This paper outlines a performance-based seismic design methodology for steel bridge systems. Two kinds of menus are proposed. The first is the displacement-based evaluation method which compares the response displacement with the ultimate displacement, and the second is the strain-based evaluation method which compares the response strain and the ultimate strain. Moreover, the seismic required performance matrix for bridge structures and soundness matrix for members are presented and discussed.

A new performance-based plastic design procedure for steel moment frames is presented in this paper. The role of plastic analysis in seismic design of structures is illustrated. The ultimate design base shear for plastic analysis is derived by using the input energy from the design pseudo-velocity spectrum, a pre-selected yield mechanism, and an ultimate target drift. The proposed design procedure eliminates the need for a drift check after the structure is designed for strength as is done in the current design practice. Also, there is no need for response modification factors since the load deformation characteristics of the structure, including ductility and post-yield behavior, are explicitly used in calculating the design forces. The results of nonlinear static and nonlinear dynamic analyses of an example steel moment frame designed by the proposed method are presented and discussed. The implications of the new design procedure for future generation of seismic design codes are also discussed.


This paper presents an overview of the current state of knowledge with regard to literature on Performance based seismic design method. Performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) comprises the design, evaluation, and construction of structures performing during design earthquakes and extreme earthquakes to the desires / needs of owners, user, society and environment. The general promise of performance based design is to produce engineered structures with predictable performance during future earthquakes. Presented in this paper is an updated literature review of the Performance -based Seismic design (PBSD) method. Performance based Seismic design is an elastic design methodology done on the probable performance of the building under different ground motions. The derivatives of the PBSD method, known as the Performance ¬based Plastic design (PBPD) and Displacement-based seismic design (DBSD) method that has been widely recognized as an ideal method for use in the future practice of seismic design has also been reviewed.

Performance-based seismic design (PBSD) method has been widely recognized in recent years, it can be used for the future structural design. And the direct displacement-based design method (DDBD) is one of the most effective ways to implement the performance-based seismic design (PBSD) theory in current. In this paper, aiming to the composite frame consisting of composite beams and continuous compound spiral hoop reinforced concrete columns (CCSHRCS), its DDBD flowchart is presented, and the structure identified performance objectives in the preliminary design process and specific seismic performance assessment methods are given. Finally, through the calculation results of CCSHRCS frame case that demonstrated the reasonableness of the method. It provides an effective tool for the seismic design of CCSHRCS frame structures

This study aims to provide a comparison and identify the key distinctions between the New Zealand Standard – Earthquake Actions (NZS 1170.5: 2004) seismic design spectra and the hysteresis-damped seismic demand spectra specified by either the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering (NZSEE) “Assessment and Improvement of the Structural Performance of Buildings in Earthquakes” (AISPBE) Guidelines, or the “Displacement-Based Seismic Design of Structures” (DBSDS) textbook by Priestley et al. (2007). The damping provided by the draft document, “The Seismic Assessment of Existing Buildings” (TSAEB), was also briefly discussed. The seismic design spectrum was calculated for various levels of ductility using all three methods and compared against each other. This was performed for structural elastic periods from 0.1 to 4.5 seconds. For a given set of requirements based on the NZS 1170.5 parameters, a representative acceleration-displacement hysteresis loop has been generated. The equivalent viscous damping was then calculated based on the area under this hysteresis using the recommendations of either the AISPBE or through the damping equations based on the DBSDS. The final damped spectra were then compared with each other and against the NZS 1170.5 design spectrum. Results indicate good correlation between the NZS 1170.5 design spectra and the damped design spectra at low levels of ductility but show significant disparities at higher levels of ductility.
