Lateral Load Analysis: BNBC 1993 vs 2017 by ronald torres is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1) A comparative study was conducted on lateral load analysis of an 8-story building using ETABS considering BNBC 1993 and BNBC 2017 codes. 2) Analysis found that for seismic base shear, maximum lateral displacement, and inter-story drift, values were higher when using BNBC 2017 compared to BNBC 1993. 3) Reinforcement requirements for concrete buildings designed for lateral loads were found to be less under BNBC 2017 compared to BNBC 1993, making BNBC 2017 relatively more economical.
