A number of reinforced concrete multistoreyed frame buildings were heavily damaged and many of them completely collapsed in Bhuj earthquake of 2001. Such behaviour is nann ally unexpected of HC frame buildings in MSK Intensity VIII and vn areas as happened in Kachchh earthquake of January 26,2001. This paper brings out the main contributing factors which lead to poor performance during the earthquake and to make recommendations whicb should be taken Into account in designing the mulfistor-eyed reinforced concrete
