Abstract

The Task Group 1.1 of IABSE has proposed studies of comparisons among seismic codes, in order to find out discrepancies and similarities among them. The idea of the study is to select major international seismic design codes to be analyzed and compared among them. A comparative study of codes from seismically active regions of various countries is presented herein covering European, United States, Brazilian, Bulgarian, Canadian, French, Italian, Greek, Japanese, Mexican, New Zealander, Portuguese and Turkish codes and National Annexes of Eurocode 8. The study is focused in the criteria for the design of conventional (residential and commercial) buildings, analyzing some critical topics. A prototype reinforced concrete building is analyzed, considering all the codes under analyses and main results derived form the seismic design are compared.
