Nepal located in the seismically active region due to its geographical positions. Its ranks 11th in the terms of vulnerability of earthquake. In order to visualize the response of building during earthquake, it is important to do analysis of buildings for earthquake resistant also to withstand earthquake effect without the losses of life and property. This report on "Seismic Analysis of Public Building" has been conducted by incorporating all the stages of structural analysis and designing the elements. It consists of preliminary design, determination of lateral loads, structural analysis and detail design of structural elements. Preliminary design consists of assessment of tentative dimension of structural members such as beams, columns and slab. Loads on building have been determined using IS Codes. As Nepal lies on earthquake prone zone, structural analysis is conducted using ETABS. Seismic Coefficient (static) and Response spectrum (dynamic) analysis has been incorporated for analyzing the building. Sizing various members of the structures to resist the forces to which they might be subjected during their effective life span was done. This report portrays the work needed for the analysis and design of earthquake-resistant building systematically.
