The aim of the present work is to analyze a multistory and multi bay (G+5) moment resisting building frame for earthquakeforces following IS 1893 and then design it as per IS 800:2007 .The frame consists of six story‟s and has three bays in horizontal directionand five bays in lateral direction. The selection of arbitrary sections have been done following a standard procedure. The two methods thathave been used for analysis are Equivalent static load method and Response Spectrum method .A comparative study of the results obtainedfrom both these methods have been made in terms of story displacement ,inter story drift and base shear . The frame has also been furtherchecked for P- analysis and required correction in moments have been done following IBC code .Then the steel moment resisting framehas been designed following IS-800:2007 based on these methods of analysis. In the process of design the section has undergone numerousiterations till all the criteria mentioned in the IS 800 have been satisfied. The designed frame was again analyzed and results were comparedin terms of sections used. The cost efficiency of both the methods have been compared.Keywords: Base Shear, Story Displacement, Story Drift, IS 800-2007, Response Spectrum Method
