Abstract:
A seismic safety assessment of the two reinforced concrete buildings, located in Sarajevo,
Bosnia territory, is conducted in respect to ATC-40 method. Within the framework of the
performance based earthquake engineering, at the first stage, seismo-tectonic setting of the
territory was discussed, then, by using historical seismicity of the region, the seismic hazard
analysis for the Sarajevo City in Bosnia is performed in probabilistic manner. The site specific
uniform hazard spectra at 5% damping for 475-year return period is employed as an earthquake
demand. Then building stock information of Bosnia and Herzegovina is discussed. Lastly, two
typical modern building’s performance assessments are carried out.
