For this reason, in this paper a method was proposed to calculate the maximum displacement and maximum interstorey drift ratio (IDR) values. In this model, reinforced concrete multistorey structure was modeled as an equivalent flexural-shear frame. Maximum displacement and the maximum IDR were calculated according to the Equivalent Static Loads Method and The Response Spectrum Method using the continuum model and the results were tabulated. With the help of the obtained tables by this study, the maximum displacement and the maximum IDR of the regular multistorey structures can be calculated quickly and practically. The axial deformation of the vertical elements (columns and shear walls) were approximately considered in the study. The convergence of the presented method to the Finite Elements Method was investigated by two examples in the last part of the study.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAttribution 3.0 United StatesEquivalent static loads methodHand methodMaximum displacementMaximum interstorey drift ratio (IDR)Response spectrum methodConference Object235 LNCE092910.1007/978-981-99-1748-8_22-s2.0-85161188388
