Abstract

During the development process of the earthquake engineering discipline, seismic design codes evolved simultaneously and were updated from time to time in order to match the current state-ofthe-art at that time. Current international seismic design codes tend to converge on the issues of design methodology and the state-of-the-art. The existing codes differ significantly in specifying the limits on various control parameters and, if a building is designed for a given seismic hazard, using different seismic design codes, it is expected that seismic performance of the very same building will vary significantly. This article presents a comparative study of the seismic performance of an eightstorey RC frame building designed according to the U.S. American (ASCE 7-10 2010) and Indian (IS 1893-Part1 2002) seismic design codes for a given value of PGA corresponding to the Maximum Credible Earthquake (MCE).
