Summary:

      Linear elastic procedure is one of the performance assessments of the existing buildings methods under seismic loads according to DBYBHY 2007. The structural elements are separated as confinement or non-confinement, and then they are classified ductile or non-ductile. The demand-capacity ratios (r) are used to determine the hazard level of structural elements in linear elastic procedure. The concrete compressive strength and steel yield strength of the existing buildings on-site are required for determining either moment capacity or shear capacity and compressive strength of the structural elements which will be used to compute the demand-capacity ratios (r). In this scope, buildings to three stories representing the existing reinforced concrete buildings in Turkey are selected and designed in accordance with the national code regulations. This structural system of different concrete compressive strengths and steel yield strength are observed by means of linear theory. Resulting seismic performances of this system is evaluated through linear elastic procedure which is imposed by 2007 Turkish Earthquake Code.

The lower strength of concrete and the lower strength of steel have been taken into account for analysis and determining capacity. Demand-capacity ratios for columns and beams related with different concrete and steel strength have computed separately. The numerical results obtained by these analyses are compared and offered.

       In this study, If Concrete compressive strength and steel yield strength on-site are under the design strength, the capacity of the structural elements in building having the values of different.

Key Words: Linear elastic procedure, Performance, Demand-capacity ratio, Concrete compressive strength, Steel yield strength.
