FIG. 3.8 Foundation plan.

(FC) or deformation-controlled (DC). It is noteworthy that the expected mate-
rial strength (mean value) is used for determination of the members’ capacity
with DC action, and the lower-bound material strength (mean value minus one
standard deviation) is used for the members’ capacity with FC action. With
regards to the above considerations, the model of the building is prepared,
and linear dynamic analysis by consideration of 40 natural modes of the build-
ing is performed.

3.3.1 Modeling and Analysis of the Building
The three-dimensional modeling of the building is performed by using SHELL
elements for RC shear walls and FRAME elements for columns and beams.
