Influence of the Dead Loads in the Seismic Design of Ductile Frames of Reinforced Concrete

This paper evaluate the influence of dead load reduction in seismic design a public building to be built at zone bigger hazard Cuba on soil type D by Cuban code NC 46:2017. The evaluation was carried out comparing structural heavy and lightened variant, based critical sections superstructure including joints. solicitations static equivalent method are offered computers program SAP 2000NL version combined with gravitational loads actual code. limit resistant capacity method, using Excel Workbook DISRESPLAS consulting formulations international reference standards. Finally, it is shown that moderate significantly rationalizes simplifies construction details, particular,
