This document discusses the earthquake analysis of a 4-storey reinforced concrete building located in seismic zone IV using both manual calculations and STAAD Pro software. Static and dynamic analysis methods are used to calculate the base shear. For the static analysis, the base shear from manual calculations is 99.93 kN while from STAAD it is 87.88 kN. For the dynamic analysis, the manual base shear is 80.93 kN and from STAAD it is 83.89 kN. The results show that static manual calculations provide a more conservative base shear value compared to the other methods. Recommendations are made to further analyze irregular structures and consider nonlinear behavior.
