Abstract
Differences between Croatian regulations and Eurocode (EC8) with respect to seismic design of structural elements of buildings are described. Reinforced-concrete models of structures designed according to both documents are compared. Models of various reinforced-concrete structural systems are compared: frame models, models with walls and mixed models. The authors demonstrate that the procedure based on EC8 is more complex and that it requires higher level of engineering knowledge. The paper is a part of the research project aimed at adapting EC8 to conditions prevailing in our country.
