In the paper, five procedures for the assessment of the seismic performance of low-rise RC buildings at different levels of complexity are presented and discussed. They include simple procedures ...based on methods originally developed in Japan (levels 1 and 2), the N2 method with two variants of the mathematical model (levels 3 and 4), and non-linear dynamic analysis (level 5). The procedures have been applied to seismic assessments of three RC building structures. A small difference between the N2 and NDA results was observed, whereas the results of the procedures at the first two levels are much more conservative. On the other hand, the amount of input data and of computational work increases with the increasing complexity level. Research is still needed on the definitions of capacities, especially the shear capacity of the structural members, and on the capacity of the whole structure. The initial effective stiffness of the structure proved to be the most important quantity which determines the seismic demand.
