This paper presents the basic principles of seismic analysis of structures according to the YU81 andEuropean norm EN 1998-1: 2004. The aim of the paper is a critical review of comparative analysisof seismic impacts in the design of building structures according to these standards. EC8 involvesseveral innovative approaches for the design and construction of structures, such as no structuralfailure, limiting the degree of structural damage, important public use facilities must remain usable.Purpose of this research is to compare the value of seismic force according to YU81 and EC8, forthe same type of structure, depending on the parameters variation, such as different soil categories,different seismicity class, different building structural systems.
