The earthquake of October 8th, 2005 in Pakistan indicated the need for evaluation of seismic adequacy of existingbuildings since many buildings suffered great damage or collapsed. To evaluate the performance of RC buildings underfuture expected earthquakes, a non-linear static pushover analysis was conducted. To achieve this objective, buildings wereselected from seismic region of zone 2B, zone3. Force-deformation (Pushover Analysis) relationship was plotted by thisanalysis in SAP 2000. The results obtained from this study show that properly designed gravity loaded frames will performwell under seismic loads up to some level. The primary observations from the study showed that the accuracy of the pushoverresults depends strongly on the load path, properties of the structure.
