Seismic Performance of Buildings Designed by Current Seismic Code

Abstract

In this paper, the dynamic analysis of buildings considering soil-structure interaction whose base shears was defined by Calculation of Lateral Load Carrying Capacity and Calculation of Response and Limit Strength depending on the design ductility of buildings was conducted.The response ductility of buildings with the base shear by Calculation of Response and Limit Strength based on accurate value of soil amplification agreed well to the design ductility, however both response ductility by Calculation of Response and Limit Strength based on simplified value of soil amplification and that by Calculation of Lateral Load Carrying Capacity showed significant difference from the design ductility.�
