ABSTRACT—The modern day civil engineering has progressed to such a level that construction of multistoried structures around the world has been going on in a very rapid process. Most of the engineers prefer the easy and suitable plan according to the economy and ease of construction. But due to some desired requirements of the place or due to its functionality different shape buildings are considered. Not all the buildings lie in a safe zone. Some region in the world comes under seismic zone. The research paper involves the modeling and analysis of G+10 storied building of Rectangular shape, L shape snd C shape structure using ETABS 2016 software. The parameters such as displacement, drift, shear and overturning moment are compared and it was found that Rectangular shape is the best suited and L shape structure is the least desired shape for construction in seismic zone.
