The tallest building designed in Poznań (western part of Poland) is the case study. The analysed building is a multifunctional office centre with the heliport on the top, called the ‘South Gate’. The main structure is the RC slab and column system with shear walls and cores. After many static analyses the seismic analysis, based on damage limitation state according to Eurocode 8, was made. The analysis, in which a continuous–discrete approach and the response spectrum technique were applied, was carried out by means of the DAMB program as part of an integrated system. The allowable design ground acceleration was evaluated. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
