Abstract

Fragility curves are constructed for prototype regular RC frame and wall-frame buildings designed and detailed per EC 2 and EC 8. The aim is to evaluate how the Eurocodes achieve their seismic performance goals for RC buildings designed to them. These goals seem to be met in a consistent and uniform way across all types of buildings considered and their geometric or design parameters, except for concrete walls of Ductility Class Medium, which may fail early in shear despite their design against it per EC 8. In fact they do not perform much better than those in braced systems per EC 2 alone.
