ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to investigate the dual reinforced concrete frame systems of mixed ductility level which are described in Turkish Seismic Code, 2007, (TSC '07) by using Nonlinear Static Analysis (Pushover Analysis) for evaluating the seismic performance of these reinforced concrete buildings. For this purpose, a sample reinforced concrete structure is used accordihg to Turkish Seismic Code, 2007, (2.5.4.1(c)), to evaluate the performance where the ratio of the sum of base shear developed at the bases of solid structural walls under seismic loads to the total base shear developed for the entire building is between the values 0.4 and 213 (0.4
