| | Resumen: | The inconsistency between the code-prescribed seismic actions and the forces presumably induced in buildings by the ground motions recorded during severe earthquakes is pointed out. The influence of ductiiity and overstrength in the performanceof buildings is discussed in general terms and through the analysis of the response of two buildings affected by strong earthquakes: one is San Salvador and the other in Mexico City. The capacity available in excess of the assumed in the design was significantly different for the two cases. possible reasons for these differences are discussed and the need for a more rational procedure to derive the seismic actions for the design of buildings is emphasized (AU).
