More than half of our country falls under active seismic zone and considerable destruction has been caused in India by earthquakes. A good knowledge of seismicity is essential for assessment of seismic hazard especially for a developing country like India where destruction and deaths due to earthquakes are at several order. The cost of the material required in structural system for a multistoried building makes 40-50% of the overall cost of a typical RCC structure. For the analysis and design of a RCC structure, there are many software available in the market such as STAAD-Pro, ETABS, SAP, ANSYS etc. Among all the available softwares the chosen software, ETABS has many advantages over its counterparts such as accurate analysis result, optimized design output, better user interface and availability of more number of Indian and International codes. In the present study we are aiming to optimize the size of structural components using ETABS. The analysis and design has been done for G+9, G+11 RCC structure for seismic zone III and V. The loading and all other relevant considerations are made for office building. Based on the output obtained from the detailed analysis, the quantity and cost models are prepared. These models have the direct applicability in the construction field giving the most economic cost and safe design.
