This paper describes an investigation into the seismic performance of a six-storey ductile moment-resisting frame structure located in Vancouver and designed and detailed in accordance with the seismic provisions of the National Building Code of Canada (1995). Both pushover and dynamic analyses are conducted using an inelastic model of the structure as designed and detailed. The structural performance of a number of design variations is evaluated using interstorey drift and member curvature ductility response as performance measures. All frames studied are expected to perform at an operational level when subjected to design level seismic excitations and to meet life safe performance criteria at excitations of twice the design level.Key words: seismic, building, frames, ductile, design, performance, reinforced concrete, code.

The Moment

Several school buildings were surveyed in the disaster areas of the Marmara (17 August 1999, [Formula: see text]), Düzce (12 November 1999, [Formula: see text]), and Bingöl (1 May 2003, [Formula: see text]) earthquakes in Turkey. Among them, 21 reinforced concrete buildings were found to have an identical floor plan. Lateral load resisting structural system consisted of reinforced concrete frames (moment-resisting frame) in 16 of the buildings and structural concrete walls integrated with the moment-resisting frame (dual system) in the remaining five buildings. The number of stories above ground in these buildings ranged from two to four. These school buildings provide a nearly ideal test of the effect of a single important structural characteristic on the performance of buildings with structural designs that are uniform in all other respects. Our observation is that the presence of structural walls improves the behavior of reinforced concrete systems drastically.
