Concrete structures are prone to earthquake due to mass of the structures this should be minimized by replacing normal weight concrete by structural lightweight concrete. The primary use of structural lightweight concrete is to reduce dead load of structure which results in reduction of inertia forces in the structure. Lightweight concrete has the low density of range 1440 to 2400 kg/m3 according to ACI-318R while the normal weight concrete has a density of 2400 kg/m3. In this study, we use lightweight concrete of density 1800kg/m3. The low density of lightweight concrete is achieved by the use of lightweight aggregates. In this study, A G+5 multi-storied RCC structure is considered. The structure is modeled using standard software i.e., STAAD Pro V8i SS6 (Structural analysis and aided design) with lightweight concrete and same structure is modeled with normal weight concrete by providing shear walls at four corners of the building. The structure is now subjected to response spectrum analysis and storey drifts, storey displacements, base shear, bending moment, shear force, and variation in steel quantity are found out for various load combinations with the aid of IS 1893-2002 (Part-1).
