General reinforced concrete (RC) frame systems are considered to have disadvantages in the use of plane space especially in the corner area since the size of cross-sectional dimension of column members are larger than the thickness of walls. For the reasons, in the current study, a type of multi-column RC frame system is newly attempted to design as a type of RC office building system. Structural design practice and seismic performance evaluation were applied to both the general RC frame system and the multi-column RC frame system. The multi-column RC frame system can be applied to the seismic load level in Korea. In addition, it was concluded that there are advantages in earthquake response such as maximum lateral displacement, bending moment of the column, base shear force, and reaction force.
