Abstract
For monolithic reinforced concrete structures, it is known that beams and slabs form a common body, so that the stiffness of the dissipative elements (beams) increases significantly. Also, it is known the fact that the beams are the principal structural dissipative elements. In these circumstances, it will try through numerical simulations (nonlinear calculation) a theoretical reproduction of a recently executed structure, so as to take into consideration the effect of excess rigidity brought to the horizontal dissipative structural elements (beams). It will be pursued the dissipation mode of seismic energy through plastic deformations (formation the punctual plastic hinges at the end zones of the beams and especially at the end regions of the columns).
