The Korean Building Code was provided by the Ministry of Construction & Transportation in April, 2005. The earthquake resistant design criteria in this Korean Building Code has been improved. In this paper, such results as the lateral force and the story shear, etc. calculated by the equivalent static analysis procedures which were provided in the Korean Building Code, the ATC provisions and the UBC97 are compared with the results calculated by the dynamic analysis procedure provided in the Korean Building Code. And the differences between the lateral forces calculated by the equivalent static analysis procedures and those calculated by the dynamic analysis procedure have been examined. According to these examined differences, an improved method to calculate the lateral forces of the bearing wall-type building structures based on the equivalent lateral force procedure has been proposed.
