Abstract (EN): This work determines the numerical vibration characteristics and verifies the seismic response of FEUP (School of Engineering of the University of Porto) new campus library building, through the application of new seismic regulations EN 1998-1 (Eurocode 8). The building under study was designed in 1995, so based on the previous design rules RSAEEP (Regulations on Safety and Actions for Structures of Buildings and Bridges) and REBAP (Regulations for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures). For the building characterization and seismic analysis and performance according to EN 1998-1, the respective numerical modeling was performed by using two distinct types of software: SAP2000 and Robot Structural Analysis. These enabled comparisons between the results obtained from each type of software. The analysis performed, showed that the shear walls mostly resist to earthquake action; this led to a new numerical formulation in which the contributions of the columns in the resistance to the seismic action was not accounted for.
