This study proposes an iterative direct displacement based design method for a novel steel-timber hybrid structure. The hybrid structure incorporates cross-laminated timber (CLT) shear panels as an infill in steel moment-resisting frames. The proposed design method is applied to design three-, six-, and nine-story hybrid buildings, each with three bays and a CLT-infilled middle bay. Nonlinear time history analysis, using 20 earthquake ground motion records, is carried out to validate the performance of the design method. The results indicate that the proposed method effectively controls the displacements due to seismic excitation of the hybrid structure.

Spectral Velocity

Direct displacement-based design (DDBD) method is one of the most effective methods for performance-base design of structures that has been also employed to design structures controlled by fluid viscous damper (FVD). In previous studies, a modified DDBD has been developed to apply the higher mode effects as well as difference between spectral velocity and pseudo-spectral velocity on the design velocity of FVD. To this end, two constants were defined to correct the damping coefficient of FVD that these correction constants had been determined in a non-classical and iterative manner. In this study, a new classical method is proposed for determining these constant such that no iteration is required in DDBD. In order to be able to introduce this design approach as a reliable framework, its performance is validated under different sets of earthquake records and this design approach is also developed for structures controlled by nonlinear FVD. Steel moment-resisting frames with different numbers of stories have been designed using this method. For comparison, structures have been also designed based on DDBD proposed in previous researches. The results show that DDBD approach improved in this study is capable to achieve the design performance level under different sets of earthquake records and this design approach has more effective performance than previous design methods. Performance of steel moment-resisting frames equipped with nonlinear FVD also shows excellent performance of this design approach in achievement of desirable performance level. Therefore, DDBD approach proposed in this study can be introduced as a new classical and reliable framework because of its simplicity and excellent performance under different sets of earthquakes.

Displacement Based

The Seismic design of structure has conventionally been force based. Displacement is the major factor for the damage rather than force. The alternative procedure for seismic design, which becomes more popular, is performance based design method. Displacement is global parameter of performance based design method. Direct displacement based design method has been used for seismic design of structure. The paper attempts to design moment resisting RC-frame using Displacement based design method and Forced based design method. 15-storey building with shear wall has been taken for parametric study. The parameter like base shear and lateral load distribution are taken for the study. It is observed that base shear of RC building calculated by DDBD is less compared to FBD.
