This study showcases the results from nonlinear static analyses of various potential combinations, focusing on the vulnerability assessment of four to six-story structures with irregular plan shapes, comprised of cast-in-place concrete slabs supported by masonry-filled frames. We derived theoretical capacity curves and evaluated them against multiple seismic scenarios as outlined in the Ecuadorian Construction Code. These scenarios span return periods from 25 to 475 years, assessed at 10-year intervals, and incorporate variations for soil types C and D.
