The pressent dissertation deals with the analysis, dimensioning and estimation of the construction cost of a five-storey reinforced concrete building constructed in the three different seismic hazard zones. The ground plan of the building we are studying is a conventional floor plan with solid reinforced concrete slabs. The cross-sections of the structural members remain stable, except for the columns whose cross-sections are reduced in height. The simulation of the vector is performed with the SAP2000 software with linear elements and selected the modal response spectrum analysises, while the behavior factor q is calculated according to EC8. The building calculation is according to the EC2 and EC8 provisions for the ground floor building components in the three zones of seismic hazard. Next, the concrete and ground steel measurement for each zone is followed and the analysis, annotation of the results. The aim of this dissertation is to demonstrate how much the cost of manufacturing the load bearing structure of a reinforced concrete building is affected by the seismic risk of the area.
