Technical benchmarking of the EU harmonized Romanian seismic assessment code
Abstract
A technical benchmarking study is presented, aimed to evaluate the EU harmonized Romanian seismic assessment code in comparison with its European and U.S. homologues and to identify potential opportunities for its future improvement. The benchmarking procedures are illustrated by parallel seismic assessments, performed, according to the analyzed regulations, on a reinforced concrete frame structure relevant for the building typologies in Romania.
