Description The upgradation of seismic design codes and advancement of engineering knowledge revealed that existing buildings designed as per old versions are seismically deficient. In order to estimate the additional demand in base shear due to the seismic upgradation of seismic codes, this paper reviews the provisions of the three revisions of seismic codes viz. IS: 1893-1966, 1984 and 2002 using seismic coefficient method. The design seismic base shear depends on the type of building frame, location of the building in seismic zone, site soil condition, importance factor and response reduction factors given in respective revisions of IS:1893. Three building models were studied in order to bring out the increased demand in base shears due to the seismic upgradation of IS: 1893. It is found from the analysis, the base shear demand of the existing buildings designed as per old versions of seismic codes (IS:1893-1966, IS:1893-1984) need to be increased to comply with present version of the code, IS:1893-2002.
