In this paper, earthquake response analyses were performed using equivalent linear method at the soil sites classified as soil types III and IV in "Standard Design Loads for Buildings" Soil Factors were back-calculated by using spectral accelerations obtained from the analyses and those values are compared with soil factors described in other domestic seismic guidelines. For buildings which have the natural period higher than 0.9 sec, it was possible to use soil factors of soil types II and III instead of those of soil types III and IV, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that seismic base shear force can be overestimated in the current seismic guidelines and the improvement is required. required.
