Abstract: Civil engineering is a field of great responsibility. The structures built by civil engineers are used by a lot of people. To ensure their comfort and safety is of the outmost importance. There is no scope for errors in this field as it may lead to catastrophic disasters. Improper design and analysis will lead to failure of the structure which will cause a huge loss of life and property. Hence proper analysis of the structure as per the safety factors and load combination is necessary for maintaining safety. In India, Bureau of Indian standard (BIS) is the apex body which is responsible to set the guidelines for engineering design, materials and working procedures. Design of all buildings must adhere to the ‘National building Code of India’ (NBC) published by the BIS. It provides the guidelines for all building requirements. For civil engineering activity it has been publishing the IS codes with the joint approval of civil engineering council. We ought to follow the IS guidelines while carrying out the construction activity. In this project we will deal with the design and analysis of a G+14 R.C.C. structure. We will be adhering to the guidelines mentioned in the NBC for the design of the building. We will use the guidelines mentioned in IS code 456-2000 for the analysis of the structure. Projects with presence of shear wall has been found to be more economic and safe as compared to brick masonry wall. Hence this project contains a design and comparison of shear wall with brick wall.
