Abstract The current paper studies the effect of superior eigen-modes on the seismic response for a series of reinforced concrete structures having eigen-periods near code control periods. Although the structural design is based on Romanian seismic design codes (“P100-1/2013 - Seismic design code - Part 1 - Design provisions for buildings” and “SR-EN 1998/2004 - Design of structures for earthquake resistance”), it carries some importance for other countries with similar seismic design spectra. A total of twenty-four models for structures were considered by varying their location (through control period values), three-dimensional regularity, overall dimensions and height regime. Results were compared and conclusions were drawn based on percentage values of relative displacements (storey drifts) and base shear forces.

After defining design criteria in general for foundations
of earthquake resisting reinforced concrete structures, principles 
are set out which govern the choice of suitable foundation systems
for various types of shear wall structures. The choice of
foundation systems depends on whether the seismic response of the superstructure during the largest expected earthquake is to be elastic or inelastic. For inelastically responding superstructures, preferably the foundation system should be designed to remain elastic. For elastically responding superstructures, suitable foundation systems may be energy dissipating, elastic or of the rocking type. Design criteria for each of these three foundation types are suggested.

Seismic Response Analysis

In nonlinear dynamic analyses of RC structures based on fiber-based discretization of member cross-sections, the constitutive model used to represent the cyclic behavior of reinforcing steel typically plays a significant role in controlling the structural response especially for nonductile systems. The accuracy of a fiber-section model is almost entirely dependent on the ability of both the concrete and reinforcing steel constitutive material models to represent the overall inelastic behavior of the member. This paper describes observations related to the fundamental properties of reinforcing steel such as buckling, hardening, diminishing yield plateau and growth of curvature, Bauschinger effect, and low-cycle fatigue and strength degradation that are relevant to the overall task of developing an accurate material model for use in seismic response analysis of reinforced concrete structures.
