R/C Frame Design in Seismic Zones: Code Comparison by Manea Bogdan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document compares the design of an 8-story reinforced concrete frame building according to Romanian and European seismic codes. The building was designed twice, once according to each code, to compare differences. Key findings include cross-sectional dimensions being up to 10% larger when designed by the Romanian code due to higher base shear forces and stricter inter-story drift limits. Beam reinforcement ratios were 15% higher and shear reinforcement ratios were up to 30% higher when designed by the
