Abstract: Earthquake is a sudden energy release in the upper mantle or earth’s crust , usually caused by volcanic activity or a fault plane movement and resulting in the generation of destructive seismic waves . In the present work performance of 3D frames under different lateral load resisting system has been evaluated by pushover analysis. Different lateral load resisting systems like masonary infill and RCC infills have been evaluated. Also linear static and dynamic analysis have been performed and evaluate the results like storey shear, base shear, storey drift, time period etc., have been compared. A frame with RCC infill will perform good among all the types.

Keywords: Seismic Analysis, Modal Investigation, Equivalent Static Analysis, Pushover Analysis.
