The trend toward vertical construction has led to heavier buildings as components must withstand higher gravitational loads. This weight increase poses challenges for structural stability, particularly in seismically active zones like the Pacific Ring of Fire, where designs must be ductile to resist both weight and seismic forces. Using alternative materials, such as lightweight concrete (LWC), offers an effective way to reduce structural weight. This project analyzes the design of a six-story multifamily building in Surquillo, comparing its performance using conventional concrete (NC) and LWC. The lightweight concrete used incorporates natural aggregate, maintaining a compressive strength of 210 kg/cm² while reducing its density to 1850 kg/m³. Results show that using LWC makes the structure more ductile, reducing total weight by 17.40% and base shear by 23.50%. However, this increased flexibility also leads to greater absolute displacement at the top floor, increasing by 11.50% in the X direction and 13.05% in the Y direction. Furthermore, material usage decreases, with concrete volume reduced by 14% and steel by 19%.
