Building performance is an indicator of how well a structure supports the defined needs of its users. Acceptable performance indicates acceptable (or tolerable) levels of damage or condition that allow uninterrupted facility operation. Consequently, performance-based design is the process or methodology used by design professionals to create buildings that protect functionality and the continued availability of services. In this Paper a 10 story building is designed using E-tabs software and a nonlinear static analysis is carried out using point plastic hinge model. The designed building was modelled and the hinges or possible failure locations were assigned. The stiffness of the building was increased due to the slab present and this was incorporated in the model using diaphragm. And finally the building is Evaluated as per its performance as per FEMA guidelines.

This paper provides a distinct study on the performance of different residential buildings with different height and length spans under the influence of applied loads according to the Turkish standard TS498. The research paper presents the nonlinear performance of the buildings and provides a clear picture of the plastic and its stages throughout the construction. The study explains the effect of the various stages of plastic and how it affects the rigidity of the building. The results portray the building's stiffness values and how they change. The results show that stiffness increases with length-increase and decreases by decreasing the height of buildings. All stiffness values were calculated according to the first plastic hinge formation. Software used is ETABS 2018 and all calculations and parameters used according to FEMA356-2000, ASCE 7-16, ACI-318, EURO code 8, and Turkish standard.
