In earthquake engineering, a performance-based design method is used to determine the level of the expected performance of the structures under the earthquake effect. The level of performance is related to the damage situation that could be occurred in the structure after the earthquake. In the performance-based structural design, it is predicted that more than one damage levels emerge under one certain earthquake effect. In this study, the seismic behavior of steel structures with plan irregularities in the Turkey Building Earthquake Code in the 2018 (TBEC-2018) is investigated by the nonlinear static analysis methods. The selected steel structures are located in İzmir, Turkey. The Turkey Earthquake Code in 2018 is considered for assessing seismic performance evaluation of the selected moment-resisting frame steel building. Four different A3 type irregularity was investigated. The steel building with no irregularity in its plan. was selected as the structure of the reference. The performance goals of the five different steel structures are evaluated by applying the pushover and procedures of the TBEC-2018. The steel structures were compared by obtaining pushover curves for both the X and Y directions. The results show that the effects of A3 type irregularity should be not considered in design and buildings without irregularities are safer.

This paper evaluates the accuracy of the Modified Fish-Bone (MFB) model for estimating the maximum inter-story drift ratio of irregular moment resisting frame (MRF) structures. To make this model applicable to irregular MRF structures, some modifications are made to the MFB formula. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the MFB model, several irregular frames with different types of irregularities are considered when subjected to different ground motions with different intensities. A local and a global error measure are defined and they are calculated for different frame models subjected to different earthquake records. The effects of different irregularities, ductility demand and frame height on the accuracy of the MFB model are investigated. Based on the results obtained from this evaluation, two simple and effective approaches are suggested to improve the MFB models.
