Abstract

This abstract covers the design of G+10 apartment building with medium ductility class according to ES-EN. The paper starts with a summary about basic design criteria outlined in ES-EN 1990:2015. Earthquake analysis and design for a medium ductile building and why it is preferable than a low ductile building was discussed. At the commencement it includes a summary of fundamental principles of earthquake, damage limit state and serviceability limit state, method of analysis, criteria for selection of the analysis method, evaluation of regularity in plan and elevation and design for ductility class medium (DCM). In the linear elastic analysis, lateral force method of analysis was selected. Calculation of base shear force, center of mass, distribution of the horizontal seismic force and accidental torsional effects have been performed using ES-EN 1998:2015. Beam and column design was done based on capacity design philosophy in accordance to ES-EN 1998:2015. At last the design of foundation was done. Isolated footing was selected due to the rigid ground condition.
