1st Croatian Conference on Earthquake Engineering 1CroCEE 2021

The earthquakes occurred in Durres in September and November 2019 has made so many damages in reinforced concrete structures that were build before and after 1990. Especially the greatest one of November 26 with Mw = 6.4 was destructive for so many structures . It was made the survey of the damages to make a classification based in two phases. The conclusion of the survey was that the damages occurred because of materials used, structural elements in poor details and the absence or inadequate use of RC shear walls. Some other buildings have unplanned floors without permit which were not included in the design of the structure and have leadhet in damages. Some recommendations are given in this paper to reinforce the structures according to Eurocodes, that must be implemented in these damage buildings.
