Steel frames included with Additional stiffeners at their web will increase their load/Impact intake capacity.

Irrespective of codal provisions, just because of mechanical properties (stress-strain curve) steel structures shall have better response under seismic load condition than RCC structure. Moreover, braced system (damage to non-structural elements) will give better result than moment frame system (more inter-story drift).
