CAPACITY DESIGN OF RC MULTI-STOREY FRAME ACCORDING TO EN 1998-1
Abstract
The method of capacity
design requires the ductility of reinforced concrete load-bearing elements and
provides the beam plasticity mechanism for a structure to absorb a significant
seismic energy. Indeterminate static systems are particularly suitable, where
an indefinite number of static indeterminacy determines the number of plastic
hinges being forming, thus achieving favourable energy dissipation. In this
paper, reinforced concrete five-storey frame is designed for two ductility
classes according to the regulations EN1992-1-1 and EN1998-1.
