With increasing earthquake frequencies across the globe causing catastrophic failure and ample of loss to life and property, there is an utmost need of earthquake resisting structure. One of the major cause is brittle failure, to overcome the above limitation, codal provisions have incorporated the ductility aspect. This paper aims to have a comparative study of conventional and capacity based design of reinforced concrete with the help of pushover analysis-nonlinear static analysis method. The essence of capacity based design procedure is to set a strength hierarchy within each of the structural members, and then in the structure as a whole. Comparative evaluation of both the designs have been performed on the grounds of column to beam capacity ratio, hinge formation pattern, storey drift ratio, sway potential index etc. Outcome of this study could benefit academic community, industry practitioners and researchers in enhancing the design of earthquake resisting structure.
