<br/><br/> The first aim of this study is to assess the performance objectives engaged in the Iraqi Seismic Code (ISC 1997) in order to make a realistic evaluation related to performance-based seismic design (PBSD) of multi-story reinforced concrete buildings and also to evaluate and compare the structural response demands obtained from nonlinear static analysis (NSA) procedures according to two versions of the capacity spectrum method (CSM) which are recommended in ATC 40 and ATC 55. The second aim is to present a simplified approach to handle the performance issues easily, by deriving the required factors to condensate the frame into an equivalent frame with a single bay model. This modeling will be called 2The Condensed Frame Approach (CFA)
