Abstract
The authors present a general technique of conception of simplified methods based on a multi-level approach. These simplified methods allow the computation of great structures under complex loading in a reasonable time and with a good accuracy. Two applications detailed in the references are summarised in a first time. Then a new development is detailed and the differences with the firsts are pointed out. The results are compared to a finite element computation. The accuracy is about the same but the computation is more rapid. The aim of this work is the non linear computation of civil structures under seismic loading.
