Performance Based Seismic Design

In the present work, a Performance-Based Seismic Design procedure applied to multi-storey frame structures with innovative hysteretic diagonal steel devices (called Crescent Shaped Braces or CSB) is introduced. CSBs are steel elements of peculiar geometrical shapes that can be adopted in frame buildings as enhanced hysteretic diagonal braces. Based on their "boomerang" configuration and placement inside the frame structure, they are characterized by a lateral stiffness uncoupled from the yield strength and, if properly inserted, by an overall symmetric hysteretic behavior with hardening response at large drifts, thus preventing from global structural instability due to second-order effects. The procedure here presented is intended to guide the structural engineer through all the steps of the design process, from the selection of the performance objectives to the preliminary sizing of the CSB devices, up to the final design configuration. The steps are described in detail through the development of an applicative example.

Performance Based Seismic Design

A pushover analysis method based on semirigid connection concept is developed and the colliding bodies optimization algorithm is employed to find optimum seismic design of frame structures. Two numerical examples from the literature are studied. The results of the new algorithm are compared to the conventional design methods to show the power or weakness of the algorithm.

The Impact

In accordance with damages of infilled wall frame structures in Wenchuan earthquake, the current 2010 version of "Seismic Design Code of Building" is attached herewith increasing significance to infilled wall, which switches "consider the impact of infilled wall on seismic performance of frame structure and avoid main structure destruction caused by setting infilled wall unreasonably " from a general provision into a mandatory provision, however, a specific quantitative description on the impact of infilled wall on seismic performance of frame structure is still absent. The impact of infilled wall on seismic performance of frame structure is analyzed in the paper, and two suggestions pertain to design and research of infilled wall is proposed under current phase: on the one hand, "conceptual design" should be kept on highlighting in the seismic design of infilled wall frame structures; on the other hand, based on the concept of "performance-based seismic design", the idea that infilled wall should be treated distinctively is put forward.
