In accordance with the philosophy of performance based seismic design (PBSD), the fully operational performance level (or service performance level) for frequently occurring earthquakes and the criteria for determining its allowable drift indices is discussed in this paper. To determine the allowable drift limits of the service performance level for frequently occurring earthquake, it is important that not only the degree of damage of nonstructural members but also the degree of cracking in structural components should be controlled. Based on an analysis of test results and calculation results, a series of allowable drift index limits that conform to the fully operational performance level of RC structures are presented.

The theory of performance-based seismic design (PBSD) is the key issue for the modern earthquake engineering research. With comparison of the traditional prescriptive seismic design code based on the bearing capacity design, the PBSD method presents the specific performance object for the buildings. On the base of the background and development of the PBSD about reinforced concrete (RC) structures, some researches and design approaches of PBSD were proposed for the concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) structures based on the research results on PBSD of RC structures and the mechanical behavior of CFST structures. Some theory analysis was performed to investigate the PBSD performance of CFST structures. This is referred to further study on PBSD for CFST structures.

A new type of anti-wind device was put forward. 1/4 scale model about it had been tested and analyzed by FEM. Comparison of FEM, design calculation results with test results also had been done.Test and FEM results show the intermediate section will be the most weakness part, no matter that it is on the condition of in-plane load or out-plane load. During the stage of anti-wind design, it is safe for the FEM, design calculation results in which the standard strength of material is used, but at the stage of seismic design, the ultimate strength of anti-wind device should be considered in order to assure the anti-wind device to damage while earthquake happens.

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

In past two decades earthquake disasters in the world have shown that significant damage occurred even when the buildings were designed as per the conventional earthquake-resistant design philosophy (force-based approach) exposing the inability of the codes to ensure minimum performance of the structures under design earthquake. The performance based seismic design (PBSD), evaluates how the buildings are likely to perform under a design earthquake. As compared to force-based approach, PBSD provides a methodology for assessing the seismic performance of a building, ensuring life safety and minimum economic losses. The non-linear static procedures also known as time history analysis are used to analyze the performance of structure . Plastic hinge formation patterns, plastic rotation, drift ratio and other parameters are selected as performance criterias to define different performance level. In this paper, a five-storey RC building is modelled and designed as per IS 456:2000 and analyzed for lmmediate occupancy performance level in ETABS2015 softwere. Analysis is carried out as per FEMA P58 PART 1 & 2. Plastic hinges as per FEMA273. From the analysis, it is checked that the performance level of the building is as per the assumption

Abstract The paper presents an original method of calculation of the fatigue persistence based on the adoption of the load spectrum in the form of a correlation table, two-parameter fatigue characteristics and the linear hypothesis of fatigue damage summation. The calculation results by the proposed method were compared with the results of fatigue tests programmed for node-seal construction. On the basis of a comparative analysis of the test results and calculations conclusions regarding the usefulness of the proposed method to evaluate the fatigue persistence of components have been reached.

This paper divided the seismic performance of RC Components into five levels: integrity, slight damage, slight ~ moderate damage and serious damage, which were defined based on material damage. Physical and mechanical description of RC components in each performance level was given, which can be used as the basis of performance-based evaluation of concrete components in microscopic model and the basis of research on deformation index limits in macro components.

Performance-based seismic design is the basis of most new seismic design standards and specifications worldwide. In a performance-based seismic design, a performance objective consists of the specification of a performance level and a corresponding probability that this performance level may be exceeded. This study explored some probability information for seismic performance for reinforced concrete buildings and masonry buildings. The exceeding probabilities of various performance levels for reinforced concrete buildings and masonry buildings during their 50-year useful lives were investigated. Then, a probabilistic evaluation was performed for these buildings to examine the achievement of desired performance design objectives.

This study introduces a simple and efficient method to determine the peak floor acceleration (PFA) at different performance levels for three types of plane reinforced concrete (RC) structures: moment-resisting frames (MRFs), infilled–moment-resisting frames (I-MRFs), and wall-frame dual systems (WFDSs). By associating the structural maximum PFA response with the deformation response, the acceleration-sensitive nonstructural components, and the building contents, can be designed to adhere to the performance-based seismic design of the supporting structure. Thus, the proposed method can accompany displacement-based seismic design methods to design acceleration-sensitive nonstructural elements to comply with the deformation target of the supporting structure. The PFA response shape is represented by line segments defined by key points corresponding to certain floor levels. These key points are defined by explicit empirical expressions developed herein. The maximum PFA response is correlated with the maximum interstory drift ratio (IDR) and other vital characteristics of the supporting structure such as the fundamental period. The proposed expressions are established based on extensive nonlinear dynamic analyses of 19 MRFs, 19 WFDSs, and 19 I-MRFs under 100 far-fault ground motions scaled to capture different deformation targets. Realistic examples demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method to assess the PFA response at a given IDR, making the method suitable in the framework of performance-based design.
