Information level coefficients are used to calculate reinforced concrete element capacities in the performance analysis of existing buildings. Knowledge levels are classified as limited knowledge level and comprehensive knowledge level. The existing material strengths are multiplied by the information level coefficients and the element capacities are calculated using the moment-curvature calculation.

After the concrete compressive strength and reinforcement yield strength values are found by using the existing material strengths and the knowledge level coefficient, the stress-strain relations are calculated according to the existing material strengths and material models are created for the existing structures . These material models created are used to obtain the moment-curvature relation of the section. After obtaining the moment-curvature relation, the plastic joint properties (skeletal curve, yield moment…) are obtained.
