Steel building systems are preferred lateral force resisting system in regions with high seismic risk due to their ductility capacity. Concentrically Braced Frames (CBF) are commonly used in steel structures provide one of the most economical solutions. Concentrically braced frames are widely used in steel structures as lateral load bearing system in the high level seismic zones. In this study, it is aimed to perform a performance analysis according to the Turkish Building Earthquake Code 2018 in a five-story reinforced concrete shear wall-framed structure in Izmir where active fault lines are located. Steel structure was designed and also, the performance analysis of this structure was performed by using SAP 2000 computer software which has advanced analytical techniques. In the earthquake engineering, performance-based design method is used to determine the level of expected performance of the structures under the earthquake effect. Level of performance is related to the damage situation that could be occurred in the structure after the earthquake. The selected structure has 6 storey and CBF's designed with respect to Turkish Building Earthquake Code-2018(TBEC-2018) and Steel Structure Code 2018 (SSC-2018). In addition, the structure is consisted of 4 bays in X direction and 3 bays in Y direction. Results show that for CBF steel structures expected performance level which is life safety has been provided.
