PERFORMANCE-BASED SEISMIC ASSESSMENT OF RC FRAME STRUCTURES USING SIMPLIFIED SDOF IDA

The following paper focuses on the conducted performance-based analyses of 8 representative reinforced concrete frame structures. These structures encompass a range of stories, including 2, 3, 5, and 7, and feature varying bay numbers of 3 and 4. The frames are designed to represent the central frame of a reinforced concrete spatial frame structure. The RC frame structures are designed following Eurocode 0 and Eurocode 2 recommendations. The seismic analyses of the RC frame structures are conducted using equivalent lateral force method, in line with Eurocode 8 capacity design recommendations. The analysed frame structures are classified as ductile moment resisting frame structures and it is assumed that they are located in Skopje, N. Macedonia.
