Structural Analysis of Earthquake-resistant Structures According to the Second Generation of the Eurocode and Comparison with the Existing EN 1998-1: 2004 with Application to RC Frame Building : Master's Thesis

Na primjeru armiranobetonske okvirne zgrade sagledane su osnovne razlike u proračunu potresno otpornih konstrukcija prema drugoj generaciji Eurokoda 8 u odnosu na postojeću normu EN 1998-1: 2004. Provedena je komparativna studija u skladu s postojećim i budućim normama kako bi se analiziralo sve karakteristike proračuna i dobivenih rezultata. Konačni rezultati su izraženi kroz usporedni odnos u postotcima. Rad je napisan kako bi se pred izlazak nove generacije normi uputilo na sve razlike, stvorila mogućnost detektiranja mogućih manjkavosti i stekao uvid u proračunske sile i potrebne količine armature prema novim normama u odnosu na trenutno važeće.In the example of a reinforced concrete frame building, the basic differences in the calculation of earthquake-resistant structures according to the second generation of Eurocode 8 compared to the existing norm EN 1998-1: 2004 were reviewed. A comparative study was conducted in accordance with the existing and future norms in order to analyze all the characteristics of the calculation and obtain results. The final results are expressed through a comparative ratio in percentages. The paper was written in order to point out all the differences before the release of the new generation of norms, to create the possibility of detecting possible deficiencies, and to gain insight into the calculated forces and required reinforcement according to the new norms compared to the currently valid ones
