In Turkey precast reinforced concrete structures are widely used as industrial and hangar structures. This type of structure is preferred because architectural types with wide spans and long heights can be built practically and quickly. The building height class (BHC) concept has been stipulated by Turkish Building Earthquake Code (TBEC, 2018) for various types of structural systems. Single-story buildings with pinned beamcolumn connections cannot be designed higher than 12 m according to TBEC-2018. In structures with beamcolumn connections, emulative at the top section and welded at the beam plate (MAB3) and Couplers (MAB4), design height restrictions are imposed depending on the earthquake design class of the structure. In a design made according to TBEC-2018, structural stiffness and carrying capacities are determined by drift ratio controls, period lower limit control, and, if the mode combining method is used, earthquake force magnification based on the equivalent earthquake force. In a single-story structure with pinned beam-column connections, the structural design is completed by increasing the earthquake effects directly calculated using these controls.
