The comparison is mady on the basis of the specified base shear coefficient, the vertical distribution of the base shear, the story shear and overturning moment, the considerations for torsion, P-delta effect, and the limitations on the story drift. Substantial differences are observed among the codes and even within different editions of a code, a good example being the UBC series. A comparison of seismic ptovisions having relevance to the Equivalent Static Force (ESF) method of analysis according to current major building codys worldwide is presented. ![]()
