Abstract
The seismic behaviour of RC structures is one of the main factors in the design of buildings. For the best performance, a series of factors such as: the geometry in plan and height, the physical characteristics of the materials used, time of construction or the choice of the type of horizontal structure are listed. The scope of this presentation is the impact of post-tensioned slabs and dynamic response of RC structure using the response spectrum method according to EC2 & EC8, by 3D Model FEM solution (ETABS software).
