Abstract: The present paper presents a comparison of the seismic provisions of the three seismic design codes, namely the Philippine code (National Structural Code of the Philippines or NSCP2010), the European code (Eurocode 8 or EC8), and American code (2009 International Building Code or 2009 IBC), to the most common ordinary residential building of standard occupancy. Two regular and irregular reinforced concrete (RC) frames were analysed and compared for four storey and eight storey buildings. The response spectrum function of NSCP 2010 was considered for the horizontal load action with different load combinations. Response spectrum analysis was performed using SAP2000 software package. Five representative columns for each RC frames were analyzed and based from the results of column axial load - bending moment interaction diagrams, EC8 was found to be conservative as compared to NSCP 2010 and 2009 IBC. The conclusion is that for the design and analysis of ordinary RC residential building with certain irregularity, EC8 provisions were considered to be safer.
