allows to design the building with a realistic understanding of risk of life, occupancy and economic losses that may occur from future seismic activities. New building having expected performance level can be constructed using this concept. The non-linear performance level of a RCC building is affected by its design parameters one of which major contributor is the longitudinal and transverse reinforcement present in the columns and the beams of a structure. The present study includes analyzing and designing a 10 storey RCC building using response spectrum method for building located in zone-III. The performance level of the building is evaluated depending on drift values and yielding of hinges as per ATC 40 in SAP 2000. The effect of various design parameters on the performance level of a building is found out. Results are presented in terms of static pushover curve, displacements and hinge status. Later for changing the performance level of building to all the possible performance levels like IO, LS, CP and other levels, their respective change in design parameters will be evaluated.
