Countries located in earthquake zones describe methods for evaluating the existing performance of buildings in their published earthquake regulations and offer standard solutions. Although the algorithms provided for the application of these calculation methods are explanatory and facilitate easy implementation for determining the seismic performance of structural elements, performing these calculations manually is not very practical in terms of time. Structural analysis programs have been developed to quickly and easily determine the seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete buildings. The assumptions used in calculating the force and displacement capacities of the structural elements in existing reinforced concrete buildings directly affect the behavior and performance of the building. Despite static package programs taking into account the rules given in our earthquake regulations, different results can be obtained in building analysis due to variations. The aim is to determine the compatibility of the shear force (V) and drift (D) based VD Method, developed for determining the performance of existing buildings, with the static package programs frequently used in Turkey. Buildings affected by the 2011 Van earthquake were analyzed within the scope of the method developed under the name VD method, using the relationship between the shear force obtained from linear analysis and the corresponding horizontal displacements, and then compared with the analysis outputs of the static package programs commonly used in Turkey, such as Sta4CAD, İdeCAD and ProtaStructure. As a result of the analysis, it has been determined that the compatibility between the VD Method and the static package programs for the existing buildings considered is higher in the global direction assessment. Considering the compatibility rate obtained for the buildings considered, it is evaluated that the shear force and drift-based VD Method could be a performance evaluation technique.
