Abstract
Steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) compliant with EN1998-1 are generally overdesigned in order to satisfy the requirements for lateral deformability and P-Delta effects. On the contrary, the North American codes (e.g. ASCE7) give different rules for P-Delta effects. The current draft version of the amended EN1998-1-1 introduces a different methodology to account for the structural lateral displacements. In this paper static non-linear analyses were carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the new EC8 provisions with respect to the former version of EC8 and the current ASCE7. The results show that the structures designed according to the latest draft version of the EN1998-1-1 and those compliant with the North American code exhibit similar behavior.
