The purpose of this study is to evaluate the seismic performance of mid/low-rise reinforced concrete(RC) pilotis buildings in terms of core locations. So called “Pilotis” configuration usually characterized by a open-first-story for use of parking or reception lobbies. A seismic point of view, structural system of open-first-story is very weak from earthquake because the open-first-story only subjects lateral deformations. In this study, seismic performance assessment of two different pilotis buildings with the core wall at center and the core wall at extreme corner is carried out. Response Spectrum Analysis (RCA) and Linear Dynamic Procedure (LDP) analysis were used to evaluate the seismic performance. As a result, it can be stated that the location of core in pilotis RC buildings significantly affects the resistance of structural members subjected to earthquake load.
