Structural designing involves structural analysis and earthquake or seismic analysis of any structure before it is constructed. Earthquake or seismic analysis is simply the calculation of the response of a structure to earthquake excitation. Different seismic data are required to conduct the seismic analysis of structures in this research: The structural response of structures is studied under earthquake excitation and expressed in terms of member forces, joint displacement, support reaction, and story drift. For g+9 building structures, the response is studied by using STAAD PRO designing software. We observed a reduction in the response of cases for ordinary moment resisting frame. In this case we have taken earthquake zone 2, response factor 3 for ordinary moment resisting frame and importance factor 1.
   Initially we begin with the designing of simple 2-dimensional frames and man checked the accuracy of the software with our results. Then based on the criteria specified to it, analyzes the structure and designs the members with reinforcement details for G+9 residential building RCC frames. The minimum requirements pertaining(Be appropriate) to the structural safety of buildings are being covered by way of laying down minimum design loads which have to be assumed for dead loads, imposed loads, and other external loads.
