an irregular RC frame with specially shaped columns has been designed
which situated at the area of fortification intensity 8. Subsequently
the nonlinear dynamic analysis has been carried out for the structure by inputting ground motions in two directions. After summing up the calculation results
this paper has examined seismic performance of the structure under the rare seismic actions and given a primary evaluation on the structure to see if it could achieve the predetermined anti-seismic aims. It indicates that the structure designed according to the codes can achieve the predetermined anti-seismic aim under the rare earthquake.
