...rete frames with 4, 6 and 8 stories high andsfurther comparison to an existing 4 storied frame structure. The new structures will be first designedsaccording to the Romanian seismic code (P100-1/2006 =-=[2]-=-). The existing structure had beenspreviously designed by the 1963 seismic code and is used on a “as is” basis. All the structures willsbe subjected to various levels of peak ground acceleration which...
