Neither the earthquake can be predicted nor it can be stopped as it is natural phenomenon. The only thing is effect of earthquake can be minimized. Earthquake itself is not vulnerable but the fragile and un-engineered structure cause the serious problems during earthquake. So to cope with this problem we need to take care for the construction of earthquake resistant construction. We can`t construct earthquake proof structures as term engineering itself depicts economic i.e the project should be completed within the minimum budget including all the facilities. So we should think about minimizing the risk during such phenomenon. So the role of Civil/Structural engineers is to analyze and design of earthquake resistant structures. Here in India there are four seismic zones zone II, zone III, zone IV and zone V. the paper aims to collect the information for design and analysis of buildings in different seismic zones and interpretation of the results obtained by ETABS software.
