The authors analyze regulatory requirements in codes of different European countries, USA, CIS, Canada etc. on ensuring safety of buildings and structures at earthquakes. The methodology based on non-elastic response spectra of buildings and structures allowing taking into account the non-linear behavior of structures is proposed in elaboration of Eurocode 8 requirements. The paper provides the calculation examples of non-linear displacements of framed and frameless concrete buildings.
