    (UMT. Lahore, 2024) Hafiz Bilal Akram; Asad Zaheer; Shoaib Akhtar; Noman Sial
    This investigation explores the specific challenges and considerations relevant to a G+5 building located in Lahore, Pakistan. It explores the design of building frame systems, focusing on structural integrity and efficiency. By employing shear wall systems, the project addresses the region's seismic vulnerability and ensures the structural stability of the building under potential earthquake events. The study includes detailed analyses of different frame types, load distribution, and the -impact of seismic forces, guided by the standards of ACI, ASCE 7-16, and the Building Code of Pakistan (BCP). The utilization of locally available materials and construction techniques is prioritized to support the economic viability of the project and contribute to the sustainable development of the local construction industry. Emphasis is placed on Sustainable Development Goal 9, which promotes resilient infrastructure, and Sustainable Development Goal 11, which aims for sustainable cities and communities. Index Terms: G+5 building, Lahore, Pakistan, Building frame system, Structural integrity, Seismic vulnerability, Impact of seismic forces, Load distribution, resilient infrastructure, earthquake-resistant design, construction techniques
