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.

The paper presents a summary of the work concerning the prediction of cracking risk in reinforced concrete structures at early age that has been carried out by our team at the LMDC laboratory during the last ten years. It focuses on the principles that must be taken into account in numerical simulations (evolution of characteristics, behaviour law, numerical implementation, effect of reinforcement, etc.) in order to be able to predict the cracking pattern caused in structures by the thermal loading induced by hydration at early ages

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.
