Abstract Seismic vulnerability assessment of an existing building is of high importance for ensuring the safety of the structure and the occupants. An earthquake may not be predictable but seismic performance of a structure can be well- predicted in advance which aids in deciding the correct retrofit technique for a building ensuring the safety of the occupants. A RC building situated in the seismic zone III region of Vellore, Tamil Nadu has been taken into consideration for analysing its seismic vulnerability. The region is yet to catch engineering attention for evaluation of seismic performance of such buildings. With the help of the nearest fault line data, the PGA value was calculated and the value suggested moderate potential damage. The RVS score of the building was categorised in the high probability of Grade Damage 3 i.e. structural damage in moderate range and non-structural damage in heavy range. A detailed numerical analysis was carried out in ETABS using equivalent static force method to simulate the earthquake forces in the structure. Although a dynamic method of analysis considers higher magnitude of earthquake forces based on a more realistic earthquake excitation, equivalent static force analysis is sufficient for a preliminary analysis of the building. The building having a soft storey in the ground floor showed variations in its behaviour on application of earthquake forces in four different case scenarios of shear wall application. The maximum storey drifts were then compared for the building in cases of existing soft storey and with the application of shear wall in the ground floor, staircase walls and with a combination of shear wall in both the locations. The results showed that shear wall in the staircase proved to be the most economical retrofit solution for the building.
