Nonlinear response of structures designed according to Croatian and European standards
Abstract
The nonlinear seismic response of structures dimensioned according to Croatian standards is compared with that of structures designed according to Eurocode 8. This comparison is based on models of regular reinforced-concrete structures with three systems for assuming horizontal forces. Several structural models have been selected and their seismic responses were calculated for the assumed impact of a series of earthquakes. Global and local seismic response parameters are analyzed and appropriate conclusions are proposed.
