A Performance

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.

Performance Based Seismic Design

According to the failure characteristics of reinforced concrete bridge columns and the need of performance based seismic design in bridge, reinforced concrete bridge column performance levels, which are categorized into fully operational, temporarily operational, reparably operational, life safe and near collapse levels are established. To relate bridge damage to socio-economic descriptions at the five designated performance levels, qualitative indices are established. Considering field investigations following a seismic event, quantitative indices for the same five designated performance levels are proposed. Based on the statistical data of 154 seismic performance tests of RC bridge columns with circular section subjected to flexural failure, drift ratio limit for the same five designated performance levels are put forward. It can be used to determine displacement of pier top in performance based seismic design.

A Performance

A performance based design criteria for seismic rehabilitation requires considerable communication with building owners to develop a mutual understanding of the design constraints and the product that is delivered. This communication becomes even more complex when the goal is to minimize the occupant disruption. This paper presents a discussion of two seismic rehabilitation projects in Southern California where minimizing occupant disruption was essential and where the seismic design was a performance based design. One building was a midrise concrete-frame building housing computer facilities and executive personnel. The other building was an unreinforced masonry residence for business and movie professionals. In both situations base isolation was the best design solution.

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
