This paper provides a comparison between various performance levels of direct displacement based design and the conventional force-based design provided in the Indian Standard for a moment resisting RC framed building. The comparison is done with the help of various parameters like base shear to be resisted, cost of the structural members, displacement and inter-storey drift ratio. Non-linear Static pushover analysis is performed on all the cases and its results like pushover curve, performance point and failure hinge mechanism are also compared. From all the comparisons it is concluded that the building can be designed to achieve the desired performance with an acceptable increase in the price of the building. All the parameters show that the performance of the building increases in Direct Displacement based design than force-based design and it satisfies the desired seismic performance objective.
