Evaluate and compare the performance level of concrete structures intermediate moment frame system which is designed in accordance with the regulations criteria ACI318-99 and UBC97

Intermediate concrete moment frame systems at the world as one of the most common structural systems represent. This type of structure that meets the functional level at the time of the earthquake seismic design codes such as UBC ? This research has been done according to the computational model is designed according to the provisions of Section ATC 318-99 has the capacity to force members are 0.9 to 0.95. Finally, check the performance of the samples was determined according to Regulation FEMA356 evaluate the performance publications. Level of intermediate moment frame structures designed according to the provisions of ACI318-99 Building Regulations and the earthquake Regulations UBC 97, are the basis of safety of life at the risk of an earthquake in areas with moderate seismicity.
