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. In the performance-based structural design, it is predicted that more than one damage levels are emerged under one certain earthquake effect. In this study, the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete shear wall hotel building collapsed during Van Earthquake, 2011, is investigated by the nonlinear static analysis. The selected reinforced concrete shear wall structure is located in Van, Turkey. The Turkish Building Earthquake Code in 2019 is considered for the assessing seismic performance evaluation of the selected reinforced concrete shear wall building. The performance goals of the reinforced concrete shear wall structure is evaluated by applying the pushover (Incremental Equivalent Earthquake Load Method) and procedures of the Code and nonlinear dynamic analysis. According to the code, the reinforced concrete shear wall hotel building is not expected to satisfy life safety performance levels. In this study, it is selected one collapsed building, because, it is tested reliability and usability of performance analysis method under design earthquake.
