Abstract - Bracings, shear walls, dampers,baseisolationetc are the earthquake resistant techniques adopted to the building to safeguard it from the hazourdous effects of earthquake. The main purpose of this project is to analyze the G+10 residential building with and without Rubber bearing. Two models of the building were created one with rubber bearing and other with fixed support subjected to Dead load, live load and Earthquake load in combination as per IS 875 (part 1&2) and IS 1893-part1. The building considered to be located in zone V. Both the models were analysed and are compared on the basis of storey displacement, storey shear, storey drift, and base shear and are illustrated in the form of chart. The results show that storey displacement, storey shear, storey drift, and base shear values were much less in case of model with rubber bearing when compared with model with fixed support.

Earthquakes are the most destructive of natural hazards. Earthquake occurs due to sudden transient motion of the ground as a result of release of energy in a matter of few seconds.Theimpactoftheeventismosttraumaticbecauseit affectslargearea,occursallofasuddenandunpredictable.

Thestoreydisplacement,storeydrift,storeyshearandbase shear values of model with rubber bearing is lower when comparedtomodel withoutrubberbearing,indicatingthe improvedLateralStability
Based on the results,itis recommended toinclude rubber bearing in the design of multi-storey buildings in highseismiczonestoreduceseismicvulnerabilitiesandensure adherencetosafetystandards
The rubber bearing improve the distribution of seismic forces,reducingstressconcentrationsoncolumnsandbeams, thusminimizingtheriskofstructuralfailures.
