In conventional design approaches, structural safety is assessed by utilizing the damage that could occur to main components, such as columns and shear walls, and consequently, their failure that may lead to progressive (or partial) collapse of structures under extreme dynamic loads. Even when extreme conditions are taken into account, structural safety is not probabilistically assessed and controlled, thus uncertainties in loads and system capacity are neglected. In this thesis, the behavior of mid-rise reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, which are designed in accordance with the Egyptian standards, are assessed analytically under the action of seismic loads. In addition, resilience evaluation for such buildings under the action of seismic loads is determined. As such, non-linear time-history analyses (NLTHA), in addition to pushover analyses, were carried out on nine RC frames with reinforcement ratios used in columns varying from 1% to 3% and a number of stories varying from six to ten floors. In addition, fragility curves are developed in order to illustrate the probability of exceeding structural damage due to earthquakes as a function of ground motion indices
