In this paper, the equations that calculate the seismic response of buildings for moderate earthquakes with considering accurate effect of the soil at the building site are presented. These equations can directly calculate required strength of buildings to satisfy the design spectrum, from design deformation of buildings and can be used for the seismic design of buildings. The validity of this calculation method is confirmed by time-history seismic response analyses. The paper also presents an example of the concept of the design method based on design deformation of buildings which is applied for severe and moderate earthquakes.
