00 Overview
Capacity design provisions are required to obtain the hierarchy of resistance of the various structural components necessary for
ensuring the intended configuration of plastic hinges and for avoiding brittle failure modes.
In multi-story buildings, formation of a soft story plastic mechanism shall be prevented as such a mechanism might entail excessive
local ductility demands in the columns of the soft story. In frame buildings, including frame-equivalent systems, with two or more
stories, the following condition should be satisfied at all joints of primary or secondary seismic beams with primary seismic columns:

Rc

1.3 MRb

MRc is the sum of the design values of the moments of resistance of the column framing the joint.
MRb is the sum of the design values of the beams framing the joint.

Concrete buildings are classified in three ductility classes DCL (low ductility), DCM (medium ductility) and DCH (high ductility)
depending on their hysteretic dissipation capacity. For DCL concrete buildings, EN 1992-1-1:2004 may alternatively applied for
seismic design situation. DCM and DCH concrete buildings correspond to buildings designed, dimensioned and detailed in
accordance with specific earthquake resistance provisions, enabling the structure to develop stable mechanisms, without suffering
brittle failures.
midas Gen provides automatic capacity design to satisfy the specified ductility classes (DCM and DCH) as per EN1998-1:2004 as
well as EN1992-1-1:2004.

For all types of walls,
dynamic component of the
wall axial force may be
taken as being 50% of the
axial force in the wall due to
the gravity loads present in
the seismic design situation.
This force shall be taken
to have a plus or a minus
sign, whichever is most
unfavorable.
