Reinforced concrete (RC) structure are widely used structural system in buildings across the Turkey. The new Turkish standard on earthquake, TBEC 2018: Turkish Building Earthquake Code, was published on 2018 which is replaced for the old earthquake code, TEC 2007: Turkish Earthquake Code-2007. This paper aims to present a comparison between the seismic design provisions of these two codes for the design of mid-rise RC structures. The code provisions in both codes are evaluated and differences in terms of ductility and strength for the design of mid-rise RC structures are highlighted and presented. It was shown that the design base shear is higher when using TBEC 2018 code. A 4-story building is designed according to both codes and then the performance of the structure was evaluated. Due to differences on allowable drift limit, the R and Cd factors, the structure showed different behaviour when design according to both codes which are discussed in detail in this paper. A cost analysis was also carried out and compared for both buildings.
