The study of this paper is on seismic isolation. It is the most powerful technique to protect the building from structural and non-structural damages of earthquake. Seismic isolation are commonly known as Base isolation system, that is utilized is composed of elastomeric bearings such as Lead rubber bearing (LRB) with different sizes are designed. The purpose of this study deals with the structural behavior of R.C building with LRB isolators are designed for economical point of view to the required building. For this study, a 12 story RC frame building is considered and non-linear pushover analysis method is carried out up to failure of the building with using ETABS2015 software. Also compared fixed base structure and base isolated structure and various parameters like Base shear, Displacement, Story drifts of building with isolator. This comparative result shows the high effective and suitable size of isolator that can be implemented much more economical for the structures.
